India’s Action Hit ‘Chhaava’ Just Passed a Major Box Office Milestone

While the Chinese mega-hit Ne Zha 2 continues breaking box office records, another international film is achieving its own milestones. The Indian historical action film Chhaava, featuring the up-and-coming star Vicky Kaushal in the central role, passed a new global box office milestone as it neared a month of release. Chhaava is based on the life of the 17th-century Maratha king Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, who battled to protect his territory from the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, played in the film by Akshaye Khanna. Chhaava was released to mixed reviews but positive audience reception in February.
