Actor Ranbir Kapoor starrer Sanju is still going strong at the box office.

After four and a half weeks of its theatrical run, the Rajkumar Hirani film, is yet attracting the audience, even when new releases are coming in and fizzling out. 

The Sanjay Dutt biopic, on day 25 has collected an outstanding Rs 333.55 crore and has become the biggest success story so far. 

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh posted the box office figures on Twitter. 

He wrote, “#Sanju is SUPER-STRONG… [Week 4] Fri 1.28 cr, Sat 2.19 cr, Sun 3.28 cr. Total:  333.55 cr. India biz. ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER. #Sanju biz at a glance. Week 1:  202.51 cr. Week 2:  92.67 cr. Week 3:  31.62 cr. Weekend 4:  6.75 cr. Total:  333.55 cr India biz.”

The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta while giving a positive review of the film said, “Once you’ve made your peace with the Sanjay we get, and there was no way of getting any other in a Hirani movie, you can sit down and enjoy the film. I had a blast all the way till the half-way mark. Ranbir Kapoor is wholly believable as Sanjay-Sanju, channeling not just his (Dutt’s) distinctive body language and ‘lehja’, but his internal confusion."

She also went on to say that Paresh Rawal essayed the role of Sunil Dutt with exemplary restraint and matched Ranbir step for step, even striding ahead in places.

However, Manisha Koirala, as Nargis, makes one wish there was more of her. 

Shubhra also said, "Jim Sarbh, as the guy-with-the-bad-influence, is very fine and dandy, and Vicky Kaushal as Sanjay’s faithful New York-based Gujju friend who teaches him life lessons, is absolutely terrific. And Hirani is in top form, getting all his reel characters to riff off the real characters, in the pursuit of a solid, entertaining tale.”

Sanju’s next achievement would be overtaking Tiger Zinda Hai whose lifetime box office collection is Rs 339.16 crore and PK Rs 340.8 crore to become the second highest grossing Hindi film of all time after Dangal.
