SANJU grossed 18.25 crore nett apprx on Wednesday which has taken the film to a total of 184.50 crore nett in six days. The film has seen drops of around 15% on Tuesday And Wednesday which is mainly because of the higher level of collections the film is showing.

If we compare with DANGAL then SANJU was a bit better on Monday with a 25 lakh nett lead, 75 lakhs nett behind on Tuesday and is 2.25 crore nett behind on Wednesday. This is the difference of a holiday period and normal period coming into play. If the film drops another 15% on Thursday then the film will have a 200 crore nett first week

The collections of SANJU for the first six days are as follows
Friday - 34,19,00,000
Saturday - 38,41,00,000 
Sunday - 46,73,00,000
Monday - 25,25,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 21,75,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 18,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,84,58,00,000 apprx

SANJU grossed a huge 21.25-21.50 crore nett on Tuesday taking its five day total to 166 crore nett appx. The drop was around 15% from the previous day with Mumbai being hit by the rains on Tuesday. The first week collections are heading 200 crore nett plus and could be near 204 crore nett depending on the next two days.

The business is fantastic all over with Gujarat/Saurashtra being the under performer of the major areas though collections are steady since Monday. The collections in the three main circuits of Mumbai, Delhi/UP and East Punjab are extraordinary and Mumbai will be an all time record outside BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and this is despite Gujarat being a little below par.

The collections of SANJU for the first five days are as follows
Friday - 34,19,00,000
Saturday - 38,41,00,000 
Sunday - 46,73,00,000
Monday - 25,25,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 21,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,66,08,00,000 apprx

The second Friday is very important as at the moment the film has the potential to do a 100 crore nett second week but at these levels all it takes is one noticeable drop and the expectations come down.

SANJU had an excellent hold on Monday dropping just 27% from Friday as it collected 25-25.50 crore nett apprx. This takes the four day total to a huge 144.50 crore nett and the 200 crore nett mark will be crossed in seven days. The highest first week outside BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION is SULTAN at 209 crore nett and that could be beaten by SANJU.

The multiplex ticket rates were dropped from weekend rates which should mean the major drop is baked into the film on Monday and the weekdays should hold very strong from here on. The ticket rates are still at higher level than the normal weekday rate but not at weekend rates.

The collections of SANJU for the first weekend are as follows
Friday - 34,19,00,000
Saturday - 38,41,00,000 
Sunday - 46,73,00,000
Monday - 25,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,44,58,00,000 apprx

The film has chances to beat DANGAL and become the highest grosser for the Hindi film industry. BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION is the highest grosser ever but that is out of the equation.

DANGAL had a similar Monday but its was a Christmas release and  had a open run for many weeks. SANJU is a non holiday release but the run is pretty clear with no real big releases. There are a few films but no big star cast film till GOLD in mid August. So SANJU is sure to stay in theatres till then with good screenings.

The second Friday will give an idea as to where this huge BLOCKBUSTER is going.

SANJU has created history in the first weekend with the highest first weekend collections of all time for a outright Hindi film. The film collected a huge 45.50 crore nett apprx and the final numbers could make it the highest day in history for an outright Hindi film. This is without BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION.

The film beat Tiger Zinda Hai which which grossed a little under 115 crore nett in the first weekend. If we exclude BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION, this is the first time that a non Khan film has held the weekend record since 2008 when the Akshay Kumar starrer SINGH IS KINNG set a record for the first weekend. That film became the first film to cross 25 crore nett and in ten years collections have gone up almost five fold.

The collections of SANJU for the first weekend are as follows
Friday - 34,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 38,25,00,000 apprx.
Sunday - 45,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 1,17,75,00,000 apprx

The trend is fantastic in most parts of the country which will mean a good hold on Monday. The only thing is multiplex ticket rates are coming down and most of the biggest films have usually kept rates at weekend levels especially the ones with good word of mouth like this.

The film will be the biggest HIT of the year and possibly a HISTORIC grosser but keeping tickets at weekend rates would have helped that cause as its about getting that little bit extra for every footfall.

SANJU had another huge day as it grossed an extraordinary 38.25-38.50 crore nett on its second day which takes its total to 72.50 crore nett apprx. The growth is a little under 15% but the places which did not start of to huge collections have shown growth and that the plus.

The Gujarat/Saurashtra belt is the one which is still on the lower side and today can take a big jump and if that happens the film could be on to create history as it will mean all the key areas on board. There are places like Assam and Odisha and Bihar which cant be called extraordinary but still they are very good for this type of film.

The film is being led by North India which is a first for a Rajkumar Hirani where its always Mumbai leading from the MUNNABHAI films to 3 IDIOTS to PK.

The collections of SANJU for the first two days are as follows
Friday - 34,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 38,25,00,000 apprx.
TOTAL - 72,25,00,000 apprx

There should be another leg upward but again it will not be huge growth as those major metro multiplexes do not much spare capacity to go higher and then there are Sunday night shows which are always low.

The growth will come from the mass side and single screens which should take it comfotably over 40 crore nett though a 45 crore nett total may be tougher. The films look set to be the biggest HIT of 2018 and bigger than PADMAAVAT though it will be Monday and second Friday which will confirm that.
