Vicky Kaushal’s historical epic ‘Chhaava’ continues its dream run at the box office, even after 36 days of its theatrical release. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has struck a chord with audiences across India — and its box office figures reflect just that.
36 Days In, Still Earning Crores
Released on 14 February 2025, Chhaava has not only impressed critics but has also created a storm at the domestic box office. According to early estimates from Sacnilk, the film earned approximately ₹2.10 crore on Day 36 (Friday), taking its total collection to ₹574.95 crore in India alone. Final figures are expected to be slightly higher.
With this, Chhaava has firmly cemented its place among the top 3 highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time.
