It is uncommon for films to screen as late as 1:30 am. Notable past films that have received similar late-night slots include Drishyam 2, Jawan, Pathaan, Animal, Stree 2, Shaitaan, and Sooryavanshi. Among female-led films, Gangubai Kathiawadi is the only one to have secured post-midnight shows. In Hollywood, films such as Oppenheimer and Avatar: The Way of Water have also achieved this feat.Interestingly, all Hindi films that have previously received post-midnight screenings have featured established superstars in leading roles. Chhaava marks a significant milestone as it is the first film to achieve this honor with an emerging superstar like Vicky Kaushal at the helm.
The film’s appeal is further amplified by the deep admiration of the people of Maharashtra for Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, whose life story is portrayed in the film. Chhaava made a remarkable opening in India, grossing Rs. 33.10 crores on its release day, February 14. With its current momentum, the film is projected to easily surpass the Rs. 100 crore mark within its opening weekend, solidifying its status as a major box office success.
