Chhaava Box Office Day 1: Vicky Kaushal's Biggest Opener To Highest Valentine's Grosser, Records Broken By Historical Drama

Chhaava Box Office Collections: The Vicky Kaushal starrer hit the big screens on February 14, coinciding with Valentine's Day. The film was originally scheduled to release on December 4, 2024, but was postponed to avert a clash with Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2. Following its release, the historical drama received a bumper opening at the box office. The Laxman Utekar directorial received a roaring response on day 1 breaking several records.

Chhaava becomes Bollywood's highest opener of the year 

2025 began with a gloomy start for the Hindi film industry. New releases like Deva, Emergency, Azaad, Fateh and Sky Force failed to leave a lasting impression at the box office despite much anticipation for them. However, the industry seems to have bounced back with the Vicky Kaushal starrer. Chhaava opened to a staggering ₹31 crore, surpassing Akshay Kumar, Veer Pahariya's Sky Force (₹12.25 cr) to become the highest Hindi opener of the year.
