Vicky Kaushal’s latest cinematic offering, Chhaava, has taken the box office by storm, cementing its place as one of the biggest hits of the year. Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Maddock Films, this historical drama has not only captivated audiences but also achieved a remarkable milestone by entering the coveted Rs 100 crore club within just three days of its release. With a total domestic collection of Rs 116.5 crore by Day 3, Chhaava has dominated the weekend box office, showcasing Vicky Kaushal’s star power and the film’s widespread appeal.
A Blockbuster Opening
Chhaava kicked off its theatrical run with a bang, earning an impressive Rs 31 crore on its opening day. The film’s strong start set the stage for a phenomenal weekend, as positive word of mouth and glowing reviews propelled its collections further. On Day 2, the film saw a significant jump, raking in Rs 37 crore, and by Day 3, it added another Rs 48.50 crore to its tally. This brought the total domestic net collection to Rs 116.5 crore, making Chhaava one of the highest-grossing films of 2024 so far.
Audience Reception and Theatre Occupancy
The film’s success is further highlighted by its excellent theatre occupancy rates. According to Sacnilk, Chhaava witnessed robust turnout across all time slots, with evening shows recording the highest occupancy. The detailed breakdown for Day 3 is as follows:
- Morning Shows: 49.82%
- Afternoon Shows: 67.46%
- Evening Shows: 72.95%

The consistent growth in occupancy reflects the film’s strong connection with audiences and its ability to draw crowds even on weekdays.
A Career Milestone for Vicky Kaushal
Chhaava is proving to be a defining moment in Vicky Kaushal’s career. The film has already surpassed the lifetime collections of some of his recent releases and is on track to become one of his highest-grossing films. As of now, Chhaava stands as his third-biggest Hindi net collection film, trailing behind Uri: The Surgical Strike (Rs 244.14 crore) and Raazi (Rs 123.74 crore).
