Raja Shivaji Holds Firm On Day Two After Record Marathi Opening

The early momentum behind ‘Raja Shivaji’ has carried into its second day, even as collections eased slightly from its opening surge. The Ritesh Deshmukh-led historical drama, which began with a strong Marathi-language debut, continues to draw audiences across regions, according to trade data available so far.

Figures reported by Sacnilk indicate the film collected ₹10.55 crore on Saturday, a modest drop from its opening day total of ₹11.35 crore. While the dip reflects a typical post-release adjustment, the overall performance across the first two days remains steady, particularly for a film anchored in regional storytelling but released with a broader bilingual approach.

The film’s cumulative India gross now stands at ₹23.77 crore, with net collections reaching ₹21.90 crore. These numbers place *Raja Shivaji* in a firm position at the domestic box office heading into the final day of its opening weekend, a period closely watched by exhibitors and distributors for signs of sustained audience interest.

Released alongside *Ek Din*, the film has not faced significant disruption from the competing title. The latter, featuring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, has struggled to find similar traction, allowing *Raja Shivaji* to retain a clear lead in theatre occupancy and revenue share.

Language-wise data offers a clearer picture of the film’s reach. Hindi screenings have contributed ₹2.97 crore, while Marathi shows have brought in ₹5.73 crore, underscoring the film’s core strength in its home market while also indicating a growing audience beyond it.

The weekend trajectory now hinges on Sunday’s performance. Trade watchers typically look for a rebound after a second-day slowdown, especially when early buzz remains intact. In this case, the film’s ability to hold attention across both Marathi and Hindi-speaking audiences could shape its immediate box office direction.
