Tanhaji, which opened to mixed reviews on Friday, has raked in an impressive sum of over Rs 20 crore on Saturday, pushing the total amount to Rs 35.67 crore. Taran Adarsh said Tanhaji witnessed excellent footfalls not only in metro cities but also in single screens and multiplex theatres otherwise. Collections from theatres across Maharashtra contributed majorly to the numbers. Here's what Mr Adarsh tweeted: "Tanhaji roars on Day 2... Metros and mass belt, multiplexes and single screens, Tanhaji is simply remarkable... Maharashtra is record-smashing... Other circuits - decent on Day 1 - join the celebrations on Day 2...

Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior brings alive a page from Maratha history on the big screen. Ajay Devgn plays the titular "unsung warrior" Tanaji Malusare - Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji's general - and Kajol has been cast as his feisty wife Savitribai Malusare.
Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior clashed with Deepika Padukone's Chhapaak on Friday, which has scored Rs 11 crore in two days. Rajinikanth's cop drama Darbar also released on Thursday.
