Sanju box office collection: Ranbir Kapoor starrer movie opened at the box office with a bang. But the year 2018 started with the release of Padmaavat, storming the box office. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed film made buzz at the box office despite opposition from various groups. As the year reaches its halfway mark, Sanju tops the chart and is followed by Padmaavat and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, according to Bollywood Hungama.

Sanju has dominated the domestic box office records, while the Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor starrer Padmaavat stands at second position. However, the Padmaavat broke most of the overseas business records.

Notably, Luv Ranjan directorial Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety emerged as the sleeper hit of the year. Sanju is a star-studded film, featuring actors like Paresh Rawal as Sunil Dutt, Sanju's father; Vicky Kaushal as Kamlesh Kamli Kanhaiyalal Kapasi; Manisha Koirala as Nargis, Sanju's mother; Dia Mirza as Manyata Dutt, Sanju's wife; Sonam Kapoor as Ruby, Sanju's girlfriend and Anushka Sharma as Winnie Dias, a biographer.
