The movie that also has Paresh Rawal, Vicky Kaushal, Manisha Koirala, Sonam Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in important roles is expected to make Rs 100 crore just after its first weekend. Well, there's no doubt in the saying that Sanju will surely prove as Ranbir Kapoor's comeback movie on the screens since his past few movies weren't great.
Sanju has not only collected this huge amount on the first day but has also become the highest opener of the year defeating Salman Khan starre Race 3 that collected Rs 29.17 crore and Hollywood movie Avengers: Infinity War that collected Rs 31.30 crore on day one in India.
It is also being said that the movie has already broken Salman Khan's starrer Race 3 collections. Ranbir in the movie has played the role of Sanjay Dutt with sheer dedication and has truly given his best performance till date. Now it will be exciting to see how much the movie collects but we are sure that it will surely bag all the crucial awards seeing the excellent performance of the stars in the film.
