Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhaava' enters Rs 200 crore club

Actor Vicky Kaushal's historical drama, 'Chhaava', has achieved a significant milestone by crossing Rs 200 crore in domestic box office collections, as reported by trade analysts.

Released on February 14, the film maintains its strong performance, drawing audiences nationwide.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh confirmed that 'Chhaava' reached the Rs 200 crore mark on Thursday.


The film's collections received a substantial boost during the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti holiday.

Adarsh posted on Instagram: "200 NOT OUT: 'CHHAAVA' IS SENSATIONAL... RECORD HOLD IN MAHARASHTRA... Chhaava makes a grand entry into the Rs200 cr Club, aided by the #ChhatrapatiShivajiMaharajJayanti holiday boost on Wednesday [Day 6]."

The film garnered over Rs 30 crore on Wednesday, nearly matching its opening day earnings.

The strongest performance has been observed in Maharashtra, with substantial attendance increases in Rajasthan and West Bengal during mid-week.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav declared 'Chhaava' tax-free in the state on Wednesday, coinciding with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's birth anniversary.

Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde attended a special screening of 'Chhaava' on Wednesday, commemorating the 395th birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

At the event, the Deputy CM commended the film team's efforts in presenting Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's narrative.

"Today is the birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj... I want to thank the film's team and Vicky Kaushal for bringing the story of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to everyone," Shinde stated.

Regarding tax exemption requests, Shinde indicated that appropriate governmental action would be taken.

In an ANI interview, Vicky Kaushal had earlier described his role as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj as his most challenging performance. The actor underwent extensive preparation for an authentic portrayal.

"Playing such a historical figure requires a lot of discipline, and discipline is tough. If you are not used to discipline, where I was, it becomes very challenging because it's not just a one-month commitment; it's a commitment for one and a half to two years," Kaushal explained.

He added, "I'm just happy that I get to say that this is the toughest role I've played to date. I hope I can continue to grow, not just as an actor but as a human being, with every role I take on."

The Laxman Utekar-directed film also stars Akshaye Khanna and Rashmika Mandanna in significant roles.
