Rs 50 crore on third day

Rs 100 crore on day 6

Rs 125 crore on day 8

The film has already been made tax free in Haryana, UP and Maharashtra. While latest release Panga which has opened to good reviews racked up Rs 2.5 crore on first day itself, trade pundits say it was no match for the moolah collected by Ajay Devgn's Tanhaji on its third Friday.
