Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama “Chhaava,” directed by Laxman Utekar, has completed five remarkable weeks at the box office, crossing an impressive domestic collection of ₹572.95 crore after a 35-day run. Despite facing hurdles like an online leak, the film continues to hold strong, eyeing the ₹600 crore mark in the coming days.
Steady Run at the Box Office
According to Sacnilk, “Chhaava” raked in ₹2.35 crore on its fifth Thursday, experiencing a slight dip compared to the earlier weekdays, where it maintained a steady collection of ₹2.65 crore from Monday to Wednesday. The film has consistently performed well, outshining several box office giants along its journey.

Tough Competition and Upcoming Releases
“Chhaava” has not only maintained its dominance but also overshadowed John Abraham’s “The Diplomat,” released on March 14, 2025. While “The Diplomat” had a solid opening weekend, it couldn’t match the powerhouse performance of Kaushal’s historical epic.
However, the competition is expected to heat up with the release of Disney’s “Snow White” this week and Salman Khan’s highly anticipated “Sikandar” hitting screens next week. The box office dynamics are bound to shift as these films enter the fray.
Online Leak and Legal Action
Despite its soaring success, “Chhaava” faced a major setback with a recent online leak. Authorities have registered a case under CR No. 23/2025, invoking multiple laws, including Sections 316(2) and 308(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Sections 51, 63, and 65A of the Copyright Act, Section 6AA of the Cinematograph Act (1952, amended in 2023), and Sections 43 and 66 of the Information Technology Act. The leak, linked to 1,818 illegal sources, has sparked outrage and urgent legal action.
What Lies Ahead?
As “Chhaava” marches forward, its remarkable run at the box office remains a testament to the film’s gripping storytelling and Vicky Kaushal’s stellar performance. Whether it crosses the ₹600 crore milestone amid rising competition remains to be seen, but for now, “Chhaava” stands tall as a cinematic triumph.
