Mumbai is witnessing a rare cinematic phenomenon as filmmaker Laxman Utekar’s Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna, and Akshaye Khanna, has been granted midnight and post-midnight shows owing to a crazy public demand. The period action drama, produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, is running to packed houses, with show timings extending as late as 12:45 am, 1:00 am, 1:15 am, and even 1:30 am in various locations across Mumbai.
It is very rare for a film to get shows as late as 1:30 am. Some of the films that have been granted shows past midnight include the likes of Drishyam 2, Jawan, Pathaan, Animal, Stree 2, Shaitaan, Sooryavanshi, etc. Gangubai Kathiawadi is the only female led film to have got post-midnight shows. As far as Hollywood is concerned, films like Oppenheimer, Avatar: The Way Of Water, etc, have achieved this.
However, all the Hindi movies that have so far received post-midnight shows feature a superstar in the lead. Chhaava is the first film where an emerging superstar like Vicky Kaushal has received this honour. Along with his popularity, the admiration of the people of Maharashtra for Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, on whose life the film is based, is a major reason for the film’s craze.
Chhaava opened in India with Rs. 33.10 crores on Friday February 14. The film is now expected to easily cross Rs. 100 crores in its first weekend itself.
