The film, based on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's trusted lieutenant Tanaji Malusare - a legendary military leader who played a pivotal role in capturing the Kondana Fort (now known as Sinhagad Fort) located near Pune, has grossed over Rs 202.38 crores at the Box Office since its release. It was declared tax-free in Maharashtra by the Shiv Sena-led government just a few days back. 

And, while the film is taking Box Office by storm, the historical drama sparked controversy as the residents of Maharashtra's Godoli village, where Maratha soldier Tanaji Malusare is claimed to have been born, are unhappy over the place not finding a mention in Ajay Devgn's film Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.
