Vicky Kaushal’s latest historical drama, Chhaava, is
making waves at the box office, emerging as a massive success within its first
weekend. Despite a slight dip in earnings on Day 3, the film managed to cross
the ₹100 crore mark within just three days of release, reaffirming Kaushal’s
growing dominance in Bollywood.
Chhaava Box Office Collection So Far
Chhaava has been performing exceptionally well since
its release, drawing large audiences to theaters across the country. According
to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film has grossed an impressive ₹101.37 crore
(India net) within just three days.
- Day
1 (Friday, February 14): ₹31 crore
- Day
2 (Saturday, February 15): ₹37 crore
- Day
3 (Sunday, February 16): ₹33.37 crore
Although the film saw a slight decline in earnings on its
third day, it still maintained a strong hold at the box office. The Sunday
collections were only slightly lower than Saturday’s, proving that Chhaava
continues to attract audiences despite new releases and competition.
A Record-Breaking Opening for Vicky Kaushal
Chhaava has now become Vicky Kaushal’s
highest-opening film to date. Before this, his best opening-day performance was
with Uri: The Surgical Strike, which earned ₹8.20 crore on its first
day. Compared to that, Chhaava’s ₹31 crore opening was a massive jump,
proving Kaushal’s growing popularity and the film’s strong appeal among
audiences.
For comparison, here’s how some of his previous films
performed on their opening day:
- Bad
Newz (2024): ₹8.62 crore
- Sam
Bahadur (2023): ₹5.75 crore
- Zara
Hatke Zara Bachke (2023): ₹5.49 crore
- BHOOT:
Part One – The Haunted Ship (2020): ₹5.10 crore
- Manmarziyaan
(2018): ₹3.52 crore
- Raazi
(2018): ₹7.53 crore
Clearly, Chhaava has outperformed all of Kaushal’s
previous films in terms of opening-day earnings.
Will Chhaava Surpass Uri: The Surgical Strike?
Chhaava was made on an estimated budget of ₹130
crore, and with its current pace, the film is expected to enter the ₹200 crore
club soon. However, the big question remains: will it surpass Uri: The
Surgical Strike, which remains Vicky Kaushal’s highest-grossing film with a
lifetime collection of ₹244.14 crore (net) at the Indian box office?
Given the film’s impressive start and positive word of
mouth, Chhaava has the potential to challenge Uri’s record. If
the film maintains its momentum and enjoys a strong second week, it could
emerge as Kaushal’s biggest blockbuster.
Final Thoughts
Chhaava’s spectacular box office performance proves
that audiences are embracing historical dramas with compelling storytelling and
powerful performances. Vicky Kaushal has once again delivered a remarkable
performance, drawing praise from both critics and fans.
As the film continues its theatrical run, all eyes are now
on its long-term earnings. Will Chhaava surpass Uri: The Surgical
Strike to become Kaushal’s biggest hit? Only time will tell, but one thing
is certain—the film has already solidified its place as one of the biggest
releases of the year.
