Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Chhaava’ Hits the Box Office with a Strong Start! Experts Anticipate Impressive Numbers
According to Sacnilk, ‘Chhaava’ has already amassed ₹8.79 crores gross from pre-release ticket sales within the domestic market. Including block bookings, the total reaches ₹11.29 crores, with advance bookings surpassing 3.07 lakh tickets. Notably, approximately 2 lakh tickets were sold within the first 48 hours of the advance booking window, suggesting a robust opening.
In an interview with PTI, trade analyst Taran Adarsh discussed the competition between ‘Chhaava’ and ‘Captain America: Brave New World.’ He expressed greater excitement for ‘Chhaava,’ highlighting its basis in the life story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and the involvement of Vicky Kaushal, Maddock Films, and director Laxman Utekar, who has a strong track record. Adarsh anticipates that the film could achieve an opening collection of ₹25-30 crores nett or possibly more based on advance ticket sales.
Furthermore, Ramesh Bala, a trade expert, and theatre owner Vishek Chauhan shared insights on box office expectations and potential obstacles. Chauhan mentioned that ‘Chhaava’ should aim for an opening between ₹12-15 crores on its first day but cautioned that predictions are still premature. He noted that while Vicky Kaushal is a significant draw, the current advance sales do not indicate an exceptional opening. A clearer picture might emerge by Thursday.
Ramesh Bala echoed these sentiments regarding pre-sale figures and expected opening numbers, projecting a double-digit opening for the first day, likely between ₹10-15 crores. Both experts emphasized that Maharashtra is a key market for the film, given its focus on a Maratha warrior. They indicated that a strong opening could lead to impressive box office collections, with audience word-of-mouth also playing a crucial role. Bala concluded, “If it opens well, it could range between ₹40-50 crores. However, we will need to monitor audience reactions throughout the week.”
In ‘Chhaava,’ Vicky Kaushal is joined by Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna. The film is directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under the Maddock Films banner.

Mumbai: Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has responded to being called a “flop actor” in the upcoming film Welcome to The Jungle. He said the dialogue should be understood as part of the movie and not taken personally.
Speaking at the trailer launch event in Mumbai, Akshay explained that such dialogues are written to suit the story and the character. He said audiences should view them in the context of the film.
“We are not told to use such dialogues as taunts. When you watch a movie, you should understand it according to the character and the story. Thank you for feeling bad about it, but please do not take it so seriously,” Akshay said.
The trailer of Welcome To The Jungle runs for more than four minutes and features a mix of comedy, action, and adventure. Unlike the earlier films in the franchise, the story is set in a jungle.
Akshay plays a struggling actor who is trying to revive his career after a series of unsuccessful films. His fortunes appear to improve when he gets a new film opposite a successful actress, played by Jacqueline Fernandez.
However, the film shoot turns into a real-life adventure when the crew reaches a village near the border. The villagers mistakenly believe the actors are soldiers and ask them to protect the village from a dangerous gang led by Jackie Shroff.

The film is directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Firoz A. Nadiadwala, Rakesh Dang, and Vedant Vikaas Baali. Welcome To The Jungle is scheduled to release in theatres on June 26.
