Although Chhaava’s total domestic nett (Rs 585.1 crore) is just Rs 12.89 crore shy of Stree 2 (Rs 597.99 crore), it only has two more days left before being hit by the Empuraan toofan, which has already shattered multiple pre-sales records in the country. While Empuraan hits the screens on Thursday, Sikandar is set for release on Sunday, further reducing Chhaava’s chances of survival. With the Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer’s overseas collection stuck at a modest Rs 90.50 crore — bringing its global total to Rs 785.5 crore — it is also certain that the movie won’t be able to surpass the worldwide gross of the Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor-starrer (Rs 857.15 crore).

On Monday, Chhaava recorded an overall occupancy rate of 8.15 per cent in the Hindi market. The morning shows started with 5.35 per cent occupancy and the rate kept improving, though nominally, as the day progressed, rising to 8.75 per cent in the afternoon, 8.83 per cent in the evening and peaking at 9.67 per cent during night screenings.

Based on the life of Sambhaji Maharaj, the second ruler of the Maratha Empire, Chhaava is the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025. In her review of the movie, SCREEN’s Shubhra Gupta wrote: “The torture porn in the climax of Vicky Kaushal’s film reminds you of the systematic flaying of Jesus in ‘The Passion of Christ’.”
