With Sachin Pilgaonkar, Supriya Pilgaonkar, and Ashok Saraf reprising their roles, the film has brought a dose of classic Marathi humor to the big screen. As the film enters its 11th day, it remains one of the top Marathi films at the box office, despite facing competition from other releases.
Budget
The production budget of Navra Maza Navsacha 2 is estimated to be around ₹8 crore. The film benefited from National Cinema Day during its opening weekend, which helped it secure a strong start. Given the success of its predecessor and the star-studded cast, the sequel was expected to perform well, especially among Marathi-speaking audiences.
