Maintains 5 crore+ streak!
Twenty-one days in theatres, but Laxman Utekar’s directorial has not fallen below the five crore mark yet. Isn’t that impressive? On the third Thursday, Chhaava earned 5.51 crores at the Indian box office. It witnessed around 11% drop compared to 6.19 crores earned on the previous day.
The three-week total now concludes at 496.40 crores. Vicky Kaushal is now only 3.60 crores away from unlocking the 500 crore club, his first ever. This will also be the second 500 crore grosser for Maddock Films after Stree 2.

Week 1: 225.28 crores
Week 2: 186.18 crores
Week 3: 84.94 crores
Total: 496.40 crores
Second-highest Week 3 in Hindi cinema
Laxman Utekar’s directorial has surpassed Pathaan, Jawan, Stree 2, and every Bollywood film to score the highest Week 3 collections in Bollywood. It also surpassed the collections made by Baahubali 2 in Hindi in its third week – 69.75 crores.
But Chhaava failed to surpass Allu Arjun‘s blockbuster, Pushpa 2: The Rule, which accumulated a whopping 107.75 crores in its Week 3. It is, in fact, the only film to have earned 100 crore+.
