Raja

Shivaji, starring Riteish Deshmukh as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has been struggling to mint big numbers at the box office. The bilingual film had a great start on its opening day (May 1), but eventually, it started crumbling due to several aspects, such as mixed reviews, word of mouth and so on. The Marathi version is getting a good response from the masses, but the Hindi one is on its way to a decent run in theatres. Now, the day 3 numbers of Raja Shivaji are out, and the film has seen a steady growth on Sunday, May 3.

On its first Sunday, Raja Shivaji collected Rs 14.28 crore gross, and nett is Rs 12 crore. The growth is steady, but if we look at the show count, then it clearly shows that the numbers are not bad. On Sunday, around 5,770 shows of Raja Shivaji were conducted across the country. After the Sunday numbers, Riteish Deshmukh’s historical drama collected Rs 33.90 crore net and Rs 40.34 crore gross. After the weekend, the collections are expected to drop during weekdays.
