Riteish Deshmukh’s Raja Shivaji Just Made History — And the Box Office Numbers Prove It

Four weekends in and Raja Shivaji is still standing tall. Riteish Deshmukh’s magnum opus has crossed Rs. 106 crore gross at the Indian box office in just 24 days — and is now firmly on course to close its theatrical run around the Rs. 110 crore mark. For a Marathi historical epic, that’s not just impressive — that’s record-breaking territory.

Raja Shivaji Week-by-Week Box Office Breakdown

The 4th weekend closed at Rs. 3.25 crore — a 60% drop from the previous weekend, which is a fair hold for a film this deep into its run. The momentum is clearly slowing, but the cumulative number tells a much bigger story.

A Record That Stands on Its Own

Based on the life and legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj — the legendary Maratha warrior king — Raja Shivaji has already claimed the title of the highest-grossing Marathi film of all time, surpassing both Sairat and Baipan Bhari Deva.

The key differentiator? Unlike those two Marathi blockbusters that were largely confined to Maharashtra, Raja Shivaji released in both Marathi and Hindi, pulling in significant numbers from outside the home state. That bilingual strategy is what pushed it past the Rs. 100 crore milestone.

That said, within Maharashtra itself — the true benchmark for a Marathi film — it’ll likely fall short of Baipan Bhari Deva and Sairat. The expectations were set even higher given what Marathi-sentiment films like Tanhaji and Chhaava achieved in the state (Rs. 250 crore+ and Rs. 300 crore+ respectively). Raja Shivaji won’t reach Rs. 100 crore in Maharashtra alone — and that’s the honest takeaway from an otherwise remarkable run.
