The blockbuster historical tale “Chhaava,” produced by Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films and featuring Vicky Kaushal, has been breaking records at the Indian box office, earning an impressive INR7.11 billion ($83.5 million) in ticket sales.
Apart from “Stree 2” by Maddock Films, only one other Hindi-language film produced in India has surpassed this box office milestone, leaving movies like “Baahubali 2,” “Pushpa 2,” “RRR,” “K.G.F 2,” and “Kalki 2989 AD” from southern Indian languages behind. Notably, “Chhaava” has grossed over $10.5 million in international markets, bringing its global earnings to a total of $94 million.
When we started on the project ‘Chhaava’, we felt we had something unique – a tale deeply connected to tradition and feelings. However, witnessing it strike a chord globally and gross over INR800 crore [$94 million] worldwide is incredibly humbling. This movie truly belongs to its audience, and this achievement underscores the depth of their affection for it.” – Vijan expressed.
The movie ‘Chhaava’ features Vicky Kaushal portraying the legendary Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. This is Maddock Films’ first foray into the historical epic genre, with Kaushal joined by Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna. Laxman Utekar leads the production, which tells the story of Sambhaji Maharaj, who became king in 1681.
Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the firstborn son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, governed the Maratha Empire during a pivotal era in Indian history. Renowned for his military skills and tactical acumen, Sambhaji’s rule was characterized by unrelenting conflict with the Mughal Empire and other dominant forces. His tale is remarkable for his valiant defense of the Maratha realm and his legendary bravery in the face of hardship. He was also affectionately known as Chhaava, which means ‘lion’s cub’.
In 2024, Maddock’s box office success was fueled by three hits: “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya,” a sci-fi rom-com; “Munjya,” a horror-comedy; and the sequel to the 2018 hit “Stree,” titled “Stree 2.” The studio has announced an exciting lineup of eight connected films in the horror-comedy genre, scheduled for release over the next four years.
