Vicky Kaushal starrer Chhaava, which has recently received a shoutout from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, witnessed a massive 55 per cent dip in its earnings on Monday, the 11th day of its theatrical release.
The film saw a whopping 87 per cent uptick on Saturday, the day after PM Modi’s speech, wherein he praised the historical drama film for its portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s bravery and valour.
As per industry tracker, Sacnilk, Chhaava witnesses a 54.45 per cent slump on Monday, earning merely Rs. 18.22 crore on Day 11 of its release.
However, it must be noted that this is not the first time that the film has witnessed such a plunge as earlier, on its first Monday, it had dipped by over 50 per cent, only to regain momentum and took over the box office by storm.
The movie is directed by Laxman Utekar, and also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna. It is based on the true life event of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and his fight against the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
Chhaava was made on a budget of Rs. 130 crore and has already earned Rs. 345.07 within 11 days of its release, as per Sacnilk.
Despite the drop on Monday, Chhaava has surpassed other historical releases like Kesari and Tanhaji.
Considering the hype, the film would likely cross Rs. 400 crore mark soon.
