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.
Meanwhile Deepika Padukone's 'Chhapaak' even after witnessing an upward trend on Day 2, failed to connect with the audience beyond metro cities. Trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter handle to share the total collection. He further added that Meghna Gulzar's film 'needs to cover lost ground on Day 3.'
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.
