Raja Shivaji has done what very few Marathi films ever have — opened big, held reasonably well, and kept an entire industry’s hopes riding on its second weekend. But the clock is ticking, and the numbers need to deliver.

Raja Shivaji: Week 2 Begins — A Slight Wobble But Still on Track
Raja Shivaji kicked off its second week by collecting approximately ₹3.75 crore on its 2nd Friday, marking a 10 per cent drop from Thursday. The week-on-week drop, however, was over 70 per cent — with the Marathi version holding better at under 10 per cent decline, while the Hindi version slipped by 20 per cent.
The eight-day running total stands at approximately ₹65.25 crore. With a second weekend expected to add around ₹17 crore, the film could be sitting at roughly ₹78 crore by Sunday — keeping the ₹100 crore milestone within reach, though it will be cutting it close if holds don’t improve from Monday onwards.

The Historic Milestone at Stake
If Raja Shivaji reaches ₹100 crore, it will become the highest-grossing film from the Marathi film industry — a landmark achievement for a regional cinema that has long deserved its moment at the top.
But there’s a bittersweet side to this story too. The Marathi box office records were set for this film — the target was always Tanhaji and Chhaava, both films based on figures from the Maratha Empire. Tanhaji grossed over ₹175 crore in Maharashtra alone back in 2020, while Chhaava went on to collect over ₹300 crore. Raja Shivaji is centred on the very founder and leader of that empire, made in its actual language — and while it has performed well, it is no longer in the race to match those towering heights.

What Needs to Happen Now
The second weekend is everything. A strong Saturday-Sunday jump to ₹7–10 crore per day would restore confidence and set up a credible run toward ₹100 crore. Without that boost, the film may plateau before history is made.
