Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal’s blockbuster film Chhaava has surpassed Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan at the domestic box office, as reported by Indian media.
According to a report by The Indian Express, the historical drama, directed by Laxman Utekar, is now the ninth-biggest Hindi film of all time. On its fifth Thursday at the box office, Chhaava made over Rs 4 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. However, it showed a bearish trend on Friday, amassing a total of Rs 7.25 crore across India.

The report states that Chhaava overcame a 6.25% dip on Thursday and posted better numbers, despite facing fresh competition from the John Abraham-starrer The Diplomat, which made Rs 4 crore on its opening day. The Hindi version of Chhaava added Rs 6.5 crore, while the Telugu version contributed Rs 75 lakh to Friday’s earnings.
Although Chhaava’s collections had been declining in the past few days, the movie is expected to cross the Rs550 crore mark this weekend. It is currently trailing Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal (Rs 553.87 crore), which holds the eighth position. However, Indian media predicts that Chhaava will likely surpass Animal’s total, and internationally, Chhaava is set to cross the Rs 750 crore mark this weekend
