The Vicky Kaushal starrer Chhaava has been performing exceptionally well at the box office. After opening to a thunderous response in Maharashtra, the Laxman Utrekar directorial, which also features Rashmika Mandanna, witnessed exponential business growth. The film, which collected Rs. 33.10 cr on its opening day, continued its stellar run into the weekdays. The sixth day saw record collections of Rs. 32.40 cr, a number nearly matching its first-day earnings. While a significant portion of these collections has been driven by Maharashtra, other regions across India have also shown a notable upswing in business, further solidifying Chhaava’s dominance.
The film shows no signs of slowing down and has already set multiple new records. After becoming the first film of 2025 to enter the Rs. 200 cr club, Chhaava has now emerged as the highest first Wednesday grosser of all time. Collecting Rs. 32.40 cr on its first Wednesday, the film has surpassed the previous benchmarks set by blockbuster titles such as Gadar 2, Pushpa 2 – The Rule, and Animal.
To put Chhaava’s remarkable feat into perspective, it managed to edge past Gadar 2, which collected Rs. 32.37 cr on its first Wednesday. Pushpa 2 – The Rule followed closely behind with Rs. 31.50 cr, while Animal, another box office juggernaut, registered Rs. 30.45 cr. Even Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion, which remains one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time, recorded Rs. 26 cr on its first Wednesday, falling short of Chhaava’s numbers. Other notable big-ticket releases such as Dhoom 3 (Rs. 25.52 cr), Jawan (Rs. 23.83 cr), Good Newwz (Rs. 22.50 cr), Kick (Rs. 21.66 cr), and Dangal (Rs. 21.46 cr) all lag behind in this category, further cementing Chhaava’s place at the top.
As the film now heads into its second weekend, the momentum remains strong. Given its current trajectory, trade analysts predict that Chhaava will continue its dream run at the box office, with its business likely to surge even further. If the film maintains its momentum, it could near the Rs. 300 cr mark in the coming days, making it Vicky Kaushal’s highest-grossing release to date. With an outstanding response from audiences and unwavering support in key territories, Chhaava is well on its way to rewriting box office history.
