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.

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.

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.
