Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior Vs Chhapaak BO Day 1 Estimates: Ajay gets a good kickstart, Deepika's film suffers

Right now, the latest Bollywood release, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior and Chhapaak are the most talked about films as they clash at the box office. The box office numbers seem to be out already and they seem to favourite Tanhaji by a decent margin in comparison to Chhapaak. With a greater box office occupancy, the Ajay Devgn, Kajol, and Saif Ali Khan starrer, Tanhaji has managed to do well as far as the day 1 collection is concerned in the 16 crore nett range as per the estimates. The movie has witnessed a good collection in the states of Maharashtra and Rajasthan, while the numbers have been decent in North and East India. The South, however, has Rajinikanth's Darbar, and hence, the growth there remains debatable but the Saturday numbers are likely to witness growth except.

Moving on to Chhapaak, it looks like all the buzz around the Deepika Padukone starrer failed to transpire into numbers going by the day 1 collection estimates. The movie was expected to touch a 6 crore nett on day 1 collection estimates, however, it lay flat at 4.75 crore nett, and while the movie is likely to witness a growth on Saturday, it cannot be expected to be a huge jump looking at the Friday numbers. The movie has been declared tax free in states like Chhatisgrah and Madhya Pradesh, however, that does not seem to have had a great impact on an overall day 1 collections.
