Despite Sanju Being Leaked Online, The Ranbir Kapoor Starrer Proved That Content Is King!

Ranbir Kapoor' Sanju was leaked online on the very first day of its release and despite that, the movie collected Rs 200 Crore at the box office in its first week and thus proved that content is king.

Whenever a movie is leaked online during its release, the concerned movie ends up crashing at the box office or comes to a slow halt after a few days as people rely on the pirated copy than spend money watching it in the theatres. Even Ranbir Kapoor starrer Sanju was leaked online on the very first day of its release and just when you thought that it might hamper the box office collections, the reverse happened! The movie ended up collecting close to Rs 120 Crore in its first weekend and made above Rs 200 Crore in the first week itself. So how did this happen?

When every other movie crashed due to piracy, Sanju stood as tall as a rock and plundered the box office as the days passed. Sanju's success goes on to prove that the Indian audience is hungry for good concent and don't mind spending their money on good quality movies. The audience is bored, done and dusted with the same old category of 'love and romance' which has been tried and tested for decades and Rajkumar Hirani gave them something new on a silver platter. The audience didn't really care if the movie leaked online and still went to the theares, as they 100 per cent knew that Sanju will do justice and entertain them for 3 hours. Sanju proved once again that content is king and nothing can stop a good movie if the content is right!
