Meanwhile Deepika Padukone's 'Chhapaak' even after witnessing an upward trend on Day 2, failed to connect with the audience beyond metro cities. Trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter handle to share the total collection. He further added that Meghna Gulzar's film 'needs to cover lost ground on Day 3.'

While Tanhaji collected Rs. 20.57 crore, Chhapaak earned Rs 6.90 crore, taking the total collection to Rs 35.67 crore and Rs 11.67 crore respectively.

Tanhaji, directed by Om Raut, narrates the story of a warrior that audiences from all age groups can seamlessly connect. Coupled with authentic war strategy, it is an emotional journey for everyone who watches the movie. Tanhaji also stars Kajol, Saif Ali Khan, Neha Sharma and Sharad Kelkar, among others. Meanwhile, Meghna Gulzar's 'Chhapaak' presents the story of an acid attack survivor and activist Laxmi Agarwal. The movie also stars Vikrant Massey.
