Chhaava” is predicted to be a huge hit for Vicky Kaushal, potentially his biggest opening ever. Some are even saying it could break a six-year-old box office record currently held by Ranveer Singh.
Laxman Utekar’s “Chhaava,” a big-budget biopic about the Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, launched in theaters on Valentine’s Day to a lot of excitement and curiosity. Early ticket sales are looking very promising, and industry experts are predicting a massive opening weekend, possibly the biggest (14th February) Valentine’s Day debut ever seen in India.
Box Office Predictions
“Chhaava” has seen impressive advance ticket sales, with nearly 500,000 tickets sold across India for its opening day, according to Sacnilk. This translates to about ₹13.79 crore in advance bookings, a very strong showing for a Bollywood movie. Experts believe the film will easily surpass ₹20 crore at the box office on its first day, Friday, and some even think it could reach ₹22 crore. If these predictions are correct, “Chhaava” would become the biggest opening film of 2025 so far, beating “Sky Force”‘s ₹15.30 crore debut movie.
Can Chhaava Break These Records?
By midday, “Chhaava” had already earned ₹6 crore across India, according to reports. With Valentine’s Day boosting evening attendance, these numbers are expected to climb even higher. Current trends suggest “Chhaava” is on track to be Vicky Kaushal’s biggest box office hit yet, surpassing the ₹8.20 crore opening of “Uri: The Surgical Strike”.
“Chhaava” isn’t just a big moment for Vicky Kaushal; it could also become a benchmark for the entire industry. Currently, “Gully Boy” holds the Valentine’s Day box office record for Bollywood, having earned ₹19.40 crore in 2019. “Chhaava” is expected to beat that number, and it might even do so by a considerable margin.
