Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama Chhaava is proving to be an unstoppable force at the box office, having crossed the Rs 350 crore mark.
As of Day 12, February 25, the film earned Rs 18 crore, bringing its total collection to Rs 363.25 crore, according to a report by Sacnilk.
The report added that the film, directed by Laxman Utekar, continues to draw audiences. On its second Tuesday, the Hindi market had an occupancy rate of 23.74%.
Chhaava features Vicky Kaushal in the role of the courageous Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Joining him, Rashmika Mandanna portrays his wife Maharani Yesubai, while Akshay Khanna takes on the character of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.
Diana Penty steps into the role of Shehzadi Zinat-un-Nissa Begum, the daughter of Aurangzeb and Ashutosh Rana plays the fierce Sarsenapati Hambirao Mohite. Divya Dutta also appears as Soyarabai, adding depth to the historical drama.
Produced under the banner of Maddock Films by Dinesh Vijan, Chhaava is adapted from the Marathi novel Chhaava by Shivaji Sawant, bringing to life the valiant legacy of a Maratha warrior who stood against overwhelming odds.
In a heartfelt Instagram video, Vicky Kaushal shared his emotional response to the incredible love the film has received.
In the video, a young fan was seen crying after watching the film, chanting the name of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Kaushal expressed his gratitude, writing, “Hamari sabse badi kamai. (Our greatest earning). Proud of you beta (son)… Wish I could give you a hug. Thank you everyone for your love and emotions. We wished for Shambhu Raaje’s story to reach every household in the world… and to see that happening is our greatest victory.”
The emotional connection between the film and its audience is further demonstrated in another video, where fans poured milk over Chhaava’s poster in a symbolic act of admiration for the Maratha warrior.
Earlier this month, co-star Rashmika Mandanna praised Vicky Kaushal for his dedication and professionalism.
In an interaction with media, Mandanna expressed, “With Vicky, every day on set, I would think, ‘This guy is amazing.’ It is so rare to find people like him, and I am really grateful to work with him.”
