India-Pakistan Match Impacts Earnings, But Film Stays Strong
Vicky Kaushal’s historical action drama Chhaava continues its impressive box office run, crossing Rs 326.75 crore in just ten days. However, Sunday’s earnings saw a slight dip, largely due to the India-Pakistan Champions Trophy 2025 match. Still, the film managed to pull in Rs 40 crore worldwide on Day 10, keeping its blockbuster status intact.
Weekend Surge Followed by a Minor Sunday Slip
The second weekend for Chhaava started on a high note. The film earned Rs 23.5 crore on Friday, followed by a massive 87.23 percent spike on Saturday, raking in Rs 44 crore. But Sunday’s collections slowed down slightly, settling at Rs 40 crore.
One sentence to break the flow.
Even with this minor decline, the film comfortably crossed the Rs 300 crore mark, making it Vicky Kaushal’s first solo-led project to achieve this milestone. His previous highest-grossing film, Sanju, surpassed Rs 300 crore, but he played a supporting role in that one.
Rashmika Mandanna’s Third Consecutive Blockbuster
For Rashmika Mandanna, Chhaava is another feather in her cap. The actress, who has already tasted success with Pushpa 2 and Animal, now has a third Rs 300 crore club film in her filmography.
A one-line paragraph for readability.
This performance cements her position as one of the most bankable actresses in the industry.
- Chhaava collected Rs 219.25 crore in its first week.
- The second-weekend earnings stood at Rs 107.5 crore.
- Despite the India-Pakistan match, Sunday saw Rs 40 crore in revenue.
How Chhaava Stands Against Recent Blockbusters
To put things into perspective, here’s how Chhaava compares with other recent hits in terms of first 10-day collections:
| Film | First 10-Day Collection (Rs) |
|---|---|
| Animal | 356 crore |
| Jawan | 389 crore |
| Pushpa 2 | 415 crore |
| Chhaava | 326.75 crore |
While Chhaava is slightly behind some of these mega-blockbusters, its performance remains commendable, particularly considering the competition from major sporting events.
What’s Next for Chhaava at the Box Office?
With another full week ahead, Chhaava has strong potential to push closer to the Rs 400 crore mark. The film’s steady word-of-mouth and fan support suggest that weekday collections may hold firm.
However, upcoming releases might create some turbulence. New films entering theaters this week could split audience attention. That said, given the film’s momentum and fan base, it should continue to post solid numbers.
