The Pakistani film has also surpassed ‘Sanju,’ the Bollywood blockbuster that literally blew up the Pakistani box office, earning Rs. 186.5 million in its first week of release. The Ranbir Kapoor starrer was 2018’s most successful Bollywood film, not just in Pakistan but also in the global realm, earning Indian Rs. 579 crore. The Sanjay Dutt biopic became one of the most highest-grossing Indian films of all time too.
