Backed by a sense of pride and patriotism, the film positions itself as a tribute to one of India’s most iconic figures, with Riteish Deshmukh taking on one of the most significant and demanding roles of his career.
Early trends suggest that while the Marathi version is gearing up for a record-breaking opening, the Hindi version is expected to see a fair to decent start.
Advance booking trends have been highly encouraging, with over 43,000 tickets sold and collections crossing ₹1 crore even before release, driven largely by Maharashtra, which accounts for the majority of sales.
The film is projected to register a record-breaking opening for a Marathi film, potentially hitting double-digit day 1 numbers, aided by the Maharashtra Day holiday and strong regional interest in the story of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
