Raja Shivaji Box Office Collection Day 4 Live: Riteish Deshmukh film eyes Rs 50 crore mark.Raja Shivaji Box Office Collection Day 4 Live Updates: Riteish Deshmukh’s Raja Shivaji began its box office journey on a strong note. The film collected Rs 11.35 crore in India across 6,192 shows with an occupancy of 32.3%, eventually wrapping up its opening weekend with a solid Rs 34 crore (India net). The numbers initially indicated strong audience interest and raised expectations of a sustained run, especially given the film’s scale and cross-language release. However, the momentum didn’t quite hold. On its first Monday, the film witnessed a sharp dip, earning just Rs 5.60 crore. The film’s total India gross has reached Rs 46.95 crore, while net collections stand at Rs 39.50 crore so far.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Raja Shivaji recorded an overall occupancy of 21.5% across 5,145 shows on Monday. A major chunk of the collections—Rs 4.25 crore—came from the Marathi version, despite it having nearly half the number of shows compared to the Hindi release. This indicates that the film continues to find stronger footing with regional audiences.

On the other hand, the Hindi version struggled to keep pace. Despite being screened across 3,410 shows, it managed to collect only Rs 1.35 crore, with a relatively low occupancy of 11%. This is particularly notable considering the presence of big names like Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan, which were expected to draw wider attention in the Hindi belt.
Meanwhile, its Hindi competitor, Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla, is also witnessing a slowdown. The film collected just Rs 1.75 crore on its third Monday across 4,054 shows, with an occupancy of around 12%.
With both films seeing declining numbers, it remains to be seen whether the Riteish Deshmukh directorial Raja Shivaji can stabilise its performance in the coming days or continue to rely primarily on its Marathi audience for support.

User @TheBoomShankar tweeted, "Only wrong thing with #rajashivaji is the main lead @Riteishd. We love & respect Chhatrapati Shivaji so much that it was difficult to digest chhapri Ritesh (C grade role in Masti), playing Shivaji. PAN India - Ranveer Singh would have been the best. For Marathi - Sharad Kelkar."

User @khedkarpavan07 wrote on X, "Raja Shivaji is a big disappointment for me. I always felt marathi makers has budget issues that's y they are not producing larger than life movies but I saw this And i can say the VFX shots are literally fake. Very bad. Few good scenes are there but very less. The only hope was ajay atul music and songs that was elevating the scene. Pathetic casting and marathi accent is missing from all cast. Overall Raja Shivaji is a big letdown for me. If budget could have use with real sets and casting was on par then this could have been game changer."

A fan wrote: "Raja Shivaji is a perfect example of “never judge a book by its cover.” Like many others, I was skeptical after watching the trailer and assumed it would be a disappointment. However, the film turned out to be a pleasant surprise."
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Riteish Deshmukh directorial film Raja Shivaji has recorded biggest Monday ever for any Marathi film, collecting Rs 5.6 crore net on its fourth day. Riteish Deshmukh beat his own film Ved to become the highest-grossing Marathi film on a Monday.
A fan expressed disappointment with Raja Shivaji, writing on X: “Raja Shivaji is a huge disappointment. The film seems to have been made primarily to appeal to a specific section of the audience, focusing almost entirely on Afzal Khan versus the Marathas. This is the only film on Shivaji Raje I’ve seen that completely excludes Aurangzeb. Even in terms of screen time, Afzal Khan’s role feels more prominent than that of Shivaji himself. Riteish does a decent job as both director and actor, but Sanjay Dutt delivers a strong performance as Afzal Khan.”
Despite it being a weekday, multiple shows at Orion Mall in Panvel are nearly full. A similar trend is visible at Mukta A2 Cinemas in Kalyan West. Surprisingly, other venues are not witnessing the same level of enthusiasm, even for the Marathi-language shows.
Raja Shivaji has earned Rs 2 lakh by 8 am on its fifth day, across 180 shows with an occupancy rate of 6.8%, with the majority of the revenue coming from the film’s Marathi version.
