There is only no halting Ajay Devgn's Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior at the box office and fuelling its growth in Maharashtra. The tale of Maratha legend Tanhaji Malusare earned an expected Rs 15.5 crore at the ticket windows on its second Saturday to post an aggregate of Rs 141 crore in nine days, according to Box Office India. Deepika Padukone starrer Chhapaak, a hard-hitting story of an acid attack survivor, is by all accounts easing back down following nine days at the box office.

The film is relied upon to procure over Rs 200 crore, something trade expert Taran Adarsh hinted on Saturday. "Tanhaji emerges a big favourite of moviegoers… Maintains a strong grip on [second] Fri… Strong chance of hitting ₹ 200 cr, if it maintains the rhythm… #Maharashtra record run continues… Big growth on the cards… [Week 2] Fri 10.06 cr. Total: ₹ 128.97 cr. #India biz." If this occurs, the film is required to become Ajay Devgn's greatest hit ever, eclipsing Golmaal Returns that checked in Rs 205 crore.

The film indicated development of 60% on Saturday and rose as the second-highest earner in Maharashtra after Bahubali: The Conclusion. Be that as it may, the Ajay Devgn-Saif Ali Khan go head to head has not figured out how to enthuse audiences in the north and West Bengal.

After the film crossed Rs 100 crore, Ajay had taken to Twitter to thank his fans for supporting the film. In his post, the actor stated,  "Thanks to each and everyone for making this happen! I'm humbled & grateful for all the love, support & appreciation for #TanhajiTheUnsungWarrior."

Meghna Gulzar's Chhapaak, in the interim, has dipped. As on Friday, the film made an aggregate of Rs 26.5 crore at the box office, with Rs 75 lakh going ahead the day itself. According to Box Office India, the widely praised film is required to procure about Rs 30 crore in its lifetime.
