Chhaava showed strong growth on Saturday as the film jumped 20% from Friday and collected 34 crore nett which gives the film a two day total of 63 crore nett. This growth has come post Valentines Day which is a great sign for the film though the push on Valentines Day may not have been that huge due to the genre.

The trend of the film is far superior than the other films out there as they probably got more benefit on Valnetimes Day. The film continues to huge business in Mumbai, CP Berar and Nizam / Andhra. The latter is not just strong in the Marathawada area but in Nizam also. The film has seen a good pick up in the North and certain centres in UP which dont normally grow on Saturday went up. Still the overall collections of the film are lower in the North and East but the trend is good which is important for the long run as these areas have to hold for a big number at the end.

There may be certain clouds over the film but its pretty clear the film is a HIT and and the weekdays will tell if its going to be even bigger and the signs look very good as there is a holiday on Wednesday which ensures a huge total at the end of the week. There is an open run for the film which gives it possibilities for a huge sustained run but that will be known on Thursday and second Friday and it by then it will be known exactly where the film stands and certain external elements around the film will clear up. 

The biggest plus from the film is that finally the industry may have found the third star this century and nothing can be bigger for the industry than this especially the state the industry is in today as its the need of the hour. In the last 25 years there has been only actors Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor who can be called genuine stars which is a poor return and now Vicky Kaushal could join this list though obviously depends on what happens in the next few films as its never just one film. Not being able to create male stars is one of the biggest things keeping the industry down and any addition is like a godsend.
