Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama, Chhaava, has achieved a remarkable milestone at the Indian box office. After 40 days in theaters, the film has amassed an impressive ₹584.52 crore in net collections, surpassing Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, which stood at ₹584 crore. This achievement positions Chhaava as the third highest-grossing Hindi film to date.
Consistent Performance at the Box Office
Despite being in its sixth week, Chhaava continues to draw audiences. The film garnered ₹10.05 crore over its sixth weekend, outperforming Pushpa 2‘s ₹6 crore but trailing behind Stree 2‘s ₹14.32 crore for the same period. On the sixth Monday, it earned ₹1.70 crore, followed by ₹1.22 crore on Tuesday. These figures highlight the film’s enduring appeal and consistent box office performance.
Approaching the ₹600 Crore Milestone
With its current trajectory, Chhaava is inching closer to the ₹600 crore mark. However, the upcoming release of Salman Khan’s Sikandar this Sunday is expected to impact its earnings. Industry experts anticipate that the new release will divert audience attention, potentially hindering Chhaava‘s momentum.
Top 10 Highest-Grossing Hindi Films (Net Collections):
- Pushpa 2 – ₹836.09 crore
- Stree 2 – ₹627.50 crore
- Chhaava – ₹584.52 crore
- Jawan – ₹584 crore
- Gadar 2 – ₹525.50 crore

- Baahubali 2 – ₹511 crore

Chhaava‘s success is particularly noteworthy given its modest pre-release expectations. The film’s compelling narrative and Vicky Kaushal’s performance have resonated with audiences, contributing to its sustained box office run. While the ₹600 crore milestone remains within reach, the impending release of Sikandar may influence its final tally. Nonetheless, Chhaava has firmly established itself as a blockbuster, exceeding industry projections and solidifying Vicky Kaushal’s status as a leading actor in Bollywood.
