Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna’s much-awaited historical drama, "Chhaava," is making waves even before its release. The film, directed by Laxman Utekar, is one of the most significant releases of the year, and the audience’s excitement is evident in its impressive advance booking numbers. Scheduled to hit theaters on February 14, Valentine’s Day, the film is expected to have a grand opening at the box office.

Massive Advance Booking for Chhaava

Reports indicate that "Chhaava" has already raked in crores from advance bookings. With over 2 lakh tickets sold ahead of its release, this historical action drama, produced under the Maddock Films banner, is set for a strong start at the box office.

Lakhs of Tickets Sold Before Release

The advance booking for "Chhaava" began on February 8, and within a few days, the film has sold over 2.32 lakh tickets for its first-day shows in India. Based on these numbers, the film’s opening day collection is projected to be around ₹6.74 crore, which could increase to ₹8.42 crore once block seats are included.

If these predictions hold true, "Chhaava" could surpass the opening of "Bad News," which earned ₹8.3 crore on its first day. However, the final box office numbers are yet to be confirmed.

"Chhaava" Poised for One of the Biggest Openings of 2025

The year 2025 has already seen the release of several big films, including:

  • Akshay Kumar’s "Sky Force" – ₹12.25 crore opening
  • Shahid Kapoor’s "Deva" – ₹5.5 crore opening
  • Kangana Ranaut’s "Emergency" – ₹2.5 crore opening

With its strong advance booking trends, "Chhaava" is likely to join the ranks of the biggest opening films of the year and possibly exceed expectations.

What is "Chhaava" About?

Directed by Laxman Utekar, "Chhaava" is a historical drama based on the life of Maratha king Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The film is inspired by the Marathi novel "Chhava" by Shivaji Sawant, which narrates the heroic and turbulent life of Sambhaji Maharaj.

  • Vicky Kaushal plays the role of King Sambhaji Maharaj
  • Rashmika Mandanna portrays Maharani Yesubai
  • Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, and Divya Dutta play crucial supporting roles

The film promises a power-packed historical action-drama, bringing to life the legacy of the Maratha empire with intense battle sequences and emotional depth.

With its strong pre-release buzz and record-breaking advance bookings, "Chhaava" is all set to make a grand impact at the box office when it releases on February 14.
