Filmmaker Laxman Utekar’s historical action drama Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna setting new benchmarks for Bollywood releases in 2025. Chhaava amassed an impressive ₹121.43 crore in its opening weekend, making it Vicky Kaushal’s highest-grossing film in this timeframe.
The movie has crossed the ₹100 crore milestone within just three days, surpassing the opening weekend records set by Uri: The Surgical Strike and Raazi. With this stellar performance, Chhaava has also outshone Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force, which earned ₹73.20 crore in its opening weekend.
Maharashtra has been a major driving force behind the film’s success, with theatres running houseful across Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur. The film has also performed exceptionally well in North India, particularly in key markets like NCR, Ahmedabad, and Surat. If Chhaava manages to sustain its momentum during weekdays, it could emerge as one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of the year. With a reported budget of ₹130 crore, the film is well on its way to becoming a major commercial success for Maddock Films.
