The high-profile historical drama, which features Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan and Kajol in principal characters, has zoomed past the much-coveted ₹ 200 crore mark domestically, becoming the first two century-grossing title of 2020.

The total domestic box-office collection of the much-loved period drama currently stands at an impressive ₹ 202.83 crore. The film is set to become the highest grossing film of superstar Ajay Devgn’s storied movie career.
Sharing the latest collection of the film on Twitter, noted film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, "Tanhaji crosses ₹ 200 crore, shows no signs of fatigue...
