The film earned Rs 29.65 crore by the end of Day 2, trade sources indicate — a figure that itself shattered all existing Marathi film box office benchmarks. Day 3 saw slight growth, pushing the overall three-day total past Rs 33 crore. The numbers confirm Raja Shivaji as a genuine blockbuster by any measure in Marathi cinema.
