Three films - Raja Shivaji, Patriot and Ek Din - are facing each other at the box office, and Riteish Deshmukh’s Raja Shivaji is clearly outperforming the remaining two. Mohanlal and Mammootty’s Patriot may gain momentum after the release of its dubbed versions, but until then, the film is witnessing a modest run in theatres.

Expectations from Ek Din were already low after the release of the trailer. However, the fact that it marked Sai Pallavi’s Bollywood debut and was backed by Aamir Khan generated some curiosity among audiences. Despite that, the romantic drama, based on the Thai film One Day, has failed to create any impact at the box office.

On its first Wednesday, Raja Shivaji collected Rs 4.25 crore, comfortably staying ahead of Patriot, which minted Rs 1.20 crore. Ek Din, however, could not even cross the Rs 1 crore mark and managed to collect just Rs 0.23 crore, or Rs 23 lakh, at the box office.

Like Dhurandhar 2 and Bhooth Bangla, all three films witnessed a slowdown in collections on Wednesday.

Raja Shivaji Box Office Collection

Released in Hindi and Marathi, Raja Shivaji has earned the bulk of its revenue from the Marathi version, considering the film is based on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and the Maratha empire.

So far, the Marathi version has contributed Rs 33.50 crore, while the Hindi version has collected Rs 15.15 crore.

The film’s total collection now stands at Rs 57.70 crore worldwide, while the India net collection is Rs 48.65 crore. The film has recorded these numbers from a total of 34,487 shows.
