Raja Shivaji Sets a New Speed Record
Raja Shivaji has become Marathi cinema’s fastest-ever film to cross ₹100 crore, and it now sits atop the all-time chart at ₹130 crore — overtaking Sairat, the cult hit that had held the record for nearly a decade.
2026: A Landmark Year
Remarkably, two of the top three all-time Marathi grossers — Raja Shivaji and Deool Band 2 — both released in 2026, signaling a major commercial breakout year for an industry that has traditionally operated on a smaller scale than Bollywood or the South Indian film industries.
The Rest of the Top 10
Rounding out the list are Ved (₹75 crore), Natsamrat (₹48–50 crore), Lai Bhaari (₹41 crore), and Katyar Kaljat Ghusali (₹40 crore) — a mix of romance, biopics, and drama that has long defined Marathi cinema’s identity.
