The film crossed the lifetime collections of Aamir Khan's 'PK' and Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer 'Tiger Zinda Hai' to become the all-time second-highest grosser after a glorious 38-day run in the cinemas. While 'PK' collected Rs 340.80 crore, 'Ek Tha Tiger' had earned Rs 339.16 in its theatrical run. 

The worldwide collection of 'Sanju' stands with net collection of Rs 570 crore.

Ranbir plays the titular role of superstar Sanjay Dutt. Fondly called as 'Sanju' or 'Baba', Sanjay has had many ups and downs in his personal and professional life which has been presented in the 70 mm format before the audiences. Performances of each and every actor in the film has been hailed.

'Sanju' has an ensemble star cast with the likes of Ranbir playing the titular role of Dutt. It stars Sonam Kapoor, Dia Mirza, Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala, Anushka Sharma, Karishma Tanna, Jim Sarbh to name a few.

Ranbir's hard work and massive transformation to look like the real-life Dutt has finally paid off. The positive response and good word of mouth publicity helped the film do even better. The film hit the screens on June 29, 2018.

Not to forget that 'Sanju' has come as a big respite for Ranbir, who has had a string of flops since 2013. His 2016 release 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' too didn't do much for him. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani and produced by Vidhu Vindo Chopra, 'Sanju' has become Ranbir's most successful release till date.
