Sanju also broke a record previously held by Baahubali 2. With Sunday's collection( first week) figures at over Rs. 46 crores, Sanju topped the list of Hindi films with highest single day grossing.
In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Sanju 4 stars out of 5. "Ranbir Kapoor, slipping into the skin of the troubled Bollywood star, pulls out the stops in astonishingly effective ways, subsuming his own personality completely into that of the protagonist. The director is on the top of his game and the actor frequently soars to dizzying heights. Sanju, as a result, is an entertainer that delivers more than just the superficial goods that one expects from a mass entertainer. It sets a new benchmark for Bollywood biopics. It will be a hard act to follow," he wrote.
Sanju was welcomed with positive reviews by critics and audience alike. Ranbir Kapoor plays the protagonist in the biopic based on the life of actor Sanjay Dutt. The film also stars Manisha Koirala, Paresh Rawal, Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Vicky Kaushal.
