Chhaava Gallops Past Box Office Records: A Maratha Masterpiece for Mumbai
Greetings, cinephiles and number crunchers! Boxoffice Bhaskar is here with the latest dispatch from the Bollywood battlefield, where Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava has been waging a war of its own—against box office records, that is! Released on the romantic date of February 14, 2025, this historical epic, guided by director Laxman Utrekar’s cinematic compass, has been pulling audiences like moths to a flame, especially in the land of vada pav and cutting chai—Maharashtra.
Chhaava isn’t just a film; it’s a box office juggernaut. It opened with a bang, and if you blinked, it had already crossed the Rs. 100 crore mark over its debut weekend. Fast forward a week, and we’re staring at Rs. 200 crore. By the time the second weekend had rolled its credits, the film was sitting pretty past Rs. 300 crore. Talk about a paisa vasool performance!
Now, let’s zoom into Mumbai, where Chhaava has galloped its way into the city’s heart and history books as the fourth highest-grossing film ever. Amidst the titans of tinsel town, this Maratha warrior saga has carved out its territory. The reigning champ of Mumbai box office glory remains Pushpa 2 – The Rule with a staggering Rs. 249.28 crore. Not far behind, we have the mighty Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion with Rs. 191.58 crore, and the surprise horror-comedy hit, Stree 2, with Rs. 189.87 crore. Chhaava, with its Rs. 187.32 crore loot, has left Pathaan (Rs. 166.52 crore) and others eating its dust.
In this cinematic clash of the titans, Chhaava has also outpaced Gadar 2, which collected Rs. 147.33 crore, and the SRK-led Jawan at Rs. 141.09 crore. Even Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior, another ode to Maratha valor, couldn’t match Chhaava’s might with its Rs. 136.94 crore tally. And let’s not forget how it left K.G.F – Chapter 2 (Rs. 134.61 crore) and Animal (Rs. 112.29 crore) in the rearview mirror.
Why this victorious march, you ask? It’s simple: give the audience a gripping historical narrative with a leading man like Vicky Kaushal, and they’ll show up in droves. Utrekar’s direction and the film’s cultural resonance have turned it into a box office behemoth, proving once again that stories with roots as deep as Maratha pride can conquer even the most crowded of cinematic landscapes.
