Raja Shivaji Day 8 Box Office: Film Earns Rs. 3.20 Cr; Records A 20% Drop Compared To Thursday

Raja Shivaji has officially moved into its second week of theatrical run, and the performance on its eighth day shows a steady hold. On its second Friday, the film managed to collect ₹3.20 crore net in India. This represents a 20.0% drop compared to its Thursday collection of ₹4.00 crore. While there is a natural dip as it enters the new week, the film is maintaining a decent pace as it heads into the crucial second weekend. With these additions, the total India net collection now stands at ₹55.85 crore.

The language-wise breakdown reveals that the Marathi version continues to be the primary driver for the film's success. On Friday, the Marathi version earned ₹2.50 crore, supported by a solid occupancy of 25.0% across 1,845 shows. In contrast, the Hindi version brought in ₹0.70 crore from a higher show count of 2,037, though the occupancy was lower at 10.0%. Looking at the overall totals so far, Marathi has contributed ₹38.75 crore to the net total, while Hindi has added ₹17.10 crore. The strong performance in Maharashtra is clearly keeping the film's momentum alive.

In terms of theatrical reach, Raja Shivaji was playing across a total of 3,882 shows on Friday, recording an overall India occupancy of 17.1%. When we look at the performance in major national multiplex chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the movie saw steady footfalls. Approximately 9,500 tickets were sold across these chains on Friday. PVR saw around 3,700 ticket sales, while INOX followed closely with about 3,600 tickets. Cinepolis contributed around 2,200 tickets to the total. These major chains accounted for roughly 1,170 shows of the film's daily schedule.

The engagement on booking platforms like BookMyShow also reflects a healthy trend. After selling 1.22 million tickets in its opening week, the second Friday added another 109.78K bookings. This brings the total ticket count for the film to approximately 1.55 million. The initial pre-sales of 217K tickets gave the film a great start, and it is encouraging to see that it is still pulling in over a lakh viewers even on its eighth day.

A 20% drop on the second Friday is a standard trend for films of this size as they enter their second week. The film has successfully exhausted its first-week audience and is now looking to capitalize on the second-weekend crowd. With a total India gross now standing at ₹66.23 crore, the film is in a good position to see a significant jump on Saturday and Sunday. If the Marathi markets continue to show high occupancy, Raja Shivaji should be able to post a very respectable second-week total.
