Chhaava crosses ₹200 crore? What lies next for the Vicky Kaushal starrer drama?

Chhaava earned ₹24.5 crore on Tuesday, slightly surpassing its Monday collection, according to data from Sacnilk. As of Monday, the film's gross worldwide collection stood at ₹195 crore. With Tuesday’s net India earnings added, the film would have now crossed the ₹200 crore mark in gross worldwide collection.

However, the actual gross worldwide collection figure is expected to be significantly higher, as only net India collection numbers have been reported so far, with overseas collection figures yet to be included.

As of Day 5, the net India collection stood at ₹165 crore. On Tuesday, Chhaava recorded an overall 32.52% Hindi occupancy, with the highest occupancy observed in night shows, followed by evening and afternoon shows.

In contrast, theatre occupancy has declined, falling below 50% in almost all metro cities except Pune and Mumbai, indicating potentially tougher days ahead for the film. The drop in occupancy has also extended to non-metro cities in Maharashtra, including Surat, where it stood at just 14.5%.

The film has garnered mixed reviews from both critics and the public, which may have affected the overall hype and the buzz essential for sustaining its momentum through the weekdays.
