Vicky Kaushal’s

Chhaava

has scripted another historic moment at the box office as it surpasses Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao ’s

Stree 2

to become the 7th biggest hit in Indian cinema history. On its 52nd day, the period epic added Rs 1.30 crore as per Sacnilk, taking its India net collection to a staggering Rs 598.50 crore,. This puts it just ahead of Stree 2’s Rs 597.99 crore lifetime collection, cementing Chhaava’s position among Indian cinema’s top earners.

Set against the backdrop of Maratha history, Chhaava showcases the life and legacy of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, with Vicky Kaushal delivering a career-defining performance. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film blends emotion, valor, and grandeur — resonating deeply with audiences across India. It also boasts a worldwide gross of Rs 802.45 crore, with overseas collections of Rs 91 crore and a gross India total of Rs 711.45 crore.The film featured Akshaye Khanna, Rashmika Mandanna , Ashutosh Rana and Viineet Kumar Siingh in pivotal roles.

The film’s remarkable run puts it in the elite league of Indian blockbusters, just behind Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan (Rs 640.25crore), Kalki 2898 AD (Rs 646.31 crore), RRR (Rs 782.2 crore), KGF Chapter 2 (Rs 859.7 crore), Baahubali 2 (Rs 1030.42 crore), and the all-time record holder

Pushpa

: The Rule - Part 2 with a staggering Rs 1234.1 crore.
What sets Chhaava apart is its India net collection — a massive Rs 598.62 crore — which reflects the film's strong domestic hold. This feat is even more impressive considering its relatively modest budget compared to mega-budget films like RRR or Kalki or Jawan or Pushpa 2.
For Vicky Kaushal, Chhaava marks a watershed moment in his career, catapulting him into the league of mass superstars. It also reinforces the growing appeal of historical and patriotic narratives in mainstream cinema. With a few more crores to go before it potentially enters the Rs 600 crore club, Chhaava isn’t done just yet — and neither is Vicky’s unstoppable rise.
