Chhaava, Vicky Kaushal’s latest and best yet, is still three cores away from finishing the 400 crore race. Chhaava is Vicky Kaushal’s first film to have earned more than 300 crores at the box office. It is the first film in India to fly past 500 crores in worldwide collections.
Fans and movie lovers expected Chhaava to hit 400 crores by the end of week 2. It is disappointing to see Chhaava fail in this regard; nevertheless, people are cheering and eagerly waiting for the celebratory moment.
Box Office Collection Status Till Date
Chhaava was released on 14th February, and after 15 days of its journey in theatres, the movie’s earnings are estimated to be around ₹ 397.92 crores (all languages). Yesterday, Chhaava collected 12 crores. Sachnilk has already released a number for today’s collection 0.06 crores (Early estimates).
The worldwide collection, unlike the swift Indian theatres, is moving slowly but surely. Compared to the last numbers, Chhava has added 40 crores to its bag. This brings the total to 540 crores in worldwide collections. These numbers may soon surpass Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor’s Padmavat, whose worldwide collections grossed 571 crores.

Chhaava’s impact on Netizens and Students
Since its release, every alternate post on social media has been about Chhaava. People were either digging deeper into the history of the Maratha empire or raising questions about their history books. They ask why schools never taught them about the sacrifices of the Maratha empire and focused more on the Mughals and the British.
Students’ and netizens’ demand to revise history books and include the history of the Maratha empire, and other Indian rulers that have been on the rise. Many users were tagging the Ministry of Education under these posts, urging and imploring them to recognize the significance of printing Indian history in school books.
Vicky Kaushal, the lead role in Chhaava, also agrees that Indian history shouldn’t be left unseen. At a promotional event, he said that every child in every household must know what the Maratha kings did to save India. He said this knowledge shouldn’t be limited to the kids in Maharashtra.
The Story and Cast of Chhaava
Chhaava is the life of the second ruler of the Maratha Empire- Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. The movie was based on the book Chhaava written by Shivaji Savant. Vicky Kaushal plays the role of the Maratha ruler, while Rashmika Mandanna plays the role of his wife, Yesubai Bhonsale.
