The much-anticipated Sanjay Dutt biopic 'Sanju' has broken some records on the very first day.

The Ranbir Kapoor-starrer, which has minted Rs. 34.75 cr on Friday, has dethroned Salman Khan's 'Race 3' to become the biggest opener of 2018.

Moreover, it has become the 'Brahmastra' star's biggest-opener till date.

Film critic Taran Adarsh said the movie is expected to enter the 100-crore club within three days.

"Non-holiday... Non-festival release... Yet, #Sanju packs a PHENOMENAL TOTAL on Day 1... Emerges the BIGGEST OPENER of 2018 [so far]... Also, Ranbir's HIGHEST OPENER to date... Expected to cross Rs. 100 cr in 3 days, as per trends... Fri Rs. 34.75 cr. India biz.," tweeted Adarsh.

Written and directed by Rajkumar Hirani, 'Sanju' stars Ranbir as Sanjay Dutt, with Manisha Koirala, Paresh Rawal, Dia Mirza, Sonam Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Jim Sarbh and Anushka Sharma playing pivotal roles.
