**Mumbai, India** – Vicky Kaushal starrer “Chhaava,” a historical epic based on the Maratha Empire, has achieved phenomenal box office success, crossing the ₹100 crore mark within its opening weekend. The film, which opened on Valentine’s Day, raked in an estimated ₹116.8 crore in just three days, according to box office data provider Sacnilk.
Sunday saw the highest single-day collection at ₹48.5 crore, followed by ₹37 crore on Saturday. The film’s strong performance is evident in its Hindi occupancy rate, reaching 62.48%, with evening shows proving particularly popular. Pune and Mumbai reported the highest occupancy, with theaters nearly full. The lack of competing major releases also contributed to its success.
Directed by [Director’s name – not mentioned in the text], “Chhaava” features an ensemble cast including Rashmika Mandanna, Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, and Divya Dutta. The film boasts a score and soundtrack by A.R. Rahman and lyrics by Irshad Kamil. Initially slated for release in December 2024, its release was pushed to February 14th, 2025.
Despite its commercial triumph, “Chhaava” has received mixed reviews from audiences. Produced by Maddock Films, known for its commercially successful films, the movie is an adaptation of Shivaji Sawant’s acclaimed Marathi novel of the same name. The film’s impressive opening day collection of ₹31 crore already surpassed the record set by “Uri,” making it the highest-grossing Valentine’s Day release.
