The Mahendra Singh Dhoni biopic, titled MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, is nearing the end of its Box Office run.
As of 17 October, the collections of the film stand at Rs 127 crore. The film is likely to end its lifetime numbers at collections of Rs 135 crore.
The Sushant Singh Rajput film recorded the second biggest opening weekend of the year (Rs 66 crore) after Salman Khan's Sultan. However, the curiosity factor was put to rest on Monday, a fact which reflected in the collections.
