However, Sanju is only going from strength to strength.

Sanju has already collected Rs 186.41 crores in just a week and will continue to rake in the moolah in the days to come. The way the film is currently running at the box office it looks like it will soon break the box office records set by Aamir Khan’s Dangal and SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Conclusion.

Ranbir’s acting is being lauded by one and all and the way he has mirrored Sanjay Dutt and brought him to life is the USP of the film. Ranbir’s acting has been hailed by most film critics but there has been one section of journalists who have not liked the way the film was treated as they felt that it was a PR exercise to cleanse Sanjay’s image and this is not how a biopic should have been made. Nevertheless, the film is going great guns at the box office and the audience is liking it.
