Sanju's box office report.
Sanju now headlines the list of biggest openers of 2018, followed by Salman Khan's Race 3, which had crossed Rs 100-crore mark at the box office in just three days.
Here's a list of top five opening day business of Ranbir Kapoor's films.
In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Ranbir Kapoor's 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, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, is a biopic on actor Sanjay Dutt. Apart from Ranbir, who plays Dutt, the cast includes names like Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza, Vicky Kaushal and Jim Sarbh.
