A
lot
of
Bollywood
films
raked
in
big
moolah
at
the
box
office
last
year.
But,
filmmaker
Rajkumar
Hirani
once
again
proved
that
he
is
a
man
with
the
Midas
touch.
His
film
'Sanju'
based
on
the
life
of
Bollywood
actor
Sanjay
Dutt
turned
out
to
be
the
highest
grosser
of
2018.
The
Ranbir
Kapoor
starrer
has
collected
342
crores
net
and
approximately
586.85
crores
gross
worldwide.The
biggest
hit
of
2018,
Sanju
is
an
entertaining
and
emotional
retelling
of
Sanjay
Dutt's
tumultuous
life
which
was
presented
beautifully
by
ace
filmmaker
Rajkumar
Hirani
on
the
celluloid.
Sanju
had
emerged
not
only
the
biggest
non-Holiday
opener
of
all
time
but
also
recorded
the
biggest
opening
weekend
of
all
time
in
Bollywood
as
it
minted
Rs.
120.
06
crores.
Both
the
records
were
previously
held
by
Salman
Khan-starrer
Tiger
Zinda
Hai
which
released
during
the
Christmas
weekend
in
2017.
Rajkumar
Hirani
is
well
known
to
be
a
life
changer
in
many
ways.
His
talent
for
emotional
manipulation
made
viewers
reflect
on
the
need
for
empathy
and
humanity
in
modern
medicine
(Munnabhai
M.B.B.S.,
2003),
a
film
which
brought
back
Sanjay
Dutt
as
an
actor.
With
Sanju's
worldwide
release
and
a
phenomenal
opening
had
again
proved
to
be
a
career-saving
game
for
Ranbir
Kapoor.
Speaking
about
the
success
of
Sanju,
Rajkumar
Hirani
had
earlier
said," I
am
thankful
to
the
viewers
who've
embraced
the
film
and
made
it
their
own.
All
I
can
say
is
that
I
feel
blessed.
There
is
no
mantra.
You
just
have
to
make
a
film
and
hope
that
people
like
it.
At
this
moment,
I
can
only
be
thankful
to
the
viewers
who
have
embraced
the
film
and
made
it
their
own,
because
before
the
release
of
the
movie,
we
all
were
nervous.
It
was
an
exam-like
feeling.
When
a
filmmaker
makes
a
film,
he
wants
that
the
audience
likes
it.
I
was
waiting
for
reactions
and
now
I
feel
very
good
that
people
have
made
it
their
own."
With
every
film
having
a
100
percent
success
rate,
Rajkumar
Hirani
remains
one
of
the
best
profitable
directors
of
Bollywood.
