Vicky Kaushal's period epic Chhaava was released in theatres on Valentine's Day amid much hype. The film by Laxman Utekar is the biopic of Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and has been made on a massive scale.

Chhaava box office prediction: Vicky Kaushal film will take a strong start.

Chhaava box office prediction

Chhaava sold close to 5 lakh tickets across India in advance booking for its opening day, trade tracker Sacnilk reported. This gave the film a final advance booking gross of ₹13.79 crore, one of the highest in Bollywood in recent times. Trade insiders estimate that the film should easily cross the ₹20 crore mark at the box office on Friday and even hope to touch the ₹22 crore mark in net domestic collections. This would make Chaava the biggest opener in 2025 so far, beating Sky Force's ₹15.30 crore opening day haul.

The records Chhaava is set to break

According to sources, by noon, Chhaava had collected ₹6 crore net across India. The numbers will only increase as the day progresses and get a boost in the evening owing to Valentine's Day. As trends stand, Chhaava will easily become Vicky Kaushal's biggest opener ever, beating the ₹8.20 crore mark of Uri: The Surgical Strike.

But more than just a personal landmark for Vicky, Chhaava may set an industry standard too. Gully Boy holds the record for the highest collection by a Bollywood film on Valentine's Day. The Ranveer Singh-starrer earned ₹19.40 crore net in 2019. Chhaava is almost certain to pass that and may just beat it quite comfortably.
