Ahead of its release, there is a lot of excitement surrounding Vicky Kaushal's next movie, Chhaava. On February 14, the film which also features Rashmika Mandanna will be released in theaters. The historical drama Chhaava, directed by Laxman Utekar, narrates the tale of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, a heroic warrior renowned for his courage and bravery.

 

Rashmika Mandanna and Vicky Kaushal work together on film for the first time in Chhaava. Fans have been intrigued by their coupling, which has raised interest in the movie. Through a variety of events and media appearances, both actors have been aggressively promoting the movie.

Chhaava: Advance booking

The website states that 2,32,746 tickets have been sold for 8,090 shows throughout India on the first day of Chhaava. The movie is expected to open with Rs 6.7 crore, and Rs 8.42 crore including block seats. Though it might surpass the Rs 8.3 crore opening of his previous film, Bad Newz, however, it is unclear how much it would bring in on the first day.

 

For context, this year's high-profile films were Shahid Kapoor's Deva, which made Rs 5.5 crore on its first day of release, and Akshay Kumar's Sky Force, which made Rs 12.25 crore. Chhaava may be one of the largest openers of 2025 so far, as Kangana Ranaut's Emergency had an opening of only Rs 2.5 crore.
