Vicky Kaushal’s latest historical epic, Chhaava, has created history at the box office, marking a significant milestone in the actor’s career. Directed by Laxman Utrekar and starring Rashmika Mandanna alongside Vicky, the film was released on February 14, 2025, and has been on a record-breaking spree ever since. Chhaava opened to an overwhelming response on Valentine’s Day, and its momentum only grew stronger in the days that followed. The film’s deep-rooted connection with Maharashtra, owing to its story about a Maratha warrior, resulted in exponential business growth in the state. At the same time, its appeal resonated with audiences nationwide, helping it cross the Rs. 100 crore mark over its opening weekend. By the end of its first week, Chhaava had entered the Rs. 200 crore club at the domestic box office. Now, with its second weekend wrapped up, the film has achieved another major feat—crossing the Rs. 300 crore mark, standing tall at Rs. 334.51 crore.
This landmark collection makes Chhaava Vicky Kaushal’s first-ever Rs. 300 crore grosser, solidifying his position among Bollywood’s top stars. It has also officially become his highest-grossing film, surpassing some of his most celebrated hits. Until now, Vicky’s highest-grossing film was Uri: The Surgical Strike, which collected Rs. 245.36 crore during its theatrical run. The war drama was a game-changer for the actor, proving his ability to lead a high-octane, patriotic action film. However, Chhaava has now comfortably surpassed Uri, further elevating Vicky’s box office standing.
Another major film in Vicky’s career, Raazi, where he starred alongside Alia Bhatt, collected Rs. 123.84 crore. Despite not being a mass-action entertainer, the film performed exceptionally well due to its gripping narrative and strong performances. Yet, Chhaava has nearly tripled its lifetime collection in just two weeks, showcasing its unprecedented box office power. In 2023, Vicky delivered a surprise hit with Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, a light-hearted romantic comedy that earned Rs. 88 crore at the box office. Although the film performed beyond expectations, its numbers now pale in comparison to Chhaava, which has become a juggernaut at the ticket counters.
Meanwhile, Vicky’s other notable releases—Bad Newz (Rs. 66.28 crore), Bhoot: Part One – The Haunted Ship (Rs. 31.97 crore), and Manmarziyaan (Rs. 17.09 crore)—saw varying degrees of success but never reached the scale of Chhaava.
With the film still performing exceptionally well at the box office, Chhaava is now racing toward its next big milestone—Rs. 400 crore. The upcoming Maha Shivratri partial holiday (Wednesday) is expected to further boost its earnings, helping it inch closer to the coveted mark.
As Chhaava continues its rampage, it’s evident that Vicky Kaushal has delivered a career-defining blockbuster. The film’s grand success cements his ability to headline massive projects and reinforces his growing stature as one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars. All eyes are now on the next milestone—will Chhaava hit Rs. 400 crore!
