Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava has broken box office records, becoming the largest blockbuster in Maharashtra. The Sambhaji Maharaj life story-based film has stormed the box office, crossing ₹685 crores globally. The audience has welcomed this historical epic with massive enthusiasm, and the collections of the film are still on the rise.
Chhaava’s remarkable performance in Maharashtra has now surpassed records held by Baahubali 2 and Pushpa 2. It has become the top-grossing film in the state, something that was almost unthinkable prior to its release.
Chhaava Surpasses Pushpa 2 to Become Maharashtra’s Biggest Blockbuster
For several years, Baahubali 2 was the first to break ₹200 crores in Maharashtra and held the industry standard. But Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 has surpassed this benchmark just recently, with the film raking in ₹250 crores in the state and opening a new milestone.
And now, Chhaava has turned history by surpassing Pushpa 2. The movie has already collected ₹260 crores in Maharashtra and has become the top-grossing film ever in the state. Experts expect the final collections of the film to cross ₹300 crores, and thus, it becomes the first movie to do so in Maharashtra.
Maharashtra Drives Chhaava’s Massive Success
Maharashtra has been instrumental in Chhaava’s record-breaking success. Maharashtra has accounted for almost half of the film’s overall Indian collections, demonstrating its enormous local popularity. There are a number of reasons why the film has broken all records in Maharashtra:
- High Cultural and Historical Relevance – Chhaava tells the inspiring story of Sambhaji Maharaj, who was the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, making it highly relevant to Maharashtra’s history.
- Historic Audience Support – Fans have swarmed into theatres in record numbers from the first day itself, guaranteeing houseful shows.
- Word of Mouth – The audience has complimented Vicky Kaushal’s outstanding performance, the film’s stunning visuals, and its heart-wrenching storytelling.
The response has been so overwhelming that several theatres have increased the number of screenings to meet public demand. Single-screen cinemas and multiplexes alike have witnessed extraordinary footfalls, proving the film’s universal appeal.
Telugu Audiences Welcome Chhaava with Open Arms
Although Maharashtra continues to be Chhaava’s largest market, the movie has also been surprisingly successful in the Telugu-speaking areas. The South Indian people have taken a liking to the film, and collections in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have surpassed expectations.
Baahubali and RRR’s success set the stage for historical epics to become popular nationwide, and Chhaava has ridden this wave. The high-scale filmmaking, entertaining plot, and strong performances of the movie have catapulted it to a pan-India phenomenon.
Chhaava vs. Pushpa 2: A Battle of Box Office Giants
Pushpa 2 was predicted to sweep the box office in 2024, considering the unparalleled mania over Allu Arjun’s comeback as Pushpa Raj. The success of the film in Maharashtra showcased the growing clout of Tollywood over the Hindi-speaking population.
Yet, Chhaava’s success has left everyone in shock, and it shows that a well-made historical film can go up against a high-adrenaline action entertainer. That a Hindi movie has defeated a mass-action Telugu franchise at the box office in Maharashtra is a landmark victory for Bollywood.
Chhaava’s success over Pushpa 2 in the Maharashtra box office is a strong message. It establishes that content-based movies with rich emotional appeal can register gigantic commercial success.
Will Chhaava Cross ₹1000 Crores Worldwide?
Having ₹685 crores already in the bank, analysts think that Chhaava can make it to the ₹1000 crore club. Some reasons might drive the film towards this coveted milestone:
- Sustained Maharashtra Box Office Performance – The film keeps performing well in Maharashtra, which means long-term success.
- Repeat Audience Factor – People are watching the film again and again, boosting ticket sales.
- Strong Foreign Reception – Historical movies have broad international appeal, and Chhaava’s collections in the US, UK, Canada, and UAE are still strong.
If the movie keeps up its pace, it might become one of the highest-grossing films of Bollywood’s history.
Why Is Chhaava a Milestone Film?
Chhaava not only won box office fame but also provided a new direction for Bollywood. A number of factors make it a milestone film in the industry:
- A Welcome Change from Traditional Bollywood Movies – Chhaava demonstrates that people prefer robust stories to formulaic entertainers.
- Revival of Historical Epics – The success of the movie can lead to more historical movies inspired by Indian history and culture.
- Vicky Kaushal Becomes a Superstar – His strong performance as Sambhaji Maharaj has solidified his position as one of the top actors in Indian cinema.
