That is a major achievement for Marathi cinephiles. Yes, I agree Raja Shivaji is average cinematically. With all its criticisms, which were totally fair, we shouldn't ignore the commercial win this film secured. It shattered Sairat's records after long time. Opening up a higher margin for Marathi films.

I hope many more Marathi directors and producers go for multilingual releases. It is necessary that we heavily market our films across the nation. A great achievement here is that Raja Shivaji's major income source was Marathi. Hoping to see more films add up to this list in the future.

Pravin Tarde is probably the most successful Marathi director when it comes to BO numbers. Deool Band 2 did a collection of 6.15 Crores in first 2 days and set to cross 10 crores today!

If Nagraj Manjule delivers this properly, Khashaba could become one of those films people remember as a turning point for Marathi cinema.

I’ve been rewatching and recalling older Marathi serials like Honar Sun Me Hya Gharchi, Julun Yeti Reshimgathi, Unch Majha Zoka, Vadalvaat, Kulvadhu, Ekach Hya Janmi Janu, and Dil Dosti Duniyadari.

Compared to today’s serials, the feel is very different.

Older shows felt slower but more structured. Characters were more consistent, and relationships developed gradually instead of being driven by constant twists.

For example, Julun Yeti Reshimgathi focused on emotional buildup, while Honar Sun Me Hya Gharchi had simple but coherent family dynamics. Unch Majha Zoka also stood out for its depth beyond just drama.

Now many current shows feel more stretched for conflict, with repeated misunderstandings and frequent character changes just to push episodes forward.

But I also wonder—Is this actually better writing from the past, or just nostalgia because those shows are already complete?

What do you think—has Marathi serial storytelling improved or declined over time?

Noticed that Deool Band 2 has made a strong opening of nearly 3cr.

Is the earnings because of it's franchise's brand value or a case of corporate bookings

Prajakta Mali's Cannes post is probably the most liked post for any Marathi celebrity. The reel has 1 Million likes & 16 Million views currently.

Prajakta Mali just made her debut at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, and she chose to go full traditional! 🌟

तिची रेड कार्पेटवरील एन्ट्री एकदम दिमाखदार ठरली. पारंपरिक नऊवारी साडी, मराठमोळे दागिने आणि तो जबरदस्त कॉन्फिडन्स She absolutely nailed the look! ❤️‍🔥

A proud moment for the Marathi industry to see our culture represented on such a massive global stage. 🚩

आज खऱ्या अर्थाने मराठी सिनेसृष्टीसाठी अभिमानाचा दिवस! 🙌

ज्येष्ठ अभिनेते Ashok Saraf (महाराष्ट्र भूषण) आणि अभिनेत्री Nivedita Saraf यांनी थेट Cannes Film Festival च्या प्रतिष्ठित रेड कार्पेटवर हजेरी लावली — आणि तो क्षण अक्षरशः ऐतिहासिक आहे!✨

मराठी सिनेमाचा वारसा, त्याची समृद्ध परंपरा आणि कलाकारांची ताकद आता जागतिक पातळीवर झळकत आहे, हे पाहून खरंच अभिमान वाटतो. ❤️

Ashok Saraf सरांचा दशकानुदशकांचा प्रवास आणि Nivedita ताईंची उपस्थिती — दोघांनीही Cannes मध्ये आपली वेगळी छाप सोडली.

Raja Shivaji continues its strong run, with an excellent third weekend. Sunday collections nearly doubled Friday’s.

The film now stands at ₹93.10 crore nett in India and is set to cross the ₹100 crore mark this week.💥

Week-wise breakdown:

Week 1: ₹57.70 cr

Week 2: ₹27 cr

With this, Raja Shivaji has officially surpassed Sairat’s ~₹110 crore worldwide record—ending a 9-year reign and setting a new benchmark for Marathi cinema. 🔥👏🏻

One of the finest movies of all time for me. Pn hi movie ajun celebrate keli pahije, collection mdhe 10 crore sudha cross nhi karta ale.kai karan asu shkt

I guess, apart from Matichya Chuli, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and Sharmaji Namkeen are the only two films were the makers had to resort over this unfortunate predicament of mid film replacement of actors due to death.

Actor - director Vijay Patkar is known for numerous comedy roles that he has portrayed.

As a director he has directed around 7 films.

Among those Ek Unaad Diwas and Chashme Bahaddar were the ones I enjoyed watching.

Should he continued to have directed more such films ?
