Vicky Kaushal’s historical action drama Chhaava, directed by super successful Laxman Utekar and featuring the likes of Akshaye Khanna and Rashmika Mandanna continues its unstoppable run at the box office. The film broke into the ₹200 crores nett club in India already, and the revenue figures from the global box office are likely to prove where the film is actually heading. Proving once again that historical dramas will have a strong pull when narrated rightly, Chhaava is transforming from a lion-cub to a LION at the box office.

A Massive Global Milestone

By the end of its second Friday, Chhaava will officially cross ₹300 crore worldwide, a remarkable feat in just over a week. By the end of Day 8, the film’s collections will stand at approximately ₹225 crore net in India, translating to ₹270 crore gross. Meanwhile, its overseas performance has also been noteworthy, with collections reaching $5.5 million, which roughly translates to ₹48 crores. This brings Chhaava’s total worldwide gross to a staggering ₹318 crore by the close of the day.

The Hall of Glory

With this massive ₹318 crores gross feat, Chhaava joins the likes of Pushpa 2, Stree 2, Jawaan and Pathaan, films that have crossed the coveted ₹300 crores mark and beyond in recent times. Despite competition and the usual second-week drop seen in most films, Chhaava has maintained a rock-solid hold at the ticket counters. Surely the film might join couple of more such glory halls in the next couple of weeks.

A Box Office Juggernaut

The film’s gripping narrative, power-packed action sequences, and Vicky Kaushal’s intense performance as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj have resonated deeply with audiences. The domestic market continues to be the driving force behind its success, with Maharashtra leading the charge. The film’s connection to Maratha history has made it a cultural event in the state, drawing large footfalls across multiplexes and single screens alike.

The Road Ahead – ₹400 Crore Next?

With its current tendency, Chhaava is on track to enter the ₹400 crore club if it sustains well over the next week. The film’s strong weekday trends indicate that word-of-mouth remains highly positive, and with today's release, Arjun Kapoor's Mere Husband Ki Biwi is not a major competition due to its genre, Chhaava might further dominate.
