Deool Band 2 Day 26 BoxOffice : Film earns 68.72 crore net needing over 2 crore to beat Raja Shivaji's Marathi net
BY SACNILK
Deool Band 2 is currently in its fourth week of release and continues to show impressive longevity at the box office. On its 26th day, which fell on a Monday, the film saw a typical weekday dip, recording an India net collection of 0.50 crore. This represents a 72.2% drop from Sunday's 1.80 crore. With 879 shows running on Monday, the film has brought its total India net collection to 68.72 crore, with the total India gross reaching 80.75 crore. The film's performance is particularly noteworthy when we look at the all-time rankings in Marathi cinema. Deool Band 2 is currently chasing a major milestone: becoming the third highest-grossing Marathi film of all time in terms of net collections. It is currently just over 2 crore away from overtaking the Marathi net of Raja Shivaji, which stands at 70.98 crore. While Raja Shivaji had a much higher total across all languages and global markets due to its multi-language release, Deool Band 2 is competing purely on its Marathi strength. Surpassing Raja Shivaji's worldwide total of 117.92 crore is out of reach, but the Marathi net record is well within its grasp.

It kicked off with a massive 30.20 crore in its first week, followed by 22.40 crore in the second week, and a solid 11.15 crore in the third week. Even as it enters the later stages of its theatrical run, the film is still pulling in audiences in key regions like Mumbai and Pune. On Day 26, Mumbai saw an overall occupancy of 14.5% across 224 shows, while Pune recorded 15.5% occupancy across 179 shows.

PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis collectively sold approximately 1,800 tickets, generating a total gross of 3.90 lakh. PVR led the way with 950 tickets and 2.10 lakh, followed by INOX with 430 tickets and 0.95 lakh, and finally Cinepolis with 420 tickets and 0.85 lakh. While the weekday numbers are naturally lower, the film has shown a tendency to jump significantly over the weekends. If it manages to maintain this pace, we could see Deool Band 2 cement its place in the top three within the next week. With a worldwide gross of 80.17 crore and no signs of stopping just yet, this devotional drama has proven to be a massive success for the Marathi film industry.
