The film released along with Deepika Padukone's 'Chhapaak', which, despite earning rave reviews, failed to woo the cine-goers. 

This Friday, the aforementioned films 'Street Dancer 3D' and 'Panga' hit the screens. While Shraddha Kapoor and Varun Dhawan's 'Street Dancer 3D' has scored Rs 45.88 crore so far, Kangana Ranaut's 'Panga' is currently at Rs 16.56 crore.

Directed by Om Raut, 'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior' is based on Tanhaji Malusare, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's commander. Ajay stars as Tanhaji Malusare, Kajol plays his wife Savitribai Malusare while Saif plays the antagonist Uday Bhan, a Rajput official, who works for Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.
