CHHAAVA had another superb week as it collected 15 crore nett plus in week six. It is the second highest sixth week of all time after STREE 2 but that film got the advantage of National Cinema Day on the Friday. If you take that out, then there is a chance that CHHAAVA has the highest sixth week on fair value.

The collections STREE 2 in week six were 17 crore nett and the only other film before CHHAAVA and STREE 2 with a double digit sixth week is URI. The drop again was only 50% but now the flow of releases will begin with SIKANDAR set to release on Sunday. CHHAAVA will still collect well on Friday and Saturday but then collections will be hit hard.

It will not mean its the end for the film as it will still get collections in circuits which have centres from Maharashtra but the rest will have very minimal collections. CHHAAVA looks like closing at 265 crore nett in Mumbai, 75 crore nett in Delhi/UP and around 25 crore nett in Delhi/UP. CP Berar, Nizam/Andhra and South will all score more than East Punjab showing the impact of the film in Maharashtra and South.

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

Friday - 2,00,00,000

Saturday - 3,50,00,000

Sunday - 4,50,00,000 apprx 

Monday - 1,35,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,35,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 1,30,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

CHHAAVA collected 3.50 crore nett on its sixth Saturday which is solid growth of around 80% from the Friday. There was the start of the IPL tournament but it did not affect the film much. However, there are two matches on Sunday which could be mean a different story for the film.

The collections of the film now go to 535 crore nett and the week is probably looking at a drop in the 50% range and that is coming off Holi week which again means fantastic trending for the film. It may not be the highest sixth week ever but that will be because STREE 2 had National Cinema Day benefit on its sixth Friday.

The target is probably to cross the 550 crore nett mark and it will be probably be dependent on what sort of collections the film gets post Eid.

The collections of CHHAAVA till date are as follows.

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.
