Sanju Has Huge First Day
Saturday 16 June 2018 10.00 IST
Box Office India Trade Network

Sanju had a huge first day recording the sixth highest opening day of all time and the third highest non holiday of all time in terms of NETT collections. The film has collected a huge 34 crore nett apprx on day one and this is after an excellent start but not a bumper one. The morning looked a 29-30 crore start but it has pushed through the day and when doing that at these levels it means a huge box office run.

The film made ground through the day outside the metros to record very good collections at the end of the day and this is a huge plus for the weekend as the upward momentum could continue on Saturday and Sunday.

The multiplex collections are simply phenomenal and it looks the film has the highest ever collections on day one at all India multiplexes outside Bahubali - The Conclusion. Mumbai city, Delhi city and Bangalore are all first day records outside Bahubali - The Conclusion.


The collections are also the highest ever for the social drama easily beating Dangal released a couple of years back. It is ahead in NETT and also GROSS collections which actually is the real test when it comes to beating records now. That film was also not a bumper opening but made ground on the day to record a big number and this is ditto but with higher collections.

In GROSS terms the first day will be a bit lower at number at 7th or 8th place due to the tax changes but that is still a huge achievement. The collections are now the highest ever for a non Khan film with only Salman Khan (Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Sultan, Tiger Zinda Hai is similar) and Shahrukh Khan (Happy New Year) having higher collections and of course there is Bahubali - The Conclusion.

The film should have growth over the weekend although the main multiplexes will find it tough to get major growth as the have very high occupancy but other places which started lesser and made ground on Friday could give the film solid growth over the weekend and push it well over the 100 crore nett mark for the weekend. If the main multiplexes do get capacity problems then its safe to say the weekdays will go crazy.

ok watched it last night...
first let me say i DISLIKE sanjay dutt to the core as an actor...all his career is full of movies that defines over the top masculinity like kaante, musafir, vaastav etc. he knows how to act but he hardly played any soft, vulnerable characters in his span. all he wanted to show his larger than life 'MACHO' image which i can never relate it. A man is a man and for a man to be a great actor, you need to play various roles and be versatile which sanjay dutt could never do..

but when I came to know 3 yrs back that Ranbir is chosen to play his bio. I was excited and I knew that i want to watch this film. I have seen the most trashiest film of ranbir's career which was anjaana anjaani n believe me if he can make a fan out of u from that film. he can do anything.

I watched Sanju and it came exactly how i expected..its an entertainer don't expect it to be an unconventional art type fair rolled in commercial aspects. hirani knows what he is doing. At the end, he has to make a film that satisfies the audience. the only thing is that the film has been hyped in a wrong way. the film doesn't have the controversial elements in dutt's life. its basically abt three ppl - ranbir, vicky and paresh sahab

Ranbir as expectedly stole the show and vicky was a surprise package. in some scenes he actually shines brighter than Ranbir. he is a talent to watch out for. Paresh Sahab is brilliant and so touching as a father however i do believe that his resemblance to sunil dutt is not as perfect as Ranbir's but leave that, as a father he is perfect.

manisha dazzles in the role and is the best female performer. Sonam kapoor is getting so praises but hers is only a cameo and not a full fledged role. she is just passable. other actors r just ok.

all in all...a movie can not glorify dutt's image. it will remain controversial enough for his whole life. you would be dumb to expect anything else from hirani who is his friend. leaving this aside, watch it just as another movie and believe me..this would make your day

4.5/5

I am guessing the film and Ranbir-Hirani's act has found genuine appreciation and might just sustain the momentum beyond.

This year could be a year of real change for Bollywood. Padmavat, Baaghi 2, Avengers: Infinity Wars, Raazi, Veerey Di Wedding and now Sanju

Just came back from watching it, and I reallly loved it. Ranbir did such a phenomenal job playing Sanju. At first it was a little awkward for me, but then you really get into it and Ranbir just sucks you in. My fave was when he was showing his drug-riddled days. Those scenes with him being high were sooo well enacted and really showed the impact of drug addiction as well as what withdrawal/how difficult quitting is. Ranbir nailed that part to the T.

The story telling was also very interesting to me and I really liked the way it was done. As opposed to being just full on story mode that starts at the beginning and ends at the end, I liked how it was done similar to chapters from a book. With back and forths from present to future.

I think the supporting cast did a good job. Paresh Rawal- SOOO GOOD!!!! I usually only imagine him as comedy. But he was great as Sunil Dutt. Vicky was awesome as per usual and hes really growing to be one of my faves in BW atm. I want to know who this friend was-not sure if they used his real name as the character name but very curious as to who he is IRL. Jim Sarbh was also really good. Sonam wasn't too bad either. I actually felt her sadness as being in love with such a difficult and screwed up man. Manisha was a treat to watch too!

Idk how much I believe everything in it. It seemed like it was made to basically clean up the whole 'terrorist' image. Played the whole, Ive done drugs, this is how bad i was on drugs, ive fooled around with chicksn and was a douche to girls, but I never was involved with the bombings etc etc. Even if he was, I doubt he would advertise it through the movie so idk.


One part I felt was missing was his first marriage and daughter. Idk if this was a conscious choice/maybe timing wise or what, but despite having an elder daughter- Trishala, it seems that SD has always focused on his two youngest. You see 0 mention of his older daughter, but there minimal scenes with the twins and a "happy family" image with him, Maanyata and the twins at the end. It breaks my hear to see his older daughter kinda being ignored. Adding his wife's death/first child's birth to see how that impacted him (or didnt?) would have been interesting. I wont lie, I was really hoping to see something about her since he almost never posts/talks about her.

Songs are ok- I LOVEEE kar haar maidan fateh. And the song at the end of the movie (wont spoil it) was good too. The rest were eh.
The movie itself made me cry a few times. Some of the emotions really hit hard.

Also fair warning- PRETTTY DAM LONG!
