Bhaag Milkha Bhaag which released way back in 2013 bought to light the struggles of Olympic track runner Milkha Singh. The movie went on to collect 103.5 crores which is above average considering it was 2013. Akshay Kumar opened up social dialogue in the society with his film Padman which amassed a decent 78.95 crores. Sonam Kapoor beautifully portrayed Neerja Bhanot who saved many lives in a flight which was hijacked by terrorists. Packed with powerful performances the film earned a respectable 75.61 crores.
We are not mentioning Padmaavat because it was not your run-of-the-mill biopic and had much of grandeur attached to it.
With the hype around the movie and Ranbir Kapoor’s fan following, Sanju may very well be on track to break records of majority of these films.
