With big names like Riteish Deshmukh, Mammootty and Mohanlal in the mix, the box office this week tells a story of contrast. While Raja Shivaji continues to march ahead with steady numbers, Patriot is losing steam in India despite global gains.

Meanwhile, Ek Din is finding it increasingly difficult to stay relevant. So, who’s really winning the audience?

 

'Raja Shivaji' Day 8 Box Office Collection

Riteish Deshmukh’s historical drama is showing resilience as it enters its second week. As per Sacnilk, on day 8, the film recorded a net collection of Rs 3.20 crore across 3,882 shows. That’s a 20% dip from the previous day’s Rs 4.00 crore, but the overall momentum remains intact.

So far, the film has amassed Rs 55.85 crore in net collections and Rs 66.23 crore in gross earnings across India. Backed by strong performances and rooted in the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the film continues to draw attention. If current trends hold, it’s likely to cross the Rs 70 crore gross mark over the weekend.

'Patriot' Day 8 Box Office Collection

In contrast, Patriot, starring Mammootty and Mohanlal, is witnessing a noticeable slowdown in domestic markets. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, on its eighth day, the film earned Rs 0.76 crore, an 18.3% drop from Rs 0.93 crore the previous day, across 996 shows.

Its India net collection now stands at Rs 27.74 crore, with a gross of Rs 32.18 crore. However, the real boost comes from international markets, where the film has pulled in Rs 41.00 crore. This takes its worldwide gross to Rs 73.18 crore, pushing it past the Rs 70 crore milestone globally. Despite the dip at home, strong overseas support is helping the film maintain a respectable overall performance.  

'Ek Din' Day 8 Box Office Collection

For Ek Din, the story is far less encouraging. The Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi starrer managed just Rs 0.05 crore on Day 8, with a limited release across 163 shows.

The film’s occupancy stood at 10.9%, reflecting its struggle to attract audiences. After collecting Rs 21 lakh on Day 7, its total now hovers around Rs 4 crore. Just a week into its run, the film appears to be slipping out of the box office race.

While Raja Shivaji continues to dominate with consistent numbers, Patriot is relying heavily on global audiences to stay competitive. Ek Din, meanwhile, is facing an uphill battle.
