As expected, Vicky Kaushal’s recent sensation Chhaava utilised the Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti holiday in Maharashtra to the fullest extent possible. The film collected a mammoth Rs. 32 crores nett on Wednesday, which is almost on par with the opening day number (Rs. 33 crores nett).
Apart from the first weekend, it is tough for any film to match its opening day numbers but Chhaava has torn the box office apart and breached into the all-time top 6 first Wednesday grossers of Bollywood. The movie has also entered the Rs. 200 crore nett club at the domestic box office within six days of release.
At this momentum, Chhaava is poised for a finish in the north of Rs. 400 crores nett. By this weekend, Chhaava is set to emerge as Vicky’s solo highest-grosser, beating Uri. Directed by Laxman Utekar, this unsung warrior saga features Akshaye Khanna and Rashmika Mandanna in vital roles.
