Chhaava’s Box Office Records: Vicky Kaushal’s Epic Redefines Bollywood Success

Chhaava has stormed theaters and shattered expectations, proving its box office records are more than just numbers—they’re a cultural phenomenon. As of March 20, 2025, this historical epic starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna has grossed ₹767.25 crore worldwide, rewriting Bollywood history under Laxman Utekar’s direction.

From its jaw-dropping opening to its unstoppable run, Chhaava has emerged as 2025’s biggest blockbuster, blending Maratha pride with cinematic brilliance. Let’s unpack the milestones that have made this film a record-breaking juggernaut.

What Sparked Chhaava’s Record-Breaking Opening Day?

On February 14, 2025, Chhaava burst onto the scene with ₹31 crore nett in India, eclipsing Vicky Kaushal’s previous best, Uri: The Surgical Strike (₹8.20 crore). It didn’t just stop there—it outdid Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force (₹15.30 crore) to claim 2025’s biggest Bollywood opener title.

Globally, it raked in ₹50 crore on day one, smashing Gully Boy’s Valentine’s Day record (₹19.40 crore) and proving romance isn’t the only draw on this holiday.

How Did Chhaava Power Through Its Opening Weekend?

The film’s momentum soared over its debut weekend, collecting ₹121.43 crore nett in India. Sunday’s ₹49.03 crore haul—a 30% leap from its opening—highlighted its broad appeal.

In Maharashtra, it outperformed even Pushpa 2: The Rule in single-day earnings, with X posts buzzing about its “historic” run. This weekend dominance set the stage for a record-shattering journey.

Is Chhaava 2025’s Top Grosser Across Languages?

Absolutely. With ₹767.25 crore worldwide and ₹570.65 crore nett in India, Chhaava reigns as 2025’s highest-grossing film, outpacing Sankranthiki Vasthunam and Game Changer.

Its Hindi version alone netted ₹562.38 crore, while Telugu added ₹13.95 crore, showcasing its pan-Indian pull. Among historical films, it trails only Baahubali 2 and RRR, a feat that underscores its box office prowess.

Which Second-Week Milestones Did Chhaava Achieve?

Chhaava didn’t just start strong—it kept roaring. Its second Saturday hauled in ₹43 crore nett, topping Pushpa 2’s ₹41.50 crore for Bollywood’s biggest second Saturday ever.

By its second Tuesday (₹17.25 crore), it crossed ₹350 crore domestically. X users called it “unstoppable,” and trade analysts predict its second-week haul crushed every existing record, cementing its blockbuster status.

How Did Chhaava Revolutionize Ticket Sales?

The film’s box office records extend beyond earnings to ticket sales, with Chhaava selling 12 million tickets on BookMyShow—the first Hindi film to do so.

This surpassed 2024’s Stree 2, earning praise from BookMyShow’s COO Ashish Saksena as a “game-changer.” It’s a clear sign of its massive audience draw and cultural impact.

What Makes Chhaava a Maharashtra Marvel?

In Maharashtra, Chhaava has rewritten regional history, nearing Pushpa 2’s Mumbai circuit record (over ₹280 crore nett). Its fifth weekend (₹22 crore) outdid Pushpa 2 (Hindi) (₹14 crore) and Stree 2 (₹16 crore), with X posts hailing its “juggernaut” status.

This regional triumph reflects its deep connection to Maratha heritage and Vicky Kaushal’s small-town appeal.

Some Closing Thoughts: Will Chhaava Hit the ₹800 Crore Mark?

With ₹767.25 crore already secured, Chhaava is tantalizingly close to ₹800 crore worldwide. Crossing ₹700 crore in 25 days and overtaking Gadar 2 (₹691 crore) by day 24, it’s riding high. The Telugu version’s fourth-week boost and upcoming Holi buzz could push it past this milestone, making it Vicky Kaushal’s career-defining hit.

Chhaava’s box office records tell a story of triumph, resilience, and cinematic magic. From its explosive debut to its sustained reign, this Vicky Kaushal starrer has redefined what a historical drama can achieve in 2025.

As it inches toward ₹800 crore, it’s clear Chhaava isn’t just breaking records—it’s setting a new standard for Bollywood success. Watch this space: the Maratha epic’s reign is far from over.
