The much-anticipated historical action drama Chhaava has set the box office ablaze. The Vicky Kaushal starrer stormed past the ₹100 crore mark in just three days.
The film's performance in Maharashtra has been nothing short of extraordinary. With its deep cultural connect and high emotional resonance, Chhaava has taken the state by storm, rewriting box office history and smashing records with every passing show. The footfalls in Maharashtra have been phenomenal, significantly contributing to the film’s stellar weekend numbers.
While Maharashtra remains the film's biggest stronghold, Chhaava has also put up impressive numbers in North India. The film saw a steady increase in collections over the weekend. The growth from Friday to Sunday showcases the film’s solid word-of-mouth.
Here’s the breakdown of Chhaava's phenomenal opening weekend:
Friday: ₹33.10 crore
Saturday: ₹39.30 crore
Sunday: ₹49.03 crore
Total: ₹121.43 crore (India nett)
The midweek holiday on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti (Wednesday) is expected to provide another major boost, particularly in Maharashtra, where celebrations are likely to translate into packed theaters.
If the film holds strong over the weekdays, it could be well on its way to entering the elite ₹200 crore club within its first week.
