CHHAAVA had a record fifth week as it collected over 30.50 crore nett plus. The film smashed the records of STREE 2, PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and URI. This is the first time that the 30 crore nett barrier has been crossed in week five. The only film to over 20 crore nett before this was STREE 2 and then there are only another four films to go over 10 crore nett.

The only three original Hindi films to get over 10 crore nett in week five are URI, STREE 2 and now CHHAAVA which puts this 30 crore nett into perspective. Basically two films are of Vicky Kaushal and two of Maddock Films. The three others to get over 10 crore nett are South dubbed films (BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION, PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and KGF - CHAPTER 2).

The drop in week five is also very limited with collections going down 25% only. This would be down to Holi which pushed the collections of higher over the weekend. The film has now collected 530 crore nett in five weeks and is heading for a 550 crore nett finish assuming the collections today are pretty much similar to Thursday. The film should continue to do well till the release of SIKANDAR and even after that, it can still get some collections

The Telugu version did well in week one with 12 crore nett but fell in second week with only 2.50 crore nett for a two week total of 14.50 crore nett. It had a shot of 20 crore nett after 4-5 days but collections came down thereafter.

The collections of CHHAAVA till date are as follows.
Week One - 2,08,89,00,000
Week Two - 1,71,76,00,000
Week Three - 79,87,00,000
Week Four - 39,45,00,000
Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 7,50,00,000 apprx
Sunday - 7,50,00,000 apprx
Monday - 2,25,00,000 apprx
Tuesday - 2,35,00,000 apprx
Wednesday - 2,25,00,000 apprx
Thursday - 2,00,00,000 apprx
Fifth Week - 30,60,00,000 apprx
TOTAL - 5,30,32,00,000 apprx
-------------------------------------
CHHAAVA recorded extraordinary numbers on its Friday as it picked up almost 2 crore nett showing a minimal drop from the previous day. It is the biggest sixth Friday ever if we discount STREE 2 which had National Cinema Day on its sixth Friday. This now takes CHHAAVA to around over 532 crore nett and and its heading towards that 550 crore nett plus mark.

The industry, which has been pretty much dead, for the last few weeks should perk up a little as trailers of films like JAAT and SIKANDAR come this weekend. There has been no release of note since CHHAAVA which is in its sixth week but the next few weeks will see SIKANDAR, JAAT and KESARI CHAPTER 2 hit screens. Hopefully something will be liked as today only being liked can get you somewhere at the box office.
