Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama ‘Chhaava’ refuses to back down. Even after completing a month of theatrical release, the film stands as an unbeatable champion at the box office. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film minted more than Rs 22 crore in its fifth weekend, bringing its total collection to Rs 562.65 crore.
According to the Sacnilk report, the movie, after collecting Rs. 7.25 Cr (Hindi: Rs 6.5 Cr; Telugu: Rs 0.75 Cr) on its fifth Friday, saw a rise of around 8 percent and made Rs. 7.9 crore (Hindi: Rs 7.25 Cr; Telugu: Rs 0.65 Cr) on the fifth Saturday. Thereafter, on Sunday, with a minimal growth, the film collected Rs. 8 crore (Hindi: Rs 7.25 Cr; Telugu: Rs 0.75 Cr), taking the film’s total collection in India net to Rs 562.65 Cr (Hindi: Rs. 548.7 Cr; Telugu: Rs 13.95 Cr).
