After conquering the Hindi-speaking regions, Vicky Kaushal¡¯s magnum opus Chhaava is set to make waves in Telugu. The period drama, based on Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, drops in Telugu on March 7, following massive fan demand. With its unstoppable box office run, the film is inching towards the ?200-crore club.
The legend of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj is too big to be contained in just one language! After Chhaava set the Hindi box office on fire, fans in the Telugu-speaking belt demanded a dubbed version, and guess what? Their wishes have been granted! The film, starring Vicky Kaushal in a career-defining role, is all set to release in Telugu on March 7.
When Chhaava hit theatres on February 14, it was clear that this wasn¡¯t just another period drama, it was a movement. The audiences were hooked, the critics were impressed, and the box office? Oh, it was thriving. With no real competition in sight, Chhaava has been enjoying a solo run, pulling in massive numbers and proving that historical sagas still hold a special place in people¡¯s hearts.
The Telugu craze for Chhaava
From the moment the film dropped, social media was buzzing with requests for a Telugu version. Fans bombarded the makers, and Maddock Films finally gave in. They made it official with a power-packed announcement, featuring Vicky Kaushal as the fierce warrior king. The caption confirmed that the film¡¯s Telugu release was happening ¡°by popular demand,¡± making it clear that audiences weren¡¯t just asking, they were demanding.
The Telugu release is being handled by Geetha Arts Distribution, a powerhouse known for delivering massive hits in the region. Given the success of historical and action-packed films in Telugu cinema, Chhaava is expected to find a whole new set of fans who love their heroes fiercely and their battles grandly.
Box office domination continues for Chhaava
Even as it enters its 20th day, Chhaava isn¡¯t slowing down. The drama is proving to be a total money-minting machine. After smashing a solid Rs 31 crore on its opening day, the film went full throttle, collecting Rs 219.25 crore in its first week and Rs 180.25 crore in its second.
Even in its third week, Chhaava is showing zero signs of slowing down! It bagged Rs 13 crore on Friday, Rs 22 crore on Saturday, and Rs 24.25 crore on Sunday. The momentum dipped slightly on weekdays but still held strong¡ªRs 7.75 crore on Monday, Rs 5.4 crore on Tuesday, and Rs 5.75 crore on Wednesday.
As of its 20th day, the film has racked up a whopping Rs 477.65 crore at the Indian box office, according to Sacnilk. And at this rate, it¡¯s all set to storm past the Rs 500 crore milestone by the weekend.
