Laxman Utekar’s historical action drama Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, has taken the box office by storm. The film has officially joined the elite Rs. 200 crore club, achieving the milestone in just six days, making it one of the fastest Bollywood films to do so. With a total collection of Rs. 203.68 crore, Chhaava now stands alongside Baahubali 2 and Tiger 3, which also crossed Rs. 200 crore in six days.
The film’s performance in Maharashtra has been nothing short of spectacular. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti holiday boost on Day 6 propelled Chhaava to an incredible Rs. 32.40 crore collection on Wednesday, almost matching its Day 1 earnings of Rs. 33.10 crore on Valentine’s Day. The demand for the film remains exceptionally high, with packed theatres and increasing footfalls across the state.
Chhaava has now entered the same league as some of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters that have crossed the Rs. 200 crore mark at record speeds. Films like Pushpa 2 – The Rule, Jawan, and Animal achieved this milestone in just three days, propelled by massive nationwide demand and unparalleled audience anticipation. Stree 2 and Pathaan followed closely, reaching Rs. 200 crore in four days, leveraging strong word-of-mouth and franchise value. Gadar 2 and KGF – Chapter 2 took five days to hit the benchmark, riding on nostalgia and cult following, while Tiger 3 and Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion achieved the feat in six days, similar to Chhaava. What makes Chhaava’s achievement even more remarkable is that, unlike most of these high-octane action entertainers, it is a historical drama, a genre that typically does not witness such rapid box office growth. However, thanks to its massive pull in Maharashtra and strong nationwide interest, the film has managed to break the mould, proving that historical epics still have the power to dominate the box office.
Currently, with no major competition, Chhaava is expected to maintain its momentum. If the film continues its strong weekday hold, it could enter the Rs. 300 crore club in the coming weeks, further cementing Vicky Kaushal’s position as a box office powerhouse.
Unlike commercial action blockbusters that dominate the Rs. 200 crore club, Chhaava has made history by reaching this milestone with a historical war drama, proving that audience interest in well-made period films remains strong. With its record-breaking Maharashtra performance, stellar word-of-mouth, and historical significance, Chhaava is proving to be one of the biggest success stories of 2025. Now, the industry watches closely to see how high this Vicky Kaushal starrer can soar.
