CHHAAVA hit a record number on Tuesday as it collected the highest second Tuesday ever beating the numbers of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE by around 1 crore nett. There is a holiday for Maha Shivratri on Wednesday which helped evening shows to be better and the film managed to go up by around 5%. There were places which showed more growth but on the side, certain places went down as well.

The second week so far stands at over 136 crore nett and it will be the holiday on Wednesday which will determine where the week ends. It will be over 170 crore nett but the question is by how much. PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE holds the record at 178 crore nett and to reach that, it will need a big jump on Wednesday.

The film continues its juggernaut run in Mumbai, CP Berar and Nizam/Andhra but other circuits are also faring better as the ratio of Mumbai circuit is less in the second week as compared to the first week. The film looks to be heading for a 500 crore nett plus total but it will need the third Friday to be in double digits to stay on course for that. It will also be interesting how close it can to get to PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE in Mumbai circuit in the final run.

The collections of CHHAAVA till date are as follows.

Friday - 29,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 34,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 44,00,00,000 apprx

CHHAAVA collected a huge 23 crore nett on its second Wednesday which again is the highest collection ever seen on the second Wednesday driven by the holiday for Mahashivratri. The collections in all practically all the mass pockets were better than the second Friday while the bigger centers were a bit less. Overall the collections were in the same range as the second Friday.

The second week now stands at almost 160 crore nett which already makes it the highest second week of all time after PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE easily beating the numbers of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION and STREE 2. There will be a drop in Thursday but still the week should go over 170 crore nett. The drop week on week is looking under 20% which is just unimaginable for a film which collected over 200 crore nett in the first week. Even a BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION did not hold as well in week two.

The overall total of the film stands at 355 crore nett and if we go by the second week trend, the film will cruise well past the 500 crore nett mark but that trend is unlikely to be repeated as it is a rarity for a film collecting at the level. The drop in the third week will determine where the lifetime business of the film will go. The coming week also does not see much competition. Hence, the Friday hold should be good compared to the Thursday.

The collections of CHHAAVA till date are as follows.

CHHAAVA had the second highest second week of all time after PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE but if we count original Hindi films only, then its easily the highest with the previous best being STREE 2 at 141 crore nett. Here CHHAAVA has collected 172 crore nett which is more than 30 crore nett higher than STREE 2 which is an insane result.

The only other original Hindi films to cross 100 crore nett in week two are GADAR 2, ANIMAL, JAWAN, DANGAL and THE KASHMIR FILES. If we add STREE 2 and CHHAAVA, it makes it only seven films to go above 100 crore nett. The difference here is that CHHAAVA has gone well over 150 crore nett. The drop in the second week is just 16% which is simply unbelievable for a film collecting 200 crore nett in the first week.

The film was very heavy in Maharashtra in week one and that remains the case in week two but its not as heavy as week one as other circuits showed better ratios in week two. The total collection of the film is at 368 crore nett and its probably heading for a finish at around 500 crore nett. However, this week is important as it needs to get at least 80 crore nett and the job will probably be done as there is the Holi period in March which is sure to give it a good week.

The collections of CHHAAVA till date are as follows.

Friday - 29,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 34,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 44,00,00,000 apprx

CHHAAVA continues its remarkable run as it collected around 16 crore nett on its second Monday which is a 30% drop from the Friday which saw near record level collections. The hold is phenomenal though not as strong as PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE which had a stronger hold and collected 20 crore nett. The drop for that film came on Tuesday in the second week.

The situation is likely to be different with CHHAAVA as there is a holiday on Wednesday which is going to hold up collections better over the next two days. The film has a total of 323 crore nett on the board so far. It could be looking at 375 crore nett total at the end of the week depending on the jump in business on Wednesday and the drop thereafter.

The highest second week ever is PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE at 178 crore nett and that maybe out of reach of the film unless the jump on Wednesday is at an extraordinary level. Still even if it does not reach the PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE level, it will be beating every other film in terms of the second week business which includes all the other original Hindi films to reach 500 crore nett as well as BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION.

The collections of CHHAAVA till date are as follows.

Friday - 29,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 34,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 44,00,00,000 apprx 

Monday - 23,00,00,000 apprx

CHHAAVA recorded an extraordinary second weekend with collections over 100 crore nett at 102 crore nett. PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE has the highest second weekend ever at 114 crore nett and it fell short of that. At the same time, it has beaten every other film as no other film has got over 100 crore nett in the second weekend. STREE 2 has 93 crore nett and GADAR 2 has 89 crore nett.

The film built huge momentum on Saturday with the highest Saturday ever seen in history but it may well have been because of the match on Sunday that collections and growth was so huge on Saturday. Some of that Sunday audience would have come on Saturday and this meant a drop in business on Sunday. Its likely that if the match was not there, then Saturday would not be so high but Sunday would have seen some solid growth for sure.

The film has crossed the 300 crore nett mark on Sunday and now stands at a huge 307 crore nett and now it remains to be seen where the film stands over the weekdays. The 500 crore nett is far but its an open field and if it keeps on this trajectory, it is certain to get there and actually go much higher but its pretty much unthinkable that the film will hold in third week like it has in the second week. There is no doubt the film is going to be the highest grosser ever in Maharashtra easily beating the numbers of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE but Mumbai circuit will be tougher to beat the Allu Arjun-starrer due to the huge difference in the business in Gujarat.

The collections of CHHAAVA till date are as follows.

Friday - 29,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 34,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 44,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 36,50,00,000 apprx

CHHAAVA set a record for the highest second Saturday of all time as it edged past the PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE number for its second Saturday. It becomes the second film to cross the 40 crore nett mark on its second Saturday. The collections were a huge 41.50 crore nett and now it remains to be seen if the unthinkable can happen and if it can collect 50 crore nett on its second Sunday. This has never happened before in history of Hindi cinema.

The overall total of the film stands at 270 crore nett apprx; this means it has crossed the numbers of TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR which was another film where business was dominated by Mumbai circuit and more specifically Maharashtra. The second of weekend CHHAAVA has seen better ratios in other parts of the country.

On Friday, the business was pretty flat in Maharashtra while the growth was coming from other circuits especially North India. There is a political support for the film from the ruling party which was helping collections in Maharashtra but now this has spread into other areas. The second weekend could be a record depending on how Sunday goes. 

The collections of CHHAAVA till date are as follows.

Friday - 29,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 34,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 44,00,00,000 apprx 

Monday - 23,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 24,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 30,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 20,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 23,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 41,50,00,000 apprx

CHHAAVA recorded a phenomenal second Friday as collections went to 23 crore nett which was a solid jump from the previous day. The advances were pretty much insane for the weekend even before the weekend started which means it is certain for huge growth on Saturday and Sunday. The film continues its record breaking run in Maharashtra and other circuits also made good gains on the second Friday. In fact, the jump was more in other places compared to Maharashtra.

The film is finding political support from the ruling party with major players including the Prime Minister supporting the film; as seen before, it does push the awareness of the film and finds a audience which may not have watched otherwise. The total collections of the film are now 228 crore nett and although the second Friday is not the highest ever, it is likely the film will now be challenging PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE's daily records from here on.

The film has a wave going for it in terms of sentiment with the Hindu audience and while midweek it looked like it was targeting a 400 crore nett pluss number, now it could even be 500 crore nett plus and more. If next week the trend is like this, then it can even be challenging for the title of the highest original Hindi film. The collections on Saturday and Sunday can be the highest collections ever seen for a second Saturday and Sunday.

The collections of CHHAAVA till date are as follows.

Friday - 29,00,00,000 apprx
