Hyderabad:Vicky Kaushal's historical drama Chhaava, made on a reported budget of Rs 130 crore, is well on its way to earning around Rs 250 crore in India. After a slow start for Hindi films at the box office, this movie has provided a much-needed boost. Released with minimal competition, Chhaava has become the ninth-fastest film to collect Rs 200 crore, joining the ranks of films like Jawan, Animal, and Pushpa 2. The film continues to perform strongly, reigniting the box office for Hindi films that have struggled since last year.
The movie has seen solid performances, particularly in the West and North. Maharashtra has been the largest contributor, with Delhi also performing strongly. The multiplexes have done well, and Mumbai remains the top contributor.

Having a total of around Rs 242.25 crore, Chhaava will overtake Uri: The Surgical Strike as Vicky Kaushal's biggest hit. Uri had been the highest until now with Rs 244.14 crore and was the career-defining film for Vicky. His portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj has been very much appreciated.
