Hyderabad: Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna's period drama Chhava has been enjoying a dream run at the box office since its release on February 14. The Laxman Utekar directorial exceeded projections on its opening day, becoming the biggest opener of 2025. The film has been witnessing an increased trend in footfall, nearing Rs 150 crore in just 4 days.
Chhaava has received praise not just from the general public but also won over critics. Its gripping narrative, powerful performances, and stunning visuals have made the film a roaring success. As of day 4, the Vicky-Rashmika starrer has amassed an impressive Rs 140.5 crore at the domestic box office.

Chhaava opened in theatres with Rs 31 crore on Friday, marking the highest-ever opening for a Valentine's Day film, breaking the previous record held by Gully Boy (Rs 19.4 crore).
