Chhaava Box Office collection Day 9: Vicky Kaushal's historic movie surpasses Uri, but sees dip on Saturday

Chhaava Box Office collection Day 9: Vicky Kaushal's latest historic drama has been making waves at the Box Office ever since its release, and has already surpassed the actor's previous highest grossing film, Uri: The Surgical Strike.

However, Chhaava's Box Office Collection on Day 9, seems to have fallen behind the movie's otherwise merry run.

Chhaava is estimated to have earned ₹259.3 crores India net, after its nine-day-run in the theatres, as per data collated by industry tracker Sacnilk. This number is significantly higher than Uri movie's collection, which brought a total of ₹244.14 to the table after 13 weeks of its theatrical run.

Although the earnings are decent in comparison to the amounts collected by other recent releases, Chhaava's Day 9 collection is roughly 30 per cent lower, as compared to previous day's ticket sales.

Chhaava had an exceptional first week, earning a total of ₹219.25 crore. The film maintained strong momentum into its second Friday, collecting an estimated ₹23 crore, consistent with its Monday (Day 4) earnings.
