Chhaava advance booking Day 1 detailed report: Vicky Kaushal film to open on a rebel note at box office

Actor Vicky Kaushal’s latest film, Chhaava, has begun its advance booking on a good note. The film is releasing in theatres on February 14, and is selling tickets fast. As of 6 pm on Monday, the Laxman Utekar-directorial sold over 1 lakh tickets for its opening day at the box office.

The film has already grossed around Rs 3.1 crore and Rs 4.25 crore with block seats, as reported by the trade website Sacnilk. Chhaava has sold its maximum tickets in the Hindi 2D version, and the major part of its business is coming from Maharashtra. That is understandable considering the film explores the life and valour of Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.

While many reports claim that it has already gone past the pre-sales business of Stree 2 for its opening day, there’s no official data justifying the same. Chhaava, however, seems to be on a path to registering the best opening for a Hindi film this year. However, there are three more days of advance booking to determine that.

In Chhaava, while Vicky plays the lead role, actor Rashmika Mandanna joins him in the role of queen Yesubai, and Akshaye Khanna plays the role of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Ashutosh Rana, Divya Dutta and Diana Penty are other actors seen in important roles.

The film is produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films. It is one of the most anticipated period dramas this year.
