Sanju broke the record of Salman Khan starrer Race 3 by the difference of Rs 6.25 crore. It was an unexpectedly easy win against Salman Khan movie for ‘Sanju’.  Before Sanju, Salman Starrer Race 3 became the biggest opener of 2018. The movie was directed by Remo D’Souza and was a part of Race franchise. The movie released during the Eid festival and had the benefit of a holiday weekend and beyond. This led to the rise in the box office collection of the movie. The movie started well and earned Rs 103 crore in the first weekend. Not only the holiday weekend but also the stardom of Salman Khan helped it earn this big amount in a short time.

Sanju has performed fantastically at the box office in two days. The rich content, flawless acting and perfect direction have led to the big success of ’Sanju’. The release of the movie had no holiday weekends and yet it still managed to break the records of Salman’s Race 3.
