Chhaava, the historical action film starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, has been taking the box office by storm since its release. Based on the Marathi novel Chava, the film, which explores the life of Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, has achieved remarkable success in just one week. The movie crossed the Rs 200 crore mark in its first week and continues to perform strongly in its second week. Despite the release of Mere Husband Ki Biwi on February 21, 2025, Chhaava has maintained its dominance, with Day 8 earnings expected to be in the range of Rs 20 crore.
A Historic Success in Bollywood
Produced by Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films and directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava has already established itself as the first major success of 2025 in Bollywood. The film’s portrayal of Sambhaji Maharaj’s battle with Mughal emperor Aurangzeb has resonated deeply with audiences, especially in Maharashtra, where the emotional connection to the Maratha warrior is strong. The film’s stellar performance has made it the leader at the Hindi box office, with projections suggesting it could surpass Rs 400 crore in its full theatrical run.
The Film’s Star-Studded Cast and Positive Reception
Chhaava also features Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, Vineet Kumar Singh, and Diana Penty in significant roles. Audiences and critics alike are praising the film for its gripping storytelling, historical accuracy, and stellar performances. As the movie continues to dominate theaters, fans are eagerly booking their tickets to experience the action-packed drama of Chhaava.
