'Raja Shivaji' Holds Strong After Drop

The film’s box office performance highlighted a strong preference for regional language screenings, with the Marathi version recording a healthy average occupancy of 35.25% on Monday and peaking during night shows at 46.67%, indicating higher audience engagement in prime-time slots. In contrast, the Hindi version lagged behind with an average occupancy of 11.84%, though it showed relatively better traction in evening and night shows compared to morning screenings, reflecting a clear audience tilt toward the Marathi-language release. ‘Raja Shivaji’: Salman Khan Sports Turban, Flaunts Moustache in Leaked Cameo Look From Riteish Deshmukh’s Historical Film (Watch Video)
About ‘Raja Shivaji’
Written and directed by Riteish Deshmukh, who also stars as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the film is an ensemble production featuring Genelia D'Souza Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Vidya Balan and Fardeen Khan. The film was released on May 1, coinciding with Maharashtra Day, and benefited from a lack of major competition. While it debuted alongside the Aamir Khan-produced Ek Din, that project struggled to find an audience, leaving Raja Shivaji as the dominant choice for moviegoers. The film is produced by Jio Studios in association with Mumbai Film Company.
