Affordable housing is picking up pace, thanks to proactive policies and savvy investors/developers. But sustaining the momentum is a tall order.

Nevertheless, with the weekend already here, Sanju has yet another chance to set the cash registers ringing.

Sanju's collections point towards a growing trend in Bollywood movies. In the past ten years or so, most of the big releases have gone on to create box office records.

Rajkumar Hirani and Vicky Kaushal, will be screening Sanju in Australia as part of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) next month.

Sanju earned first Rs 50 crore in just two days, Rs 100 crore in three days, Rs 150 crore in five days and Rs 200 crore in just a week.

Sanju made Rs 62.97 crore on its second weekend, with Rs 28.05 crore on Sunday. At the end of the second weekend, Sanju had already made Rs 265.48 crore.

Not only has Ranbir Kapoor, who was in need of a hit, delivered a blockbuster this time around, his performance in Sanju is also being touted as his career-best till now.

Rajkumar Hirani-directed Sanju revolves around the turbulent life of Sanjay Dutt. The movie was well received by the film critics who showered praises with most ratings well above four. However, some critics have called it an attempt by Hirani to whitewash Sanjay Dutt's actions.

Market analysts have pinned their hopes on Sanju to emerge as the biggest blockbuster of the year.

Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani's latest offering 'Sanju' has already broken records since its release last week having been the fastest to reach the RS 200 cr mark. BusinessToday.In takes a look at the veteran filmmaker's last five movies and how they managed to rake in crores.

The parameters of movie business have undergone a paradigm shift. It is no more how much was earned, it is now more about how fast that amount was earned. 

Not only did Hirani become a familiar name after the release of Munna Bhai MBBS, he single-handedly breathed life into Sanjay Dutt's career that was on a downward spiral.

Sanju continued its epic run on Monday and Tuesday with Rs 25.35 crore and Rs 22.10 crore.

Sanju is also believed to be the best film of actor Ranbir Kapoor's career so far, making the film the biggest opener of his decade-long career. Though it is too early to say that Sanju could become the highest grosser of Bollywood, the film could emerge as a winner if it continues to fare well in the coming week.

From recording the highest single day earning for a Hindi film, to receiving the highest weekend opening in 2018, Sanju has managed to enthrall audiences and critics alike

Even in Australia, Sanju is making waves by overtaking the opening weekend collections of blockbuster hits like Dangal, Baahubali 2, PK, Sultan, Tiger Zinda Hai and Dhoom 3.

Sanju's box office collection has surpassed that of Deepika Padukone's Padmaavat, Salman Khan's latest movie, Race 3, Baaghi 2 and Raid.

Before Sanju, Race 3 had the highest opening record this year with net collection of Rs 27.50 crore in Hindi film. And in non-Hindi segment, Avengers Infinity War posted the highest opening with Rs 31 crore. Sanju decimated these records to emerge as the biggest opener of 2018 in India.

As his latest offering, Sanju, Sanjay Dutt's biopic, releases today, critics are unanimously praising Ranbir Kapoor's performance again.
