In a matter of a week, the movie, based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, garnered over Rs 200 crore in domestic box office.

According to film trade portal Sacnilk, Chhaava has earned Rs 219.75 crore so far in box office.

Chhaava made Rs 31 crore on its opening Friday, followed by Rs 37 crore on Saturday, Rs 48.5 crore on Sunday, Rs 24 crore on Monday, Rs 25.25 crore on Tuesday, Rs 32 crore on Wednesday, and an estimated Rs 22 crore on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh and Goa announced that they would make Chhaava tax-free. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said,  “Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, sacrificed his life for the country and religion while enduring all sorts of torture. A movie named Chhaava, based on his life, has been released. When such an excellent movie is made, why should we collect tax on it? I want to announce that from now on, Chhaava will be tax-free in the state.”
