Vicky Kaushal in ‘Chhaava’.
After collecting ₹ 310.50 crore at the box office globally in its first week, Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaavahas surpassed the actor’s previous highest grosser, Uri: The Surgical Strike. Here are five records set by the historical drama.
‘Chhaava’ goes past ‘Uri’
According to tracking website Sacnilk, the film has amassed a worldwide total of ₹ 343 crore, eight days since its release. Uri: The Surgical Strike, which released in 2019, had collected ₹ 342 crore.
Vicky Kaushal’s most successful film
Chhaava, directed by Laxman Utekar, has now become Vicky Kaushal’s most successful film yet. The historical drama also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna.
Second only to ‘Pushpa 2’
Continuing its strong run, Chhaava registered a ticket sale of 708K on its second Friday, the most for any Indian film in 2025, according to Koimoi. In the last one year, only Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule has had a better number (783K). Chhaava collected ₹ 24.03 crore in India on the eighth day.

200 crore club
By crossing the ₹ 200-crore mark in the first week, the film has become the ninth fastest Bollywood movie to achieve the milestone.
Highest-grossing Indian film so far
In terms of worldwide collections, Chhaava has sped past Sky Force, Game Changer and the Telugu film Sankranthiki Vasthunam.
Chhaava has put Vicky Kaushal’s career back on track. The actor had featured in a couple of average affairs at the box office such as Bad Newz, Zara Hatke Bachke and The Great Indian Family.
Though criticised by some as long and overloud, as well as historically slanted, the film’s success is being interpreted as a much-needed boost to the struggling Hindi film industry, which has fallen behind its southern counterparts in delivering consistent blockbusters in recent years.
