The latest film from Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, Chhaava, has been making waves at the box office, with its impressive performance in the first few days. However, it appears that the film's momentum has slowed down a bit, with the fifth-day business seeing a decline from the previous earnings. According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Chhaava earned ₹24.50 crore on day five, taking the total to ₹165.00 crore. Although the film has managed to stay in double digits, the decline in earnings is a notable trend.

The film's opening was strong, with ₹31 crore on day one, followed by ₹37 crore on day two and ₹48.5 crore on day three. The historical film has an overall 26.12 per cent occupancy in Hindi, with the morning shows registering 18.19 per cent footfall, afternoon shows seeing 26.42 per cent footfall, and evening shows seeing 33.76 per cent footfall. Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, Chhaava is a historical action film based on the life of Maratha king Sambhaji, played by Vicky Kaushal. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai, Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb, Ashutosh Rana as Sarsenapati Hambirao Mohite, and Divya Dutta as Soyarabai.

The film's score and soundtrack album are composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil. The film is an adaptation of the Marathi novel Chhava by Shivaji Sawant. Recently, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has requested Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to declare Vicky Kaushal's latest film, Chhaava, tax-free in the state. The film's success can be attributed to its historical significance and the cinematic experience it provides to the audience.

Here are the technical specifications of the film: * Director: Laxman Utekar * Producer: Dinesh Vijan * Cast: Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna, Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, Divya Dutta * Music: A. R. Rahman * Lyrics: Irshad Kamil * Based on: Marathi novel Chhava by Shivaji Sawant The film's box office collection has been impressive, with ₹116.5 crore in India and ₹164.75 crore worldwide in just three days.

The success of Chhaava is a significant milestone for Vicky Kaushal, whose previous films had failed to make a mark at the box office. The film extends the dream run of Rashmika Mandanna, who starred in mega blockbusters such as Pushpa 2: The Rule, Animal, and Varisu. The period drama is based on the life of Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, essayed by Vicky Kaushal. Mandanna plays his wife, Yesubai. The film marked another collaboration for Vicky Kaushal and Utekar, who have previously worked on the romantic comedy Zara Hatke Zara Bachke (2023) opposite Sara Ali Khan.
