‘Chhaava’ Day 35 Box Office Collection: Vicky Kaushal Headliner Grosses Rs. 572.95 Crore In The Wake of Online Leak Scandal

Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama Chhaava is still ruling the box office, raking in a whopping Rs. 572.95 crore within its 35th day despite its initial setback because of an alleged online leak. The Laxman Utekar-directed film has become one of the highest-grossing Bollywood movies of the year, cementing Kaushal’s rising stardom and the public’s fondness for historical dramas.

Box Office Performance

The movie opened on a huge scale, grossing more than Rs. 50 crore during its opening weekend and going steady in the subsequent weeks. The powerful word-of-mouth, engaging narrative, and Vicky Kaushal’s commanding performance have also been major contributors to the movie’s box office success. Despite several new releases vying for screen space, Chhaava has continued to be the first choice for audiences in both multiplex and single screen platforms.

Impact of Online Leak

In spite of the film’s record-breaking box office figures, Chhaava was marred by an online leak scandal, which threatened its possible revenue loss. Pirated copies of the film appeared on different platforms, sparking controversies regarding the effect of digital piracy on box office collections. Yet, the controversy appears to have had no impact on its box office performance, as the film continues to mint impressive figures even in its fifth week.

Vicky Kaushal’s Career Milestone

With Chhaava, Vicky Kaushal has given another blockbuster, solidifying his status as one of the most bankable stars in Bollywood. His acting as the Maratha warrior has been universally admired by critics and audiences alike. The big budget production of the film, its engaging storyline, and Kaushal’s dramatic performance have been the major drawcards for taking audiences to cinema halls.

What’s Next for ‘Chhaava’?

With its solid box office grip, Chhaava is likely to carry on its run of success for a few more weeks, perhaps going past the Rs. 600 crore mark. The success of the film further confirms the appetite of the audience for well-crafted period dramas and paves the way for more historical movies in the future of Bollywood.

While Chhaava is basking in the success, its performance is now to be seen post-the controversy regarding the online leak. Till that time, however, Vicky Kaushal and the team can celebrate a huge victory at the box office.
