Achieving a big win at the box office on the opening Friday, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior showed strong growth and full house well into the second day too. The film witnessed 'remarkable' numbers in metros & mass belts at the box-office. The film is expected to record a solid weekend collection. Based on the life of brave warrior, Tanaji Malusare, the film has impressed both reviewers and viewers nationwide.

While Tanhaji collected Rs. 20.57 crore, Chhapaak earned Rs 6.90 crore, taking the total collection to Rs 35.67 crore and Rs 11.67 crore respectively.

Tanhaji, directed by Om Raut, narrates the story of a warrior that audiences from all age groups can seamlessly connect. Coupled with authentic war strategy, it is an emotional journey for everyone who watches the movie. Tanhaji also stars Kajol, Saif Ali Khan, Neha Sharma and Sharad Kelkar, among others. Meanwhile, Meghna Gulzar's 'Chhapaak' presents the story of an acid attack survivor and activist Laxmi Agarwal. The movie also stars Vikrant Massey.
