Raja Shivaji maintained a promising hold at the box office. The movie added Rs. 2.50 crore to the tally on its 2nd Monday, registering a 43 per cent drop from Friday. The drop from its 1st Monday is about 65 per cent. That said, the 2nd week’s cume reached Rs. 21.25 crore in four days. It is looking to close this week, around Rs. 28 crore or so.
Currently standing at Rs. 82.75 crore, the movie will cross the Rs. 85 crore mark by today, and it will wrap this week around Rs. 89-90 crore. The movie is expected to storm past the Rs. 100 crore mark in its 3rd week. That will be a first for Marathi cinema, with the previous best being Sairat and Baipan Bhari Deva at around Rs. 90 crore. Notably, those two had just the Marathi version, with almost all of their business coming from Maharashtra, while Raja Shivaji has a Hindi-dubbed version and a good amount of business outside Maharashtra.
There is a sense that the film could have aimed even higher. The Marathi box office records were sort of set for it; the target was films like Tanhaji and Chhaava, which were also based on figures from the Maratha Empire. Tanhaji grossed around Rs. 175 crore in Maharashtra state back in 2020 (adjusted to over Rs. 250 crore today), while Chhaava went on to collect over Rs. 300 crore. Raja Shivaji is centred on the very founder and leader of that empire, long anticipated and made in the empire’s own language. While the film has done well so far, it is no longer in the running to reach the heights which Tanhaji and Chhaava reached.
