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.

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

-------------------------------------

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.

CHHAAVA collected 2.25 crore nett on its fifth Monday which takes the fifth week total to 24 crore nett which is a new high for the fifth week record beating the 22 crore nett plus of STREE 2. There is a drop as to how the film was performing but it was a huge weekend for Holi. Hence, a drop was expected at some point. Nevertheless, it can hold well through the week from here.

The fifth week is likely to be around the 30 crore nett mark which is a benchmark that has never been reached and the drop in fifth week will be hardly 30% which is a super strong trend. The total collections of the film so far are almost 524 crore and by the end of the week, the film would be standing at around 530 crore nett.

The collections of CHHAAVA till date are as follows.

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 7,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 7,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 2,25,00,000 apprx

CHHAAVA did record business over Holi weekend which was the fifth weekend for the film. The film comfortably collected over the 20 crore nett and has almost reached the fifth week record over the weekend itself. STREE 2 had collected 22 crore nett in week five and here the numbers are just a little than that in the weekend at 21.50 crore nett. The film crossed the fifth week number of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE which was 18 crore nett.

CHHAAVA has now collected 521.50 crore nett in total after 31 days and is heading towards a 550 crore nett finish. The film got benefit of Holi over the weekend with Friday being the biggest beneficiary. The Holi factor remained over the weekend but it got lesser day by day. Sunday was flat because of this reason. There will be parts in UP and MP which may even get a little boost on Monday.

The business in Mumbai circuit is now pretty certain to be the highest ever even though Gujarat will not even do half the business of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE. Maharashtra is simply out of this world as it smashes all records by huge distances. The best circuit outside the ones which have stations from  Maharashtra is Mysore.  

The collections of CHHAAVA till date are as follows.

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 7,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 7,50,00,000 apprx

CHHAAVA got the benefit of Holi as it showed a big jump in business collecting around 6.50 crore nett. The collections were almost double of the previous day and it remained the top collecting film for the fifth Friday. This status quo is likely to remain for another couple of more Friday's. The total of the film is now almost 507 crore nett.

The fifth Friday is a record and history is pretty much certain in the fifth week as records come for the weekend and the week. STREE 2 holds these records and with the aid of Holi, CHHAAVA should comfortably beat these records. The film is heavily being driven by Mumbai circuit where breaking the crazy PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE record is a possibility for CHHAAVA.

The business is lesser in the North and East and here a film like THE DIPLOMAT has managed to compete though its only likely for the Friday as CHHAAVA will move ahead over the weekend in these circuits as well. The film will be third highest grossing film by the end of the weekend.

The collections of CHHAAVA till date are as follows.

Friday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 7,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx
