Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna starrer Chhaava is unstoppable at the box office. After a humongous opening weekend, the biographical period war drama has continued its dominance on the weekdays.
As per early estimates, _Chhaava_ raked in around Rs 25 crore yesterday and now stands with a total collection of approximately Rs 170 crore. With this, it has beaten the first Tuesday collections of biggies like Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan (Rs crore) and Yash’s KGF 2 Hindi (Rs 19.12 crore).
On the occasion of Chhatrapati Shivaji Jayanti, Chhaava is expected to do fantastic business today and enter Rs 200 crore at the box office.
Despite the arrival of Arjun Kapoor’s Mere Husband Ki Biwi this Friday, Chhaava is expected to be the first choice for cinegoers, which will help the movie to cruise past Rs 300 crore emerging as Vicky Kaushal’s highest grosser as the lead actor.
A vision that became Hindavi Swarajya, a legend who forged an empire, a legacy that lives forever! 💫
