Overview
- Raja Shivaji, which opened on Friday, logged about ₹12.4 crore on Day 1, ₹10.55 crore on Saturday, and roughly ₹12 crore on Sunday for a three-day India net of ₹33.9 crore and an India gross near ₹40.3 crore, per Sacnilk estimates.
- The Marathi-language cut led the run with far higher occupancy than the Hindi version, with Day 2 averages near 56% in Marathi versus about 20% in Hindi and a larger share of Sunday’s receipts coming from Marathi screenings.
- Industry trackers say the film delivered the biggest opening weekend ever for a Marathi release and became the first Marathi title to post three consecutive double-digit net days.
- Reports differ on the production cost at roughly ₹75–₹100 crore, which changes how much of the budget is seen as recovered, and coverage notes weak overseas traction so far.
- Riteish Deshmukh thanked audiences and asked viewers not to post in-theatre videos, and the film now heads into its first weekdays when holds and word of mouth will shape its box-office trajectory.
