Chhaava Box Office Update

Chhaava, a film directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under the banner of Maddock Pictures, chronicles the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the second ruler of the Maratha Empire, who reigned from 1681 to 1689. This grand-scale production features Rashmika Mandanna in the role of Yesubai Bhonsale, Divya Dutta as Sambhaji Maharaj's stepmother Soyarabai, and Akshaye Khanna portraying Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. The film premiered in Indian theaters on February 14, 2025.

Following a notable increase of 19.35% in its second day’s earnings compared to the first, Chhaava experienced an even more significant rise on its third day, achieving a 30% boost. On this day, the film garnered ₹48.5 crore at the Indian box office, as reported by Sacnilk. With earnings of ₹31 crore on the opening day and ₹37 crore on the second day, the cumulative collection now totals ₹116.5 crore.
