This year, Indian movies have broken all records. At a time when people wondered if theatres would ever feel full again, two movies—Chhaava and Saiyaara—have brought back the old magic of watching films on the big screen. Their box office runs, ticket sales, and buzz are making headlines everywhere.
Chhaava: From History Books to Box Office Glory
What is Chhaava all about?
Chhaava is a historical action drama that tells the amazing story of 17th-century Maratha warrior Sambhaji Maharaj. Vicky Kaushal plays the lead, and the film has won hearts with its big battle scenes, moving moments, and powerful performances. Directed by Laxman Utekar and supported by a strong cast including Rashmika Mandanna, Akshaye Khanna, and others, Chhaava isn’t just a movie—it’s an event.
2025 Box Office Hits Story—600 Crore and Counting!
- Chhaava crossed the ₹600 crore mark in just 66 days, something only a handful of Indian films have done before.
- The film’s total global earnings are touching ₹800 crore.
- It opened big with ₹225 crore in the first week and kept strong despite OTT release on Netflix.
Why did Chhaava work with audiences?
People love true stories of heroism. Families brought their kids to watch history in action. The catchy songs, especially with A.R. Rahman’s music, made everyone hum along. The movie’s impressive battles and emotional scenes had people talking long after leaving the theatre.
Chhaava’s box office journey is special because it isn’t a sequel, nor did it depend on hype from older films. Word of mouth did the magic. Theatre crowds, social media buzz, and repeat viewings helped it hit the big milestone.

What’s Saiyaara?
Saiyaara is a romantic action drama with two newcomers—Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Fans were already excited months before release, thanks to stylish posters and catchy songs on reels. But what really set Saiyaara apart was its pre-booking storm.
Pre-Booking Records and Crowd Energy

- The movie sold 1.95 lakh tickets just in national multiplex chains before its first show.
- In its opening week, Saiyaara raced to ₹172 crore; by 18 days, it crossed ₹500 crore worldwide!
- By the end of four weeks, despite other big releases, it still filled theatres.
Why do people love Saiyaara?
It’s a fresh love story packed with stylish action. Young viewers, especially college students, made groups and booked whole rows. The film’s music trended online. Many people said they loved watching new faces try bold roles, and families praised the clean plot.
Saiyaara’s journey is proof that a solid movie with good songs and simple love story, when paired with the right hype, can rule the box office—even up against bigger stars or franchise films.
Other Big 2025 Grossers & The Takeaway
The box office top 5 of 2025 is filled with both known and new names, but Chhaava and Saiyaara are the talk of the town right now. Audiences have shown if a film has heart, action, and something different, they’re ready to buy the ticket.
