Chhaava: The Little Film That Could, Conquering Box Office Peaks One Monday at a Time!
Ladies and gentlemen, box office enthusiasts and popcorn munchers alike, gather ’round for the tale of Chhaava, a film that has been making waves and taking names in the Bollywood box office arena. Released on the ever-romantic February 14, 2025, this historical drama directed by Laxman Utekar and starring the dashing Vicky Kaushal, has been on a mission to rewrite history—not just on-screen but in the annals of box office lore.
Now, for those of you keeping score at home, Chhaava has been on one heck of a journey. It’s not just a film; it’s a phenomenon! This cinematic retelling of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s life has been pulling audiences in like a moth to a flame. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Chhaava pulls a rabbit out of its historical hat with a third Monday collection that’s left its competition in the dust—Rs. 7.74 crore, to be precise. This figure isn’t just a number; it’s a statement, folks!
As it stands, Chhaava has elbowed its way past some heavyweight blockbusters, securing its place as the third highest third Monday grosser of all time. Talk about a comeback story! At the top of this list, we have the indomitable Pushpa 2 – The Rule, reigning with an impressive Rs. 11.75 crore. Close on its heels is the epic Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion with Rs. 7.95 crore. But here comes Chhaava, strutting in with Rs. 7.74 crore, just shy of the magnum opus but still making a statement louder than a dhol on Diwali.
Just when you thought it was all about the new kids on the block, Chhaava goes ahead and overtakes Stree 2‘s Rs. 7.05 crore, proving that sometimes, historical drama beats horror-comedy in the third-week endurance race. And if you were betting on Animal or Jawan to hold the fort, think again. Chhaava has outlasted them both, leaving their Rs. 5.55 crore and Rs. 5.45 crore collections, respectively, eating its dust.
Further down the pecking order, we have Gadar 2 and The Kerala Story, clocking in at Rs. 4.60 crore and Rs. 4.50 crore, respectively. These films might have struck an emotional chord, but when it comes to box office longevity, they’ve got nothing on our historical hero. Even Aamir Khan’s juggernauts PK and Dangal are left trailing, with Rs. 4.42 crore and Rs. 4.35 crore respectively.
So here we are, folks. Chhaava isn’t just a film; it’s a testament to the power of storytelling that resonates with audiences long after the credits roll. As it continues to make its mark, the question remains: how far can it climb on the list of all-time highest grossers? Stay tuned, because this story is far from over!
