The historical action film ‘Chhaava’ had a fantastic start in Telugu states, grossing ₹14 crore. Despite being released three weeks after its Hindi version, the Chhaava has performed well, and trade experts forecast a good hold over the next weekend as well.
However, the delayed Telugu release limited its full potential because many viewers in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana had already seen the Hindi version. A simultaneous release may have generated even better box office statistics.
On the national level, ‘Chhaava’ has been a huge hit. The Hindi version earned ₹500 crore nett in India during its four-week run, for a total of ₹600 crore in gross. The film succeeded well abroad, earning almost ₹100 crore from global markets.
With a worldwide total of around ₹715 crore as of March 13, ‘Chhaava’ is steadily marching towards the ₹750 crore mark in its full run. Given its strong hold at the box office, the film is expected to add more to its impressive collection in the coming weeks, solidifying its status as a blockbuster.
