Mumbai, July 15 - The box office record of all-time blockbuster "Sairat" might be in danger as the latest Marathi sensation "Baipan Bhari Deva" is taking giant steps at the box office. ## "Baipan Bhari Deva" has become the 3rd highest-grossing Marathi movie of all time, and crossed the 50 crores gross mark on its 16th day. On its 17th day, the comedy-drama movie grossed an estimated 7 crores, which takes the total collection to over 60 crores (51 crores net).## The third-weekend collection of "Baipan Bhaari Deva" is looking to be on par with the second-weekend collection. By the next weekend, it will cross Riteish Deshmukh's "Ved" (73 crores gross) to become the second biggest Marathi movie of all time. ## It is quite historic that the second-week collection (29.60 crores gross) of BBD scored a growth of over 100% over the first-week collection (14.70 crores gross). The movie is expected to repeat the second week's collection in the ongoing third week, and this makes it the serious contender to surpass the "Sairat" lifetime collection in the long run. ## "Sairat", the only Marathi movie to date to cross the prestigious 100 crores gross mark, is directed by Nagraj Manjule. The total collection of the movie is around 110 crores at the worldwide box office which should be the target of "Baipan Bhari Deva" by the time it finishes its run. ## Stay tuned...
