On the global front, Chhaava has amassed ₹338.75 crore during its first eight days in theatres, as reported by Sacnilk. The movie's overseas collections contributed ₹48 crore gross, while its India gross stands at ₹290.75 crore.
Trade Analyst's Take
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who rated the movie 4.5 stars, highlighted its strong performance, sharing on X:
"After a phenomenal first week, #Chhaava storms into Week 2 with a bang... Biz on [second] Friday is higher than [first] Thursday - highlighting its extraordinary hold."
He added, "Chhaava has consistently delivered ₹ 20 cr+ on weekdays throughout Week 1 [Monday to Thursday], and with ₹ 20 cr+ on its second Friday, it's crystal clear that the film will not stop at ₹ 400 cr... ₹ 500 cr now seems certain."
Chhaava Controversy
Chhaava found itself in controversy after the release of its trailer, particularly over a dance sequence featuring Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj performing a Lezim dance with Rashmika Mandanna, who plays Maharani Yesubai.
Addressing the backlash, director Laxman Utekar assured audiences that the final cut of the historic film will not include Sambhaji Maharaj performing the Lezim dance with his wife.
