Raja Shivaji Box Office Day 9: Riteish Deshmukh’s Historical Drama Continues A Strong Run; Crosses Rs 60 Cr Mark

In an era where big-screen spectacles often see their momentum fade after the opening weekend, Raja Shivaji appears to be holding its ground quite comfortably. The historical drama has continued to attract audiences to theatres well beyond its initial release, with particularly strong support from Maharashtra and Marathi-speaking viewers. Alongside Riteish Deshmukh, the film stars Abhishek Bachchan, Genelia Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, and Mahesh Manjrekar. However, after the initial surge, collections have declined amid mixed reviews. Scroll down to read the box office report of the period drama.
