Sachin Khedekar and Prajakta Koli’s Marathi hit continues its steady theatrical run as Day 14 brings in ₹0.35 crore, keeping the total India net collection close to the ₹12 crore mark.
Marathi cinema continues to enjoy a strong theatrical presence in early 2026, and Krantijyoti Vidyalay Marathi Madhyam is quietly emerging as one of the season’s most stable performers. The social drama, directed by Hemant Dhome and starring Sachin Khedekar, Amey Wagh, Siddharth Chandekar, and Prajakta Koli, has now completed 14 successful days at the box office, proving that strong word-of-mouth still matters in regional cinema.
After collecting an estimated ₹11.41 crore in its first 13 days, the film added approximately ₹0.35 crore on Day 14 (Wednesday), taking the total India net collection to around ₹11.75 crore. While midweek numbers naturally soften, the film’s overall consistency signals healthy audience acceptance.
Day 14 Box Office Collection: A Midweek Reality Check
As per live trade estimates, Krantijyoti Vidyalay Marathi Madhyam earned close to ₹0.35 crore India net on its fourteenth day. The figure reflects only limited advance data and is subject to hourly updates, but it gives a reliable snapshot of the film’s current momentum.
Midweek drops are expected for content-driven films, especially after two strong weekends. However, crossing the ₹11.75 crore mark in just two weeks remains a respectable achievement for a Marathi release without massive commercial packaging.
Industry insiders note that films driven by strong performances and emotional storytelling often sustain slower but longer runs, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 markets.
Full 14-Day Box Office Breakdown
Here’s how the film has performed over its first two weeks:
- Day 1 (Thursday): ₹0.70 Cr
- Day 2 (Friday): ₹0.45 Cr
- Day 3 (Saturday): ₹1.05 Cr
- Day 4 (Sunday): ₹1.50 Cr
- Day 5 (Monday): ₹0.50 Cr
- Day 6 (Tuesday): ₹0.50 Cr
- Day 7 (Wednesday): ₹0.50 Cr
- Week 1 Total: ₹5.75 Cr
- Day 9 (Friday): ₹0.60 Cr
- Day 10 (Saturday): ₹1.65 Cr
- Day 11 (Sunday): ₹2.10 Cr
- Day 12 (Monday): ₹0.65 Cr
- Day 13 (Tuesday): ₹0.65 Cr
- Day 14 (Wednesday): ₹0.35 Cr
Total (14 Days): ₹11.75 Cr India Net
The standout moment was clearly the second weekend, when Saturday and Sunday combined delivered nearly ₹3.75 crore, reinforcing the film’s strong word-of-mouth pull.
Occupancy Report: Where Audiences Are Still Turning Up
On Day 14, the film recorded an overall 13.73% Marathi occupancy across theatres. While not blockbuster-level numbers, this is considered steady for a weekday run in the regional circuit.
Show-wise occupancy on Wednesday:
- Morning Shows: 10.33%
- Afternoon Shows: 17.13%
- Evening Shows: 0%
- Night Shows: 0%
The absence of late-evening and night shows suggests reduced screening allocation, which is normal after the second week as newer releases enter theatres.
City-Wise Performance: Mumbai and Pune Lead
The film continues to find decent traction in Maharashtra’s major urban centers:
- Mumbai: 14% overall occupancy with 384 shows
- Pune: 15% overall occupancy with 167 shows
- Sangli: 22% overall occupancy (strongest region percentage-wise)
- Nagpur: 10.5%
- Nashik: 7%
- Aurangabad: 8.5%
- Kolhapur: 6%
Mumbai and Pune remain the biggest volume contributors due to higher show counts, while Sangli’s percentage occupancy indicates strong localized interest.
Why the Film Is Working With Audiences
Krantijyoti Vidyalay Marathi Madhyam taps into emotional storytelling rooted in education, social values, and grassroots realities — themes that traditionally resonate with Marathi audiences. Director Hemant Dhome’s grounded narrative approach and a performance-driven cast have helped the film connect beyond the opening weekend rush.
Sachin Khedekar’s seasoned screen presence adds credibility, while Prajakta Koli’s fan following has drawn younger audiences. Amey Wagh and Siddharth Chandekar provide balance with relatable performances that strengthen the ensemble appeal.
Trade analysts suggest that the film’s stable weekday holds indicate organic audience growth rather than front-loaded hype.
Box Office Outlook: Can It Hit ₹15 Crore?
With ₹11.75 crore already in the bag, the next psychological target for the film would be the ₹13–₹15 crore lifetime mark. Achieving that will depend heavily on:
- Continued screen retention in Maharashtra
- Weekend jumps in Week 3
- Limited competition from new regional releases
- Sustained word-of-mouth among family audiences
If the film manages modest collections over the next two weekends, crossing ₹13 crore looks achievable. ₹15 crore would require a strong third weekend push or extended single-screen support.
Marathi Cinema’s Quiet Growth Story
The success of Krantijyoti Vidyalay Marathi Madhyam once again highlights how Marathi cinema continues to carve its own space at the box office, relying on authentic storytelling rather than spectacle-driven budgets.
In recent years, regional films have increasingly benefitted from loyal local audiences, better multiplex penetration, and strong social media chatter. Films like this prove that even without massive promotional spends, content-driven cinema can sustain healthy theatrical legs.
Final Word
While the Day 14 figure reflects a natural slowdown, Krantijyoti Vidyalay Marathi Madhyam remains firmly on a positive trajectory. A ₹11.75 crore net collection in two weeks positions it as one of the more successful Marathi releases of the season.
As the film enters its third week, all eyes will be on weekend growth and screen retention. If audience interest holds steady, this quiet performer could end its run as a solid commercial success — and another win for meaningful Marathi storytelling.
