**Mumbai, India –** Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama, *Chhaava*, continues its box office triumph, amassing a staggering ₹286.75 crore domestically in just nine days. The film, based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, saw a significant jump on its second Friday, collecting ₹44 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. This performance surpasses even its first Thursday’s earnings, showcasing exceptional audience hold.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh lauded the film’s strong second week performance, predicting it will easily cross the ₹500 crore mark. He highlighted the consistent ₹20 crore+ daily collections throughout the first week and the strong second Friday numbers as indicators of its sustained success. Adarsh also praised the decision to postpone *Chhaava*’s release from December 6th to avoid clashing with *Pushpa 2*, believing this strategic move allowed both films to maximize their potential.
Starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles, along with a stellar supporting cast including Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, Diana Penty and Divya Dutta, *Chhaava*, produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, has proven to be a massive box office hit. The film’s strong performance further solidifies its position as one of the most successful historical dramas in recent Bollywood history.
