'Raja Shivaji' to end box office run above ₹110cr
What's the story
The historical epic, Raja Shivaji, featuring Riteish Deshmukh, has shown a steady performance even in its fifth weekend. The film added ₹1.2 crore to its total collection during this period, taking the overall gross at the Indian box office to ₹109.45 crore (including Marathi and Hindi dubbed versions). Despite a 65% drop from the previous weekend's earnings, it is expected to finish its run between the ₹110-112 crore mark, as per Pinkvilla.
Record-breaking performance
'Raja Shivaji' becomes highest-grossing Marathi film in India
With its impressive run, Raja Shivaji has become the highest-grossing Marathi film in India. However, it still lags behind Sairat and Baipan Bhari Deva in the Marathi markets. Despite not reaching the expected numbers, especially when compared to films like Tanhaji and Chhaava which did extraordinary business in Maharashtra, Raja Shivaji's performance has been commendable. The film is unlikely to cross ₹100 crore in Maharashtra alone.
