It has also crossed the worldwide earnings of Lai Bhaari, which had collected around Rs 40 crore during its theatrical run.
The film also beat Pawankhind, which had finished its theatrical journey at Rs 45 crore. At present, the top three highest-grossing Marathi films remain Sairat (Rs 80.98 crore), Baipan Bhari Deva (Rs 76.28 crore), and Ved (Rs 61.20 crore).
