Even before the release of Chhaava, there were signs that it would do well at the box office. But nobody could’ve expected it to be this resounding a success. On its third Friday of release, Chhaava still hit double-digit figures, and amassed a respectable Rs 13.25 crore, according to trade website Sacnilk. This has taken Chhaava’s domestic nett collections to Rs 412.5 crore, making it the biggest success in Vicky Kaushal and director Laxman Utekar‘s careers. Chhaava marks cast member Rashmika Mandanna’s third straight entry into the Rs 500 crore club worldwide, after Animal and Pushpa 2: The Rule.
Chhaava had an overall 17.56% Hindi occupancy on Friday, with maximum occupancy of 28.48% in the night shows and minimum occupancy of 9.22% during the morning shows.
It has also dethroned Pushpa 2’s state record of ₹250 crore in Maharashtra, emerging as the region’s highest-grossing film. However, on a global scale, Pushpa 2 still holds the edge with ₹857.15 crore worldwide, compared to Chhaava’s ₹563.79 crore. With its domestic nett collections, Chhaava is just Rs 8 crore away from crossing the collections of Prabhas’ Baahubali: The Beginning. On Friday, it surpassed the domestic collections of Salaar: The Ceasefire.
Vicky plays Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in Chhaava, which also stars Akshaye Khanna, Vineeth Kumar Singh, and Divya Dutta. The film has received a lot of love from the audience, even if there are conversations about the authenticity of the portrayal of the titular character. Nevertheless, the appreciation have been coming from many quarters, including Indian PM Narendra Modi.
