Chhaava wordwide box office collection

According to Bollywood Hungama, Chhaava collected ₹24 crore nett in India on its eighth day, Friday. This takes the film’s domestic net collection to ₹249 crore. Uri’s domestic collection was ₹244 crore. Chhaava has performed well overseas as well, collecting just over $5.3 million outside India in 8 days, and taking its worldwide total to ₹343 crore. This just beats Uri: The Surgical Strike’s final haul of ₹342 crore, and makes Chhava Vicky Kaushal’s career’s biggest hit.

Chhaava does not seem to be showing any signs of stopping. The film performed admirably in its first week and had a great start of the second weekend. If it continues its momentum through Sunday, the film should be aiming to cross the ₹500-crore mark by its third weekend, if not earlier. This would make the film a sureshot blockbuster.

In Maharashtra, Chhaava has broken several collection records, registering 97-98% occupancy in several centres even during weekdays. Sacnilk reported that even on its second Friday, Chhaava had 81% occupancy for night shows in Pune, showing that the craze is not dying down anytime soon.
