On Sunday, the Hindi version of 'Raja Shivaji' earned about ₹4.25 crore, which is roughly ₹1.25 crore less than 'Bhooth Bangla'. Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan's film 'Ek Din', which also released this week, saw a small increase on Sunday, earning about ₹1.70 crore. But its total 3-day collection of ₹3.85 crore is less than what 'Bhooth Bangla' made on its third Sunday alone.
