Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior has triumphed over several box-office releases this year. This Ajay Devgn starrer and produced film is still running successfully at the theatres while several other big-budgeted movies failed to impress the audience. Take a look at these movies that failed to leave a mark at box-office unlike Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.
Tanhaji vs other BO releases in Jan/Feb
1. Chhapaak
Chhapaak and Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior released on the same day. Chhapaak was Deepika Padukone’s first film as a maiden gig as a producer. But Tanhaji box office collections are proof that it was audience’s first choice over Deepika Padukone's acid attack survivor story. Tanhaji has collected approximately ₹275 crores till now and is expected to continue its successful run whereas Deepika’s Chhapaak had a life-time collection of only ₹28.38 crore.
#Chhapaak disappoints... Lacklustre trending in Week 1... Partial holidays [Tue and Wed] helped marginally... Will find the going tough in Week 2... Fri 4.77 cr, Sat 6.90 cr, Sun 7.35 cr, Mon 2.35 cr, Tue 2.55 cr, Wed 2.61 cr, Thu 1.85 cr. Total: ₹ 28.38 cr. #India biz.

2. Jawaani Jaaneman
Ajay Devgn’s co-star Saif Ali Khan’s second movie of 2020, Jawaani Jaaneman released on February 7, 2020. But Tanhaji reviews were much more stellar than this Tabu and Saif starrer film. As mentioned earlier, Tanhaji is still running successfully at the box-office whereas Jawaani Jaaneman’s total collections were only ₹20.21 crores.
#JawaaniJaaneman has low Week 1... Biz was lopsided: Good at select metros. Weak in mass belt... Needs to maintain the pace [metros] in Weekend 2... Fri 3.24 cr, Sat 4.55 cr, Sun 5.04 cr, Mon 2.03 cr, Tue 1.94 cr, Wed 1.86 cr, Thu 1.55 cr. Total: ₹ 20.21 cr. #India biz.

3. Love Aaj Kal
Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal was one of the highly anticipated releases of 2020. The film starred the rumoured couple Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan. But the movie failed to impress the audience and hence could only collect ₹27.86 crores.
#LoveAajKal is rejected... Dips on Day 2, falls flat on Day 3... Advantage #ValentinesDay [Day 1], else *3-day total* would be lower... Tough road ahead [weekdays]... Fri 12.40 cr, Sat 8.01 cr, Sun 8.10 cr. Total: ₹ 28.51 cr. #India biz. #LoveAajKal [2009] weekend: ₹ 27.86 cr.

4. Street Dancer 3D
Street Dancer 3D starred the ABCD 2 pair Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor and was directed by Remo D’Souza. But even though the film boasted a star-studded cast, it failed to leave a mark at the box-office. On the other hand, Tanhaji's box office collections are proof of its success.
#Malang hits ₹ 50 cr... Third film to cross ₹ 50 cr mark in 2020, after #Tanhaji [nearing ₹ 275 cr] and #StreetDancer3D [nearing ₹ 75 cr]... [Week 2] Fri 2.25 cr, Sat 2.52 cr, Sun 3.25 cr, Mon 1.53 cr, Tue 1.49 cr. Total: ₹ 50.69 cr. #India biz.

5. Malang
Mohit Suri’s Malang was also expected to give tough competition to other films at the box-office. But this Anil Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur could only collect ₹56.46 crores approximately. These collections were nowhere close to Tanhaji's box office collections.
#Malang hits ₹ 50 cr... Third film to cross ₹ 50 cr mark in 2020, after #Tanhaji [nearing ₹ 275 cr] and #StreetDancer3D [nearing ₹ 75 cr]... [Week 2] Fri 2.25 cr, Sat 2.52 cr, Sun 3.25 cr, Mon 1.53 cr, Tue 1.49 cr. Total: ₹ 50.69 cr. #India biz.
