Raja Shivaji Hit or Flop Verdict
Raja Shivaji carries the dual weight of Marathi pride and Bollywood ambition. Made on a reported ₹100Cr budget, it needs to perform across both the Marathi circuit — where emotional investment is highest — and the Hindi belt, where historical spectacle must earn every screen. The Maharashtra Day holiday gives it a meaningful head start, and the Ajay-Atul score is the strongest commercial hook. Whether Riteish Deshmukh the director can match Riteish Deshmukh the icon is the central question the opening weekend will answer.
About Raja Shivaji
Raja Shivaji (2026) is a Marathi historical action drama directed by and starring Riteish Deshmukh, chronicling the rise of young Shivaji Bhosale and the founding of the Maratha empire. A decade-long dream project for Deshmukh, the film is produced by Mumbai Film Company and Jio Studios and features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Genelia Deshmukh, Fardeen Khan, and Salman Khan in a cameo. Shot simultaneously in Marathi and Hindi, with music by Ajay-Atul and cinematography by Santosh Sivan, it is the most expensive Marathi film ever made. The film releases on May 1, 2026 — Maharashtra Day — coinciding with the state's founding anniversary.
