Vicky Kaushal’s period drama ‘Chhaava’ continues to reign at the box office, even after its recent OTT release on Netflix. Currently, in its tenth week, the film has crossed the Rs 600 crore mark, nett, on its 66th day, becoming the third Hindi film to achieve this milestone after ‘Pushpa 2’ and ‘Stree 2’. However, unlike the other two, ‘Chhaava’ has reached this figure purely on the strength of its content, performances, and narrative, and did not benefit from the hype that the first part generated.
The film, which celebrates the bravery of Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, has earned Rs 600.10 crore on its 66th day. Despite its availability on Netflix, the audience seems to be watching the film in theatres.
Watch this monologue from ‘Chhaava’ here:
‘Chhaava’ opened to a blockbuster response, earning Rs 225.28 crore in its first week and maintained strong momentum with Rs 186.18 crore in the second week.
Upon its Netflix release, the film ranked fifth in the non-English film category, indicating its broad appeal. Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Maddock Films, ‘Chhaava’ features an ensemble cast including Rashmika Mandanna, Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, Divya Dutta, and Diana Penty. A.R. Rahman’s stirring score complements the epic narrative, enhancing the film’s impact.
