Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava is creating waves at the box office, delivering a spectacular first weekend with over ₹120 crores nett in domestic collections. The historical action drama, directed by Laxman Utekar, brings to life the story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji, son of the legendary Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Featuring Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead and Akshaye Khanna as the formidable Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, the film has struck a chord with audiences.
A Rock-Solid Monday – A True Box Office Winner!
After a stellar weekend, all eyes were on Monday’s crucial test, and Chhaava has passed with flying colors! The film raked in nearly ₹25 crores nett on its first Monday, marking a minimal drop of just 25% from its opening day. With a four-day total of approximately ₹146 crores nett, Chhaava has already cemented itself as a clean hit.
A Holiday Boost & Unstoppable Momentum
The film is poised for another surge, thanks to the upcoming holiday in Maharashtra on Wednesday for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti. This midweek boost is expected to propel collections even higher, with Tuesday’s numbers anticipated to surpass Monday’s.
With no major Bollywood releases until Eid (Sikandar), Chhaava is set to dominate the box office without competition. Industry experts predict the film will comfortably cross ₹200 crores nett by Wednesday and is on course to join the prestigious ₹400 crore club—a milestone achieved by only a select few Bollywood films.
Produced by Maddock Films and spearheaded by Dinesh Vijan, Chhaava is shaping up to be the first Bollywood blockbuster of 2025. With its emotional depth, grand scale, and power-packed performances, the film’s journey to box office glory is just getting started!
