Hyderabad: Chhaava has taken the Indian box office by storm, dominating the past ten days with its record-breaking run. Starring Vicky Kaushal in the lead, the historical epic has not only become his highest-grossing film but has also surpassed major post-pandemic blockbusters like Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi. The film remained strong despite the intense hype surrounding Sunday's India vs. Pakistan clash in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, proving its unwavering hold over audiences nationwide.
Chhaava Box Office Collection Day 10
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Chhaava collected an estimated Rs 40 crore on its 10th day (Sunday), taking its total domestic earnings to Rs 326.75 crore. The film had amassed Rs 219.25 crore in its first week and carried strong momentum into its second weekend.
On Friday, Chhaava raked in Rs 23.5 crore, setting the stage for an extraordinary Saturday surge, where collections jumped by 87.23% to Rs 44 crore. Although Sunday saw a minor dip, the film still managed to comfortably cross the Rs 300 crore milestone.
For Vicky Kaushal, this marks a career-defining achievement, as Chhaava becomes his first film as a lead actor to enter the Rs 300 crore club. His previous highest-grossing project, Sanju, where he played a supporting role, had also crossed this benchmark. Meanwhile, for Rashmika Mandanna, this is her third film to achieve such a feat, following the successes of Pushpa 2 and Animal.
