Laxman Utekar’s directorial venture, Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, has taken the box office by storm, setting new benchmarks for Bollywood releases in 2025. Released on February 14, the historical action film, based on the life of Maratha Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, amassed an impressive Rs. 121.43 crore in its opening weekend. Chhaava’s performance is particularly noteworthy in Maharashtra, where it has shattered existing records. The film’s portrayal of a revered Maratha warrior resonated deeply with local audiences, leading to packed theatres and unprecedented box office figures in the region.
Comparatively, Chhaava has outperformed other major releases of 2025. Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force garnered Rs. 73.20 crore in its opening weekend, while Game Changer and Deva collected Rs. 19.95 crore and Rs. 19.43 crore, respectively. Chhaava’s Rs. 121.43 crore haul not only surpasses these figures but also establishes it as the highest-grossing Bollywood film of the year so far. The film’s success isn’t confined to Maharashtra alone. In North India, Chhaava has posted impressive numbers, with key centers like NCR, Ahmedabad, and Surat witnessing strong occupancies over the weekend. The film’s appeal extended to other territories as well, with cities like Hyderabad and Bengaluru contributing significantly to its overall earnings.
