Tanhaji: The Unsung Hero box office collection day 3: Ajay Devgn and Saif Ali Khan starrer Tanhaji: The Unsung Hero has set the box office on fire! The film has completed a heroic opening weekend by raking in Rs 61.75 crore, giving us the first big release of 2020. The footfalls, occupancy and numbers of the film multiplied on Sunday where the film managed to mint around Rs 26.08 crore.

"#Tanhaji has a heroic weekend... Footfalls, occupancy, numbers multiply on Day 2 and 3... Sets BO on fire on Day 3... #Maharashtra is exceptional...

Tanhaji also continues the impressive run of Bollywood films on non-holidays. Last year, Uri: The Surgical Strike had released on January 11 - a non-holiday and turned out to be one of the biggest releases of the year. Simmba in 2018 and Good Newwz in the last week of December were also non-holiday releases.

The film has released alongside Deepika Padukone's Chhappak. The latter has had a decent opening but the numbers are not great.

"#Chhapaak sees day-wise growth, but the weekend trending is good, not great... Collects well at premium multiplexes of urban sectors mainly... Needs to trend well on weekdays for a healthy Week 1 total... Fri 4.77 cr, Sat 6.90 cr, Sun 7.35 cr. Total: ₹ 19.02 cr. #India biz," Adarsh tweeted.

Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar's Good Newwz continues to mint money at the box office and is inching towards the Rs 200 crore mark. The film earned Rs 3.60 crore on its third Sunday despite reduction of screen space and multiple new releases.
