The historical epic Chhava has achieved a remarkable milestone, becoming the 14th Indian film to surpass the Rs 400 crore mark in net domestic collections. At the end of 14th day the film had collected Rs 399.50 crore and till 2 PM on Friday ( 15th day) the film added another Rs 2.14 crore, thus taking the overall collection to Rs 401.64 crore. This feat cements Chhava’s place among the biggest blockbusters of Indian cinema, as it overtakes several high-profile films in the all-time list.

The Next Milestone: Entering the Top 10 Club
Having reached this milestone, Chhava is now eyeing a place in the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films. To achieve this, it will need to surpass the following films:
Bahabali : The Beginning (2015) – Rs 421 crore- 2.0 (2018) – Rs 407.05 crore
- Salaar: Cease Fire – Part 1 (2023) – Rs 406.45 crore
