Chhaava Box Office collection Day 33: Vicky Kaushal’s movie slows down amid row over Nagpur clashes
Chhaava's box office collection has been affected following riots in Nagpur linked to the film. Despite recent declines, it performed better than newer releases like The Diplomat.
Chhaava Box Office Collection Day 33: Chhaava's box office earnings took a hit after Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis blamed Vicky Kaushal's movie for riots in Nagpur.
Violence broke out in Nagpur’s Mahal area following a protest by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad demanding the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb.
Tensions escalated between two groups, leading to stone pelting and vehicles being torched, including those belonging to the fire brigade. Several firemen and police personnel were injured during the clashes.
Chhaava, based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, brought the Maratha King's history to the forefront and “ignited people’s anger against Aurangzeb,” Fadnavis said.
“After that (the movie), people's emotions have been reignited. The anger against Aurangzeb is being exhibited in a big way,” he said.
