'Raja Shivaji', a historical drama featuring Riteish Deshmukh as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has demonstrated a solid box office performance, surpassing ₹60 crore in just nine days since its release on May 1, 2023. The film collected ₹5.60 crore on Saturday, raising its domestic total to ₹61.45 crore. After an impressive opening day of ₹11.35 crore, the film experienced a strong weekend with collections of ₹10.55 crore on Saturday and ₹12 crore on Sunday. Although there was a minor dip in weekday collections, the film managed to stabilize, earning ₹4.25 crore on Wednesday and ₹4 crore on Thursday. Competing against Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi's 'Ek Din', 'Raja Shivaji' maintained its momentum, while 'Ek Din' struggled to attract audiences. The film features a notable cast, including Abhishek Bachchan and Genelia Deshmukh, and marks the acting debut of Riteish and Genelia's son, Rahyl. The film's production faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it has now become a significant release in 2023. Riteish has emphasized the importance of experiencing the film rather than focusing on its budget, rumored to be around ₹100 crore.
