Raja Shivaji is charging toward yet another historic milestone. The film has now entered its second week since its release on Maharashtra Day, May 1, 2026. The Rs. 75 crore India net landmark, never before reached by a Marathi film, is now just Rs. 6.43 crore away. At the current daily pace and with midweek collections expected to remain solid, the milestone could fall as early as Wednesday or Thursday.
Second Weekend Performance
The second weekend has been nothing short of spectacular. Day 10 delivered a 21.4% Sunday growth to Rs. 6.80 crore, pushing India gross past Rs. 81 crore and setting up what promises to be a historic second week. Day 11 will bring a natural Monday correction after Sunday's strong Rs. 6.80 crore. Trade analysts expect the film to settle in the Rs. 2.5–3.5 crore range by end of day, a solid midweek hold that would take the cumulative net to approximately Rs. 71 crore and leave the film well positioned to cross the Rs. 75 crore landmark by Wednesday or Thursday.
Week 1 and Second Weekend Earnings
Week 1 fetched Rs. 52.65 crore, built on a Rs. 11.35 crore opening day (the highest debut ever for a Marathi film), a stellar opening weekend of Rs. 33.90 crore, and an extraordinary weekday hold that saw the film drop less than 6% on Day 7. The Day 4 Monday collection of Rs. 5.60 crore was nearly double the previous Marathi Monday record of Rs. 3.02 crore held by 'Ved'. By end of Week 1, the film had surpassed the lifetime collection of 'Lai Bhaari' (2014) in just three days and recovered over 58% of its Rs. 100 crore budget.
Day 8 fetched Rs. 3.20 crore, showing a standard 20% second-Friday correction. Day 9 fetched Rs. 5.60 crore, marking a powerful 75% growth over Friday that confirmed Raja Shivaji's second weekend was building with genuine momentum.
Day 10 Recap
Day 10 collection of Rs. 6.80 crore represents a 21.4% growth from Day 9's net collection of Rs. 5.60 crore. This marked the second weekend's peak and the film's biggest single-day collection since its opening Sunday of Rs. 12.00 crore. This brought the total India gross to Rs. 81.00 crore and total India net to Rs. 68.25 crore. The India gross crossing Rs. 81 crore on Day 10 is a landmark in itself, making Raja Shivaji the first Marathi film to cross Rs. 80 crore India gross.

More About Raja Shivaji
Raja Shivaji depicts the early life and the visionary Swarajya mission of the 17th-century Maratha warrior king, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, whose military genius, administrative innovation, and unshakeable devotion to his people built an empire from almost nothing and changed the course of Indian history. Riteish Deshmukh delivers a career-defining performance as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Sanjay Dutt is formidable as Afzal Khan, while Abhishek Bachchan brings depth and nuance to Sambhaji Shahaji Maharaj. Additionally, Genelia Deshmukh shines as Maharani Saibai, with Bhagyashree as the emotional backbone Jijabai, Vidya Balan as Badi Begum, and Amole Gupte as Mohammed Adil Sha. Notably, Rahyl Deshmukh, Riteish and Genelia's youngest son, makes a heart-winning debut as the young Shivaji Maharaj.
Salman Khan's surprise appearance as Jiva Mahala continues to drive theatre reactions and footfalls. His dialogue "Shivaji nahi; Shivaji Raje mhanaycha" remains one of the most-shared film quotes on social media. The film features a thunderous background score by Ajay-Atul.
