Box office performance
A look at film's domestic net collection so far
In its first week, Raja Shivaji earned ₹52.65 crore, followed by another ₹24.3 crore in the second week. The film has continued to perform well in its third week, with a resurgence at the box office, minting ₹7.6 crore net during the weekend alone. After 19 days of release, its domestic haul stands at an impressive ₹87 crore, but for it to remain on track, it needs to hold on in the weekdays and pick up speed on the weekend.
Record-breaking potential
Film is on track to become highest-grossing Marathi film
Raja Shivaji is all set to become the highest-grossing Marathi film of all time, surpassing Nagraj Manjule's Sairat. The latter had crossed the ₹100 crore mark at the worldwide box office in 2016. Since then, no Marathi film has come close to replicating this feat until Deshmukh's Raja Shivaji. The film is written and directed by Deshmukh and produced by Genelia Deshmukh and Jyoti Deshpande under Mumbai Film Company and Jio Studios.
