There’s no stopping Chhaava. The historical action drama has not only conquered the hearts of audiences but has also stormed into record books, emerging as Vicky Kaushal’s highest-grossing film to date. With a jaw-dropping Rs. 600.10 crore at the domestic box office, Chhaava has comfortably eclipsed the actor’s previous best and reaffirmed his stature as one of the most bankable stars of his generation.
Vicky Kaushal’s rise through the Bollywood ranks has been impressive, marked by a series of critically acclaimed performances and box office hits. But Chhaava has taken things to a whole new level — smashing records and redefining his commercial standing. To put things in perspective, here’s how Chhaava compares to Vicky’s previous top five grossers:
Vicky Kaushal’s Top 5 Highest Grossers (Domestic Box Office):
Chhaava – Rs. 600.10 crore
Uri: The Surgical Strike – Rs. 245.36 crore
Raazi – Rs. 123.84 crore
Sam Bahadur – Rs. 92.98 crore
Zara Hatke Zara Bachke – Rs. 88 crore
With Chhaava grossing over Rs. 354.74 crore more than Uri, the difference is nothing short of staggering — a 144% increase in box office earnings compared to the 2019 military drama that previously held the top spot. This not only marks Vicky’s entry into the elite Rs. 600 crore club but also showcases the sheer magnitude of the film’s popularity.
Similarly, when compared to Raazi, which earned Rs. 123.84 crore, Chhaava has outperformed the Alia Bhatt-starrer by a whopping 384%. Compared to Sam Bahadur and Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, the jumps are even more massive — with Chhaava collecting over 545% more than Sam Bahadur and over 582% more than Zara Hatke Zara Bachke.
Chhaava has proven to be a defining moment in Vicky’s career, merging his knack for powerful, emotionally grounded performances with full-scale commercial cinema. The film’s historic setting, rousing narrative, and mass appeal have struck a chord across demographics, turning it into not just a box office juggernaut but a cultural phenomenon.
Trade analysts are calling Chhaava a “career-shaping blockbuster” — the kind that elevates an actor from star to superstar. And with such a commanding lead over his previous bests, it’s clear Vicky Kaushal has entered a new league.
As the film continues to earn in its 10th week, Chhaava not only celebrates history on-screen but is also busy creating history off-screen — one crore at a time.
