Chhaava box office collection day 1: Vicky Kaushal's film has taken a good start at the ticket window.

Box office report

Trade tracker Sacnilk reported the film performed well on its first day at the box office. Chhaava earned around ₹31 crore (nett) on its first day for all languages. The film had an overall 35.17 per cent occupancy in Hindi on the opening day. This is the best opening of Vicky's career as well as the best for all Indian films in 2025.

With the total, Chhaava has become Vicky Kaushal's biggest opener ever, easily beating the ₹8.20 crore mark of Uri: The Surgical Strike. Chhaava has also become the biggest opening film of 2025 by surpassing Akshay Kumar's Sky Force, which collected ₹15.30 crore on its opening day last month.

Chhaava was also able to beat Gully Boy's 2019 mark of ₹19.40 crore to register the highest collection by an Indian film on Valentine's Day.

About the film

Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, Chhaava is a historical action film based on the life of Maratha king Sambhaji, played by Vicky Kaushal. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai, Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb, Ashutosh Rana as Sarsenapati Hambirao Mohite, and Divya Dutta as Soyarabai. It is an adaptation of the Marathi novel Chhava by Shivaji Sawant. The film’s score and soundtrack album are composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil.

According to the Hindustan Times review, Chhaava “could have been a powerful tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of Sambhaji. What stands between it and that goal, is bad editing and the excessive superherofication of the Maratha ruler. It's only in the moments where we see him humanised, where the film connects”.
