It's not only set to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest hits of 2025, but is also being regarded as Kaushal's best work to date.
Besides Kaushal, the audience showered praises on Akshaye Khanna, who plays Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Chhavaa also features Rashmika Mandanna and Ashutosh Rana in key roles.
AdvertisementThe movie earned Rs 33 crore on its opening day, marking the biggest Valentine's Day hit for a Bollywood film. Within just a week of release, it crossed the Rs 200 crore mark. The film dominated audiences in states such as Maharashtra and Rajasthan, where Sambhaji Maharaj is deeply revered.
The film's magic remained unfazed even with Salman Khan's highly anticipated Sikandar's release on March 31. Unlike Chhaava, Sikandar failed to impress audiences.
AdvertisementChhaava managed to earn Rs 7 crore in its 7th week, film critic Taran Adarsh shared the data on April 4. It has broken many box office records, marking a shift from the declining health of Bollywood cinema.
Its success has revived hope for theatre owners, who have been struggling with changing consumer behaviour. Unfit scripts, OTT access, and affordability seem to have weakened theatres' appeal. Many theaters have turned to showing cricket matches such as the ongoing Indian Premier League, and concerts to draw in audiences.
Meanwhile, last month, unidentified persons were booked for illegal circulation of Chhaava on digital platforms through the creation of multiple links.
The case was filed under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Copyright Act, Cinematograph Act and Information Technology Act with South Region Cyber Police on the complaint of the chief executive officer of an anti-piracy agency.
