Chhaava collection: Vicky Kaushal’s film to emerge as biggest opener of quarter?

New Delhi: Chhaava, featuring Bollywood hunk Vicky Kaushal in the lead, is trending all over. The historical film is garnering massive appreciation from cinema lovers for its gripping storyline and compelling performances by the star cast. Also, a lot of expectations are riding high on its Box Office success. But the question concerning us all at the moment is: How much money will the highly-discussed movie collect on its opening day?

In an exclusive conversation with News9 Live, exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi shared his prediction and stated that the film is likely to emerge as the biggest opener for the quarter. “Going by the kind of opening it’s had in the shows during the day, I think a Rs 25 crore Day One is pretty much assured, with the bulk of its business coming from Maharashtra, of course. And entirely depending on how it pans out in the evening, there is a high chance it may actually go close to Rs 30 crore today, if the traction is good and if the shows continue to pick up,” he stated.

Akshaye added, “So, keeping our fingers crossed and hoping that it can, you know, go on to become the biggest opener of the quarter.” Now, it will be really interesting to see the actual number, which is expected to be out on Saturday (February 15, 2025).

Chhaava review

Ever since its release, Chhaava has become the epicenter of applause. We got a chance to watch the film early and we were completely blown away by the magnificence and grandeur it brings to cinemas. While Vicky as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj remains the highlight of Chhaava, other actors like Akshaye Khanna as Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, Ashutosh Rana as Sarsenapati Hambirao Mohite, Vineet Kumar Singh as Kavi Kalash, Diana Penty as Zinat-un-Nissa Begum and Neil Bhoopalam as Muhammad Akbar successfully managed to leave a lasting impact on the hearts of viewers with their fine performances.

The peak of the film is the ultimate face-off between Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Aurangzeb. Chhaava amalgamates thrilling action, heart-touching emotions and stirring brutality.
