Tanhaji box office collection Day 23: Ajay Devgn-starrer inches closer to the Rs 250-crore mark

The Ajay Devgn starrer Tanhaji-The Unsung Warrior is set to breach the Rs 250-crore mark. The Ajay Devgn-Kajol film has raked in a total of Rs 245.12 crore so far.

According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the epic drama based on the capturing of the Kondhana fort earned Rs 2.77 crore on Friday and Rs 4.48 crore on Saturday at the ticket window.

Film critic and trade analyst Sumit Kadel also took to Twitter to state that Tanhaji was one of the biggest blockbusters both in terms of collection and footfall. Kadel also went onto say that the Ajay Devgn-Kajol film is only next to the South blockbuster film Bahubali 2.

#Tanhaji refuses to slow down... Continues to attract substantial footfalls in *Week 4*... A rarity in today's times, when *most* movies feel exhausted after 2 weeks... Will cross 250 cr today [Sun]... [Week 4] Fri 2.77 cr, Sat 4.48 cr. Total: 245.12 cr. #India biz.

Adarsh also stated in one of his tweets that Tanhaji is set to emerge as the highest-grossing Hindi film of January 2020. It has already left the Vicky Kaushal-starrer war film Uri: The Surgical Strike far behind in terms of box office collections. Tanhaji has reportedly left the Shahid Kapoor starrer Kabir Singh behind as well. The business of the Devgn-starrer historical remained unaffected even when the protests against CAA-NRC were at their peak.

#Tanhaji will emerge 12th highest grossing #Hindi film today [Sun]... 1. #Baahubali2 [#Hindi], 2. #Dangal, 3. #Sanju, 4. #PK, 5. #TigerZindaHai, 6. #BajrangiBhaijaan, 7. #War, 8. #Padmaavat, 9. #Sultan, 10. #Dhoom3, 11. #KabirSingh... #Uri moves to 13th position. #India biz.
