Vicky Kaushal’s film ‘Chhava’ started winning the hearts of people as soon as it was released on Friday, that the film was starting to do wonders. But in the entire weekend theaters, ‘Chhava’ gathered such a crowd that also surprised the film business experts.
In the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the gesture of Vicky’s strong performance was seen in the teaser and trailer of ‘Chhava’. The songs and on-ground promotion of the film also showed the effect and from day one started seeing Vicky in theaters. ‘Chhava’ started getting good response from the public in advance booking. But the Word of mouth of the public created such an atmosphere that the film has performed far beyond expectations at the box office.
100 million crosses in just 3 days
When ‘Chhava’ started opening at the box office with a collection of Rs 33.10 crore at the box office on Friday, this film was going to do a big explosion. Positive Word of Mouth showed its magic and ‘Chhava’ got strong growth in the next two days. On Saturday, the film earned more than 39 crores. On the third day, more than 25% jump came in the collection of ‘Chhava’ and the film just missed a little fifty crores. The film’s collection was Rs 49 crore on Sunday.
‘Chhava’, which has collected more than Rs 121 crore in three days, has brought the biggest weekend collection in Vicky’s career. Prior to ‘Chhava’, the biggest weekend collection of Vicky’s career came from ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’, which earned 36 crores in the first weekend. In the first weekend, the earnings of ‘Chhava’ have almost reached Vicky’s second biggest film ‘Raji’. The lifetime collection of ‘Raji’ was 123 crores, which will be crossed very comfortably on Monday.
‘Chhava’ leads in films based on history
Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor starrer ‘Padmavat’, is a landmark in terms of films based on history in Bollywood. The total gross of this film was more than 300 crores. ‘Padmavat’ collected Rs 114 crore at the box office in the first weekend.
In comparison, ‘Chhava’ has collected Rs 121 crore in the first weekend. The interesting fact is that ‘Padmavat’ was released on Thursday and its weekend collection includes 4 days of earnings.

Bollywood ready to become the first blockbuster of Bollywood in 2025
‘Chhava’ collected Sunday for Rs 49 crore, which is the biggest Bollywood collection at the box office this year. Now Vicky’s film is ready to cross the big landmark at the box office.
This year, so far, the most earning film for Bollywood is Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Sky Force’, which has collected a total of Rs 130 crore at the box office. Its weekend collection was Rs 73 crore. The first 3 -day collection of ‘Chhava’ is much more than the weekend collection of ‘Sky Force’. Rather, with Monday’s earnings, Vicky’s film ‘Sky Force’ will also cross the total collection.
The public mood for ‘Chhava’ is very positive and no film from Bollywood is going to reach the theaters for at least the next two weeks which can prove to be very strong at the box office. Vicky’s film will directly benefit from this. In 2019, Vicky’s bang film ‘Uri’ had a lifetime collection of 245 crores. But now from ‘Chhava’, he is ready to enter 300 crore club for the first time. According to reports, ‘Chhawa’, made in the budget of about 130 crores to 150 crores, is also going to be the first blockbuster of 2025 for Bollywood.
