According to the website, 2,32,746 tickets for Chhaava’s opening day have been sold across 8.090 shows in India. The film is projecting an opening of ₹6.74 crore in India so far and ₹8.42 crore, including block seats. It remains to be seen how much it collects on day 1, though it might beat the opening of his previous film Bad Newz at ₹8.3 crore.

For context, this year’s big-ticket films were Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force, which collected ₹12.25 crore on its opening day, while Shahid Kapoor’s Deva brought in ₹5.5 crore. Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency had a ₹2.5 crore opening so Chhaava might have one of the biggest openings of 2025 so far.

Talking about the physical transformation he underwent for the movie, Vicky Kaushal revealed at a promotional event, “There were days when I had no time to even relax. With 12-hour shoot schedules, two hours of training before and two hours of action rehearsals after, I barely had time to sleep.” He credited Katrina Kaif for being supportive during this period. “Katrina knows how it is in the industry, and she was so kind and patient with me,” he added.
