March 4, 2025: Bollywood’s latest historical spectacle, Chhaava, is rewriting the record books! Starring Vicky Kaushal as the fearless Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the film has taken the box office by storm, amassing a colossal ₹467 crore in just 18 days. This feat officially places it among India’s top 11 highest-grossing films of all time, surpassing some of the biggest cinematic blockbusters.
The New Box Office Titan Chhaava: Beating Baahubali & Salaar
The numbers speak for themselves—Chhaava has outperformed SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Beginning (₹421 crore), Shankar’s 2.0 (₹407 crore), and Prabhas-starrer Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire (₹406.45 crore). Its meteoric rise signals a new era in Bollywood’s box office dynamics, proving that historical epics still have a stronghold over Indian audiences.
Why Vicky Kaushal’s latest movie is Winning Big
Multiple factors have propelled Chhaava to its phenomenal success:
✅ Vicky Kaushal’s Stellar Performance – His gripping portrayal of Sambhaji Maharaj has been a major crowd-puller.
✅ Laxman Utekar’s Direction – Known for Mimi and Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, Utekar brings history to life with a compelling narrative.
✅ Strong Regional and Global Appeal – Maharashtra’s deep connection to Maratha history has driven massive footfalls, while the film’s overseas collections—especially in North America, where it has crossed $5 million—have added to its blockbuster status.
Telugu Release Set to Boost Numbers Further
With a growing demand for the film in South India, the makers have released a Telugu trailer ahead of the film’s March 7 release in the region. This move is expected to give Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika’s movie another big push, further strengthening its domestic box office dominance.
Powerhouse Supporting Cast
Beyond Kaushal’s commanding lead role, the movie boasts an impressive supporting cast:
🎭 Akshaye Khanna as Emperor Aurangzeb – A riveting antagonist performance.
🎭 Rashmika Mandanna as Yesubai – Bringing depth and emotion to the historical drama.
🎭 Viineet Kumar Singh as Kavi Kalash – A strong presence in the film’s gripping narrative.
What’s Next for Chhaava?
With its unstoppable momentum, Vicky Kaushal’s latest outing is well-positioned to climb higher in India’s box office rankings. Will it enter the top 10 soon? At this rate, it’s only a matter of time
