Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama Chhaava has taken the global box office by storm, emerging as the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025. With powerful performances, grand visuals, and a gripping story rooted in Indian history, the film has struck gold both in India and internationally.
Chhaava has raked in an impressive $6.4 million from 572 locations in North America alone. The U.S. contributed over $4 million (USD 40,50,137), while Canada added CAD$23,63,271 to the tally. These numbers solidify Chhaava's dominance overseas, proving Vicky Kaushal's growing global appeal.
The film has earned a staggering ₹599 crore net in India and is just a step away from entering the elite ₹600 crore club. It has already surpassed Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, which collected ₹582.31 crore, setting a new benchmark for post-pandemic box office success.
Having completed over 50 days in theatres, Chhaava continues to pull in audiences, thanks to positive word-of-mouth and repeat viewings. The film's emotional depth, paired with fantastic action moments, make it a must-see.
The film Chhaava, directed by Laxman Utekar, tells the narrative of Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The film successfully blends historical authenticity with cinematic drama, a feat few historical films have achieved.
With its domestic and international success, Chhaava isn’t just a box office hit; it’s a cultural phenomenon. As it nears even bigger milestones, it has firmly etched itself into the legacy of Indian cinema.
