**Mumbai, India** – The historical drama *Chhaava*, starring Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna, and Akshay Khanna, has experienced a phenomenal opening weekend, surpassing expectations with record-breaking box office numbers. Initial reports from box office tracker Saknilk indicate that the film raked in a massive ₹31 crore (approximately $3.8 million USD) on its opening day, setting a new record for the highest opening day for a Hindi film in 2025 and also marking the biggest opening of Vicky Kaushal’s career.
The film’s momentum continued into its second day, with collections reportedly exceeding the opening day’s total, reaching ₹36.5 crore (approximately $4.5 million USD). This brings the two-day total to a staggering ₹67.5 crore (approximately $8.3 million USD). Worldwide collections are estimated to have crossed ₹100 crore (approximately $12.3 million USD) within the first two days, following a reported ₹50 crore opening day global gross.
*Chhaava*, which portrays the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Maratha emperor Shivaji Maharaj, has received mixed reviews but has clearly resonated with audiences. Kaushal’s portrayal of Sambhaji Maharaj and Khanna’s performance as Aurangzeb have been widely praised. The film also stars Diana Penty, Ashutosh Rana, and Vineet Kumar Singh. This is the latest in a string of biographical roles for Kaushal, following his acclaimed performances in *Sardar Udham* and *Sam Bahadur*.
