In this sense, the report states that the entire total of collections came from India alone.Strong momentum now puts Raja Shivaji on track to become the second highest grossing Marathi film of all time.As of May 2026, ‘Sairat’ remains the highest-grossing Marathi film of all time, with an estimated global gross of around Rs 110 crore.
