For a Hindi film to consistently rake in over Rs 20 crore daily is rare, but Chhaava has defied all expectations. Vicky Kaushal’s historical epic remains a juggernaut at the box office, showing no signs of slowing down. On its eighth day, the film earned around Rs 23 crore, pushing its total domestic earnings to Rs 242.25 crore. According to Bollywood Hungama, Chhaava has grossed nearly Rs 350 crore worldwide.
The film recorded a 29% occupancy rate in India on day eight, with an astonishing 51.49% occupancy in night shows. This suggests that Chhaava is resonating with family audiences.
Vicky Kaushal’s career-best success
With Rs 242.25 crore earned in just eight days, Chhaava is set to become Vicky Kaushal’s highest-grossing film, surpassing Uri: The Surgical Strike. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Uri made Rs 244.14 crore in the Hindi market. It is now a certainty that Chhaava will break this record, cementing Vicky’s status as a major box office draw.
Rashmika Mandanna’s golden streak
Co-star Rashmika Mandanna continues her winning streak in Hindi cinema. Chhaava marks her third consecutive blockbuster to cross Rs 200 crore, following Pushpa 2: The Rule (Rs 800+ crore) and Animal (Rs 500+ crore). Her rising popularity solidifies her as one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars.
