, is continuing its triumphant run at the box office and registered double-digit earnings three days in a row. However, its inability to make an impact in the overseas market has dealt a blow to Raja Shivaji’s box office prospects, preventing the movie from crossing even the Rs 40 crore mark during the crucial opening weekend.
On Sunday, the historical action drama recorded an India nett collection of Rs 33.90 crore from 5,771 shows, taking its total domestic earnings to Rs 40.34 crore gross, according to industry tracker Sacnilk.

Although the movie hasn’t been able to soar beyond a certain point, it has maintained consistent momentum at the box office so far, earning Rs 12 crore on Sunday after minting Rs 11.35 crore on Friday and Rs 10.55 crore on Saturday.
However, compared to director Mahesh Narayanan’s Mammootty-Mohanlal starrer Patriot, which hit screens on the same day, Raja Shivaji is struggling in terms of overall collection, as the espionage thriller has already recorded a global gross of Rs 63 crore. One of the major reasons behind this is that the Riteish Deshmukh directorial hasn’t managed to earn anything from the overseas market yet.
Nonetheless, Raja Shivaji’s daily earnings are significantly better than those of Sairat (2016) and Baipan Bhari Deva (2023),the highest-grossing Marathi movies of all time, which registered Rs 110 crore and Rs 90.50 crore, respectively, during their theatrical run. However, it is worth noting that while Sairat and Baipan Bhari Deva were made on reported budgets of Rs 4 crore and Rs 5 crore, respectively, Raja Shivaji apparently cost Rs 100 crore.
Aside from Riteish in the titular role, the movie also features Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Mahesh Manjrekar, Genelia D’Souza, Fardeen Khan, Bhagyashree, and Sachin Khedekar, among others.

Special congratulations To Riteish Deshmukh and the entire team, Who fulfilled this historic responsibility with such dignity.

Raja Shivaji Box Office Collection Day 3 Live Updates: ‘First film that does such great justice to the historical roles’
X user @amolmitkari22 posted earlier, “I just watched the Marathi film “Raja Shivaji,” brought to life through the unwavering hard work of actor Riteish Vilasrao Deshmukh. Truly, heartfelt thanks are due to him for this reason: I’ve watched so many old and new Marathi films about Shivraya over the years, but this is the first film that does such great justice to the historical roles of Chhatrapati Shahaji Raje Bhosale, Lakhujiraje Jadhav, Jijausahib’s eldest son Sambhaji and Jiva Mahale’s valor in history. False history has been given a proper farewell, care has been taken to avoid any controversies arising, and the sequence of Afzal Khan’s killing has been clearly depicted—from Gopinath Pant Bokil to Jiva Mahale to Sambhaji Kavji. The role of young Shivba, the role of Shivraya Sahebai, everything feels fitting to history… And especially, MLA Dhiraj Deshmukh’s historical dance was soul-soothing. If late Vilasrao Deshmukh Sahib were alive today, he would have felt a deep satisfaction seeing the efforts he put into ensuring no controversy arises over the date of Shiv Jayanti now bearing fruit. As a Shivbhakt, heartfelt thanks for creating such an unparalleled film that everyone should make it a point to watch #rajashivaji
