Chhaava Box Office Collection Day 1: Vicky Kaushal’s Epic Film Creates History with a Record-Breaking Opening!
Bollywood’s latest historical drama, Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna, and Akshaye Khanna, has made an earth-shattering impact at the Indian box office! The film stormed into cinemas with an incredible opening of ₹33.10 crore on its first day, setting a new benchmark for Bollywood historical films.
Directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava was expected to perform well due to strong pre-release buzz, but its stunning day 1 collection has surpassed all expectations. It has not only become the highest-opening Bollywood historical film ever but has also clinched the 11th biggest Bollywood opening in the post-COVID era, surpassing even Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki.
A Strong Opening Across India
The film’s journey began on a solid note with impressive advance bookings and strong occupancy rates from morning shows. As the day progressed, the numbers only got better.
🔹 Morning shows – Strong footfall right from the first show.
🔹 Evening shows – Occupancy touched a spectacular 66%.
🔹 Night shows – Even stronger, hitting 68% occupancy across major cities.
Such a robust performance across all time slots led Chhaava to a staggering first-day total of ₹33.10 crore.
Factors Behind the Historic Opening
1️⃣ Star Power – Vicky Kaushal’s performance, Rashmika Mandanna’s charm, and Akshaye Khanna’s gripping presence pulled audiences in.
2️⃣ Historical Epic – Bollywood’s historical dramas have a dedicated audience, and Chhaava delivered grandeur and action in full measure.
3️⃣ Word-of-Mouth – Early reactions from critics and viewers have been overwhelmingly positive, boosting late-night bookings.
4️⃣ Valentine’s Day Boost – With the film releasing just after Valentine’s Day, moviegoers flocked to cinemas, contributing to the massive figures.
Beating Dunki and Eyeing Bigger Records
Chhaava has not only outperformed Dunki in terms of opening-day collections but is also on track to enter the 100-crore club soon if its momentum continues.
With strong word-of-mouth and excellent weekend bookings, the film is expected to maintain double-digit figures over the next few days. Trade experts predict that it could cross ₹100 crore within the first weekend.
