Raja Shivaji box office collection day 14: Riteish Deshmukh’s ambitious historical drama Raja Shivaji has been doing steady business at the box office since its release on May 1.

According to Sacnilk, the movie collected 1.39 crore net on its second Thursday (Day 14), taking its total domestic net collection to 76.44 crore. After a strong first week of 52.65 crore, the film saw the expected slowdown but still showed some life over the second weekend. It earned 3.20 crore on Friday, followed by 5.60 crore on Saturday and 6.80 crore on Sunday. The weekdays were more modest- 2.40 crore on Monday, 2.50 crore on Tuesday, and 1.90 crore on Wednesday.
As expected, Raja Shivaji is performing much better in Marathi circuits than in Hindi. In fact, it has now become the second highest-grossing Marathi film ever, comfortably crossing Baipan Bhari Deva ( 76.28 crore) but still short of the all-time record holder Sairat ( 80.98 crore).
