Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava opened its grand Telugu innings on March 7, and the first-day collections have proved to be outstanding. The movie, which initially opened in Hindi theatres on February 14, generated huge excitement among Telugu viewers. A large number of film lovers from the Telugu states were eagerly awaiting its dubbed version, and their fervour has been translated into the film’s good opening-day figures.
The movie began on a decent occupancy and recorded a consistent growth in collections during the day. This growth reflects that Chhaava has been able to win over Telugu viewers despite the late release. The movie has been able to pick up momentum, and early trade reports reflect that its performance will further grow in the next few days.
Chhaava Collects ₹3 Crore Gross on Opening Day in Telugu States
The movie has grossed an estimated ₹3 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on the first day. This is remarkable for a Hindi-dubbed movie, particularly given that most Telugu viewers had already seen the Hindi version. Trade analysts opine that the Telugu version might have done even larger numbers if it had hit theaters at the same time as the Hindi version. But even with the delayed release, Chhaava has been able to draw audiences to cinemas, demonstrating its popularity across regions.
A number of factors have helped Chhaava open well in Telugu states:
- Period Action Drama Appeal: Telugu viewers have always been very interested in period dramas and action stories. Chhaava is a perfect fit for this category.
- Vicky Kaushal’s Intense Performance: His intense performance has drawn fans outside Bollywood, particularly in the South.
- Immersive Narrative and Stunning Visuals: The movie provides a compelling narrative with good production values, which is a visual delight for the viewers.
Advance Bookings and Word-of-Mouth Support Film’s Performance
Even after a great first day, Chhaava keeps picking up momentum with robust advance bookings for its second day. Key cities such as Hyderabad, Vizag, and Vijayawada have seen high occupancy levels, which is a good sign. Some theaters have already added additional shows to cope with the growing demand.
Trade analysts feel Chhaava can gross even more on its second day than on its opening day. The movie’s increasing popularity among Telugu people indicates that it will have a good weekend run. Social media chatter and positive word-of-mouth have further kept Chhaava in the minds of people, and the movie is holding on to top positions at box offices.
Can Chhaava Cross ₹10 Crore Gross Over the Weekend?
Based on the current run, Chhaava stands very likely to clock a double-digit gross collection from Telugu states over the weekend. The movie’s action-laden historical subject matter has appealed to the masses, and its success is reflected in its upper hand over its competitors.
The industry experts see that if the movie maintains this pace, it will easily touch ₹10 crore within three days. There are many factors contributing to its well-performing weekend run:
- Good Word of Mouth from the Audience: The audience has appreciated the film’s narration and visuals.
- No Big Telugu Releases to Compete With: With no big Telugu releases to dent its run, Chhaava has a clean window at the box office.
- Family and Youth Connect: The film appeals to both family audiences and youth audiences, guaranteeing steady footfalls over the weekend.
