With its steady run, the film is inching closer to the coveted Rs 300 crore club.

Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi couldn’t resist the Chhaava fever. Speaking at the 98th Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan at Vigyan Bhavan in Delhi, he gave the film a nod, saying, “Maharashtra and Mumbai have elevated Hindi cinema along with Marathi films. And these days, Chhaava is making waves.” Maddock Films, the film’s producers, called it a ‘historic honour.’
