The collection showed that the movie is still finding interest from the moviegoers. With Maharashtra reported to have contributed major chunk of the collections, it seems people are still keen to watch the story of the 17th century Kondhana Fort war between Tanaji Malusare and Uday Bhan, based in their state. 

Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior is Ajay Devgn’s biggest hit of all-time. The movie also stars Saif Ali Khan, Kajol, Neha Sharma, Sharad Kelkar, among others. Recently, Rishi Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan had praised the film.
