Sanju now stands tall with a whopping collection of approximately ₹ 234.crore. Today is Sunday and the film is expected to jump further all across the country. It will easily mint around ₹ 22-25 crores today, which means its entry in the coveted ₹ 250 crore club is guaranteed

What remains to be seen is whether or not it will manage to rise to ₹ 300 within its second week. However, looking at the robust performance of the flick, the journey does not seem impossible.
