According to Sacnilk.com, the movie saw a significant boost in advance bookings on Monday. The Hindi 2D version has already amassed Rs 4.06 crore, while additional formats contributed Rs 12.53 lakh from IMAX 2D, Rs 4.08 lakh from 4DX, and Rs 1.53 lakh from ICE format.

As part of the promotional tour, lead actors Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar to seek blessings. Sharing his experience, Kaushal penned a heartfelt note on Instagram, stating, "There’s something about #SriHarmandirSahib! The peace, the divinity, the power of prayer. As we bring #Chhaava to the world, I hope it reflects even a fraction of the strength and devotion this sacred place inspires. Rabb meher bakshe. Satnam Waheguru."
Prior to this, Vicky Kaushal commenced promotions by seeking blessings in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s city, offering prayers to Lord Shiva at the Shri Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
Directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava features Vicky as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Rashmika as Maharani Yesubai. The film is an adaptation of Shivaji Sawant’s renowned Marathi novel Chhava.
Set for a grand release on Friday, Chhaava is expected to face a box office clash with Hollywood’s Captain America: Brave New World. With strong pre-release momentum, the historical epic is poised for a powerful debut.
