Vicky Kaushal is exceeding expectations with his Valentine’s Day 2025 release, Chhaava. The film has already recouped its production budget and is on track to become the first hit of Bollywood this year. As of now, the box office trends indicate a tremendous boost in ticket sales, particularly on day six of its release.

Impressive Morning Occupancy

Despite being a regular working Tuesday, Chhaava recorded an impressive morning occupancy of 18.19%. The film is particularly resonating with audiences in Maharashtra, thanks to its compelling narrative centered around Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the second ruler of the Maratha Empire. Coincidentally, today marks Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, which has contributed to increased footfall in theaters. According to Sacnilk, the occupancy rate soared to 34.04% on day six, indicating an 87% increase in admissions compared to the previous day. This upward trend is expected to continue, especially during the evening shows, setting the stage for another successful day at the box office.

Surging Ticket Sales

Since 6 AM today, Chhaava has already sold an impressive 1.90 lakh tickets on the online booking platform BookMyShow. By 2 PM, ticket sales had reached 1.46 lakh, representing nearly 30% more sales compared to the previous day.

Heading Towards 30 Crore+

Under the direction of Laxman Utekar, Chhaava is on a rampage, with numerous “fast selling” and “sold out” shows across major national chains in Maharashtra. If this momentum continues, Vicky Kaushal’s epic historical action drama is poised to cross the 30 crore mark today, closely matching its impressive opening day collection of 31.30 crore.

With this trajectory, Chhaava is set to enter the 200 crore club, making it the first Bollywood film of 2025 to achieve this milestone. Fans and industry insiders alike are eagerly watching its box office journey unfold. Stay tuned to know more only with us and if you have anything to share, do comment below and share your thoughts.
