Riteish Deshmukh’s Raja Shivaji has crossed the Rs 50-crore mark at the box office, maintaining a steady run in its first week.

On its fifth day, the film, headlined and directed by Riteish Deshmukh, collected Rs 4.9 crore nett, according to industry data-tracking portal Sacnilk.

So far, the historical drama has earned Rs 44.40 crore nett in India, with its overall domestic gross reaching Rs 52.68 crore.

The Hindi version, despite a significantly higher show count of 3,634 shows, collected Rs 1.55 crore nett and recorded a relatively lower occupancy of 14 per cent, on Tuesday. In contrast, the Marathi version continues to drive the film’s performance. On Tuesday alone, it contributed Rs 3.35 crore nett, running across 1,851 shows with an occupancy rate of 33 per cent.
