Chhaava Crosses 200 Crore Nett in 7 Days: Vicky Kaushal and Maddock Films Strike Gold Again

Mumbai, February 20, 2025: Vicky Kaushal-starrer Chhaava has taken the box office by storm, crossing the ₹200 crore net mark in India within just seven days of its theatrical release. The historical action drama has solidified its position as a blockbuster, marking the second 200 crores net film for the actro. Additionally, Chhaava has earned its place as the 43rd Bollywood movie to achieve this coveted milestone.

Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, Chhaava has enthralled audiences with its powerful depiction of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the fearless Maratha warrior. Backed by a stellar cast including Rashmika Mandanna, Akshaye Khanna, and Ashutosh Rana, the film has delivered a knockout punch at the ticket counters, blending historical grandeur with commercial appeal.



The film’s dominance in Maharashtra has been a key driver, with theatres in Mumbai, Pune, and Nashik reporting occupancies above 90%. Midnight shows and additional screenings have become the norm to meet the unprecedented demand.

Vicky Kaushal’s Second ₹200 Crore Nett

For Vicky Kaushal, Chhaava marks his second film to breach the ₹200 crore nett barrier in India, following his 2019 war drama Uri: The Surgical Strike (₹244 crore nett). Kaushal’s portrayal of Sambhaji Maharaj has been lauded as a tour de force, cementing his status as a versatile actor with box office muscle. Having outgrossed Raazi (₹123 crore nett) and Sam Bahadur (₹91 crore nett), Chhaava could challenge Uri’s lifetime haul if its momentum persists.



Maddock Films’ Winning Streak Continues

Maddock Films, led by producer Dinesh Vijan, celebrates its second ₹200 crore nett triumph with Chhaava, hot on the heels of Stree 2’s massive success earlier in 2025. With a reported budget of ₹130 crore, the film has already turned profitable and is poised for a hefty theatrical surplus. Known for its horror-comedy universe, Maddock has now conquered the historical genre, proving its versatility and commercial acumen.

The Road Ahead

With no major releases threatening its reign shortly, Chhaava is expected to enjoy a clear run at the box office. Analysts project a potential ₹400 crore net finish in India.
