On Sunday, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to X (formerly Twitter) to share Chhaava's Day 2 box office figures. He wrote, “#Chhaava is a Box office hurricane... The Saturday numbers are simply extraordinary - not just in #Maharashtra but beyond #Maharashtra as well.”
Talking about how Chhaava is receiving love beyond its core market of Maharashtra, Taran Adarsh noted, “Apart from #Maharashtra, which is on a record-setting spree, key centres like #Delhi, #NCR, #Ahmedabad, #Surat, #Vadodara, #Rajkot, #Indore, #Bhopal, #Hyderabad and #Bengaluru witnessed strong occupancies on Saturday... The growth in business indicates that #Chhaava has found acceptance beyond its core market [#Maharashtra].”
