Vicky Kaushal’s latest film, Chhaava, has created history at the box office, becoming his first-ever movie to surpass the Rs. 500 crore mark globally. Released on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2025, this Laxman Utekar directorial, featuring Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead, has seen an extraordinary run in theatres.
Chhaava took off with a phenomenal opening, especially in Maharashtra, where audiences embraced the film with immense enthusiasm. Within just a few days, the film breezed past Rs. 100 crore and continued its upward trajectory. By the end of its opening weekend, it had comfortably entered the Rs. 200 crore club. The momentum remained strong as it crossed Rs. 300 crore in its second week and Rs. 400 crore soon after. Finally, within just 22 days, Chhaava achieved the monumental feat of surpassing Rs. 500 crore, solidifying its place among the highest-grossing Hindi films.
With Chhaava’s entry into the Rs. 500 crore league, Vicky Kaushal joins the ranks of Bollywood stars such as Ranbir Kapoor, Sunny Deol, Prabhas, and Allu Arjun, each of whom has at least one film in this elite category. This achievement marks a new high in Kaushal’s career, proving his ability to headline massive box office successes.
The film’s gripping storyline, power-packed performances, and the audience’s deep connection with historical dramas have contributed to its unprecedented success. Depicting the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Chhaava has resonated strongly with viewers, especially in Maharashtra, where historical epics hold significant cultural importance.
As Chhaava continues to dominate the box office, all eyes are now on how far it can go. Can it break even more records? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—Vicky Kaushal has officially entered the big league of Bollywood superstars.
