"Honoured to spend an evening with the three Chiefs. Thank you all for the love given to Tanhaji," Ajay tweeted.

The screening was held in Delhi on Sunday evening. Harinder Sikka, author of "Calling Sehmat" on which "Raazi" was based, was also present.

Don't miss it friends. It's out of this world."

In a separate tweet, Sikka: "It was my privilege to be part of Military tribute to great Indian warrior #Tanaji. Present on stage were Chief of Army, Navy & Air Staffs along with serving & retd military officers. Film should become a folklore. @ajaydevgn @itsBhushanKumar, @itsKajolD."

"Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior" is creating a storm at the box office. The movie, which hit theatres on January 10, has collected over Rs 150 crores within just 10 days of release, and the buzz is it could end up as the biggest hit in Ajay Devgn's career.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted the film's domestic collections after its second weekend: "#Tanhaji has a smashing Weekend 2... Returns to top form on (second) Sat and Sun... #Blockbuster in #Maharashtra... Should cross 200 cr in Week 3... Will be first double century of 2020...
