The historical drama Raja Shivaji, directed by and starring Riteish Deshmukh, continues to maintain a solid grip at the box office as it completes its sixth day in theaters. Released on the auspicious occasion of Maharashtra Day, the film has resonated deeply with audiences across the country, particularly in the Marathi-speaking regions. On its first Wednesday, the movie managed to stay steady despite the usual midweek dip that most films experience. Early reports suggest that the film collected approximately ₹4.25 crore on day six, which has successfully pushed its total domestic net collection past the ₹48 crore mark. This consistent performance brings the magnum opus inches away from the coveted ₹50 crore milestone, a feat that would solidify its position as one of the most successful Marathi productions in recent history.
The journey of Raja Shivaji at the box office has been marked by a record-breaking opening weekend and a strong hold over the weekdays. The film opened with a massive ₹11.35 crore on Friday and saw a surge during the weekend, collecting ₹12 crore on Sunday alone. Even as it transitioned into the workweek, the film recorded the highest-ever Monday for a Marathi film, earning ₹5.60 crore. The day six figures indicate that while the Hindi version is contributing a fair share, the Marathi version remains the primary driver of growth, boasting significantly higher occupancy rates in major cities like Pune and Mumbai. The film’s ability to compete with other major releases like Bhooth Bangla and Dhurandhar 2 further highlights its strong word-of-mouth and the emotional connection it has established with the viewers.
Beyond the numbers, the film has been praised for its grand scale and the performances of its ensemble cast, which includes Genelia D’Souza, Sanjay Dutt, and Abhishek Bachchan, along with a special appearance by Salman Khan. Riteish Deshmukh has expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming response, noting that the film’s success is not just about the box office but about how families are coming together to witness the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on the big screen. With the second weekend approaching, trade analysts predict that the film will not only cross the ₹50 crore net mark shortly but also aim for higher benchmarks as it continues its dominant run in theaters. The film’s technical brilliance, underscored by the music of Ajay-Atul and high-quality VFX, has set a new standard for regional cinema, making it a must-watch for audiences of all ages.
