Raja Shivaji Becomes First Marathi Film to Cross Rs.100 Crore Domestically
Trade estimates attribute the milestone to steady third‑week holds and project a final India gross of about Rs.110–115 crore.
Overview
- Trade and box‑office outlets report Raja Shivaji entered the Rs.100 crore domestic club during its third week, making it the first Marathi film to reach that threshold.
- Recent estimates put India net collections in the high‑90s of crores while India gross numbers cited by outlets exceed Rs.100 crore and worldwide gross is reported around Rs.118–120 crore with roughly Rs.4.9 crore from overseas.
- Produced on a reported Rs.75 crore budget, the film is being labeled a commercial success by trade trackers and has registered a positive return on investment so far.
- Day‑by‑day holds in week three of about Rs.1.25–1.35 crore show steady audience interest despite competition in the Hindi market, leaving further gains dependent on weekend spikes in the Marathi belt.
- Industry commentators say the film’s run resets box‑office benchmarks for Marathi cinema and moves Raja Shivaji toward joining Riteish Deshmukh’s higher‑grossing titles, which could encourage larger budgets and wider releases for future regional projects.
