**Mumbai, February 17, 2025** – Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama “Chhaava,” released on Valentine’s Day, has taken the Bollywood box office by storm. The film, based on the life of Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has not only become the biggest opener of 2025 but also crossed the ₹100 crore mark in a record-breaking three days.
This surpasses the previous record held by Akshay Kumar’s “Sky Force,” which achieved the same feat in eight days. “Chhaava,” directed by Laxman Utekar, has garnered critical acclaim and massive audience appreciation, resulting in phenomenal weekend collections. The film’s impressive opening weekend numbers have also shattered previous records set by films like “Fighter,” “Tiger Zinda Hai,” “Padmaavat,” “Kalki 2898 AD,” and “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.”
With current earnings exceeding ₹117 crore against a reported budget of ₹130 crore, “Chhaava” is on track to recoup its production costs within the week. Industry analysts predict continued strong performance, solidifying its position as a major box office success of 2025.
