Vicky Kaushal's historical drama Chhaava premiered in cinemas on Valentine's Day, generating significant anticipation. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film serves as a biographical account of the Maratha leader Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and has been produced on an extensive scale. Based on the early advance booking patterns, industry experts forecast a remarkable opening for the film, potentially marking the largest debut for any Valentine's Day release in India to date.

Chhaava box office prediction

Chhaava achieved impressive advance ticket sales, with nearly 500,000 tickets sold across India for its opening day, as reported by trade tracker Sacnilk. This resulted in a total advance booking revenue of ₹13.79 crore, marking it as one of the highest figures in recent Bollywood history. Industry experts predict that the film is likely to surpass the ₹20 crore threshold at the box office on Friday, with aspirations to reach ₹22 crore in net domestic earnings. If successful, Chhaava would become the largest opener of 2025 to date, surpassing Sky Force's opening day collection of ₹15.30 crore.

The records Chhaava is set to break

By noon, reports indicate that Chhaava had amassed a net collection of ₹6 crore across India. This figure is expected to rise as the day continues, with a significant increase anticipated in the evening due to Valentine's Day. Current trends suggest that Chhaava is poised to become Vicky Kaushal's highest opening film to date, surpassing the ₹8.20 crore record set by Uri: The Surgical Strike.

Beyond being a personal achievement for Vicky, Chhaava has the potential to establish a new benchmark within the industry. The film Gully Boy currently holds the record for the highest earnings by a Bollywood film on Valentine's Day, having garnered ₹19.40 crore net in 2019. Chhaava is likely to exceed this figure and may do so with considerable ease.
