The film Raja Shivaji, featuring Riteish Deshmukh, has made a strong debut at the box office and has kept up that momentum into its second day. It raked in about Rs. 13 crore on its opening day and followed that up with nearly Rs. 12.25 crore on day two, bringing its total to around Rs. 25.25 crore in just two days.
It's normal to see a slight dip from the first day to the second, especially since the opening day benefited from a holiday. However, the drop here has been quite small, indicating that the film is managing to keep the audience engaged beyond its initial release.
