Thank you for all your love… Grateful to each and every one of you for celebrating the glory of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj,” Vicky wrote.
Vicky Kaushal's movie 'Chhaava' was released on 14 February. According to industry tracker Sacnilk.com, Chhaava collected ₹31 crore on Day 1 at the box office and an estimated ₹7.61 crore on Day 2.
Chhaava had an overall 32.91 per cent Hindi occupancy on Saturday and with this, the film's estimated India net earning stood to ₹38.61 crore.
Earlier on Friday, 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.
Chhaava has been directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films. It 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”.
