Can Raja Shivaji make history?
While the 50 crore milestone will be crossed very soon, the main target remains the 100 crore milestone in net collections. Till now, no Marathi film has scored a century in India. Now, Raja Shivaji has a strong chance to achieve the feat, and the word of mouth is in favor. With no major releases scheduled in the upcoming weeks, it has a golden opportunity to run riot in theaters across Maharashtra and achieve the dream of giving the Marathi film industry its first 100-crore net grosser.
