Sanju become third highest grosser of all time

Adarsh Rout: Sanju just reached another milestone. This Rajkumar Hirani directorial has crossed the lifetime business of Hirani’s own PK. Sanju’s collection now stands at Rs 341.22, crossing PK’s Rs 340.8 crore. Now Sanju is the third biggest Indian movie of all time, only behind Baahubali: The Conclusion’s Rs 510.99 crore and Dangal’s Rs 387.38 crore.

Sanju is a biopic on controversial actor Sanjay Dutt and stars Ranbir Kapoor in the title role. The film traces the life of Sanjay from his entry into Bollywood to the present. Sanju released on June 29, and continued to give stiff competition to new releases, including Dhadak, Soorma and Mission Impossible. It remains to be seen whether it will hold strong as Fanney Khan, Mulk and Karwaan have just hit the screens.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh posted the figures on Twitter. “#Sanju surpasses *lifetime biz* of #PK… Now THIRD HIGHEST GROSSING *Hindi* film… [Week 5] Fri 45 lakhs, Sat 87 lakhs, Sun 1.15 cr, Mon 35 lakhs, Tue 40 lakhs, Wed 38 lakhs, Thu 34 lakhs. Total: 341.22 cr. India biz.
