Raja Shivaji Makes Marathi Cinema History!

Riteish Deshmukh's ambitious historical epic, Raja Shivaji, has etched its name in Indian cinema history, concluding its third weekend with an impressive global collection of 114.75 crore. The film has demonstrated remarkable momentum since its release, showing no signs of slowing down.

Raja Shivaji has officially surpassed Nagraj Manjule's Sairat, which held the record for nearly a decade. With its 114.75 crore gross collection worldwide, Raja Shivaji now reigns as the number one highest-grossing Marathi film ever. This achievement also makes it the second Marathi film to cross the 100-crore mark globally, a feat rarely seen in regional cinema.

For Riteish Deshmukh, Raja Shivaji represents a significant personal victory. The film is his 10th 100-crore grosser, a milestone he achieved previously with major Bollywood productions. However, reaching this benchmark with a self-directed regional film marks a phenomenal accomplishment, further solidifying his impact on Marathi cinema. The film also features a star-studded cast including Genelia Deshmukh, Bhagyashree, Sanjay Dutt, Vidya Balan, Abhishek Bachchan, and a special cameo by Salman Khan.
