</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;A special screening of the historical film Chhaava, featuring Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, is expected to be held at the Balayogi Auditorium in Parliament this week. According to Times Now, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with Union ministers and Members of Parliament, will attend the screening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The film’s cast and crew, including Vicky Kaushal, director Laxman Utekar, and producer Dinesh Vijan, are also likely to be present at the event on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;script async src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;PM Modi’s Praise for ‘Chhaava’&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last month, PM Modi praised the film while addressing the Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan in Delhi. Highlighting the contribution of Maharashtra to cinema, he said,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Ye Maharashtra aur Mumbai hi hai jisne Marathi filmo ke saath saath, Hindi cinema ko ye unchai di hai. Aur in dino toh, Chhaava ki dhoom machi hui hai.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is not the first time Parliament has hosted a film screening. In December, PM Modi attended a screening of The Sabarmati Report, a film based on the 2002 Godhra train burning incident.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;‘Chhaava’ Sparks Controversy Amid Nagpur Violence&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Chhaava has received widespread appreciation, it has also been linked to recent communal tensions in Maharashtra. The film, which portrays the courage and struggles of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, has reignited historical debates and sentiments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following violent clashes in Nagpur’s Mahal area, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis defended the filmmakers, stating that the riots were a &amp;#8220;premeditated&amp;#8221; attempt to incite unrest. He further said,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/bollywood/indian-box-office-february-2024-%e2%82%b91245-cr-collected-vicky-kaushals-chhaava-leads-the-charts/&quot;&gt;Chhaav&lt;/a&gt;a, based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, reignited people&amp;#8217;s emotions against the Mughal emperor and brought before them the true history of the Maratha king.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At least 34 people were injured in the Nagpur violence, which erupted after rumours spread about the desecration of a religious text during a right-wing protest demanding the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Historic Film, Political Implications&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The upcoming screening of Chhaava in Parliament adds to the political discourse surrounding the film. While it celebrates Maratha history, the movie has also become a focal point for contemporary debates on history, identity, and politics in Maharashtra.&lt;/p&gt;

Hindi cinema&amp;#8217;s market share rose to 45%.
</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;The Indian movie industry continued to be in strong form from January into February with a combined home box office gross of ₹1,245 crore. Vicky Kaushal&amp;#8217;s historical drama Chhaava was the top performer, sharing a whopping 53% of the month&amp;#8217;s revenue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;February&amp;#8217;s Box Office Report Card&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The total box office collection, as per The India Box Office Report of Ormax Media, also counts the estimated collections of films which are currently still playing in theatres. Laxman Utekar&amp;#8217;s Chhaava, which stars Rashmika Mandanna alongside the lead, released on February 14 and ruled the box office. The biopic of Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was a blockbuster hit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report also mentioned that only the Hindi-box office numbers of &lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/bollywood/chhaava-smashes-box-office-records-surpasses-baahubali-the-beginning/&quot;&gt;Chhaava&lt;/a&gt; were taken into account, since its Telugu version opened in March 2025 and will be accounted for in subsequent reports.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Highest-Grossing February Post-Pandemic&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The total box office collections of films that were released in the year 2025 now stand at ₹2,264 crore, a 39% rise from the same period of 2024. This also makes February 2025 the highest-grossing February post-pandemic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Top Movies of February 2025&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chhaava dominated the charts, breaking ₹650 crore and placing it on the list of all-time highest-grossing Hindi films. Dragon, a Tamil-language blockbuster, was the only other movie to reach over ₹100 crore, outgrossing the much-hyped Tamil big-budget film Vidaamuyarchi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Following are the top ten highest-grossing movies of February 2025:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Crazxy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mazak&lt;em&gt;a&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The report also showed the rising trend of re-releases, as Sanam Teri Kasam and Interstellar entered the top ten.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Growth in Hindi Cinema&amp;#8217;s Market Share&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks to Chhaava&amp;#8217;s superlative performance, the percentage of Hindi films in the overall box office has grown to 45% for January-February 2025, up from 40% for the entire calendar year 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/bollywood/vicky-kaushals-chhaava-earns-50-crores-at-box-office/&quot;&gt;Vicky Kaushal&lt;/a&gt; recently posted an emotional video on Instagram, highlighting the sheer amount of love that Chhaava has received. In the video, a little boy was caught crying without any control in a cinema hall after watching the movie. The emotional scene had the boy putting his hand over his chest chanting the name of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vicky Kaushal was thankful in a moving caption, saying, &amp;#8220;&lt;em&gt;Hamari sabse badi kamai&lt;/em&gt;. (Our greatest earning). Proud of you &lt;em&gt;beta&lt;/em&gt; (son)…I wish I could give you a hug. Thank you everyone for your love and emotions. We wished for Shambhu Raaje&amp;#8217;s story to reach every household in the world…and to see that happening is our greatest victory.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8216;Chhaava&amp;#8217; is shining at the box office with earnings of 165 crore on day 5 of its release on the box office. The film stars actor Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna. Released on February 14, the ancient action-drama witnessed a big jump on its Day 5, with it raking in Rs. 25.56 crore net in India.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite an initial dip, the film registered a 6.50% increase on Tuesday, which testified to its supremacy. &amp;#8216;&lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/bollywood/alia-bhatt-appreciates-vicky-kaushals-chhaava-performance/&quot;&gt;Chhaava&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216; is produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films and is directed by Laxman Utekar. The film is based on the award-winning Marathi novel &amp;#8216;Chhava&amp;#8217; by Shivaji Sawant and depicts the life of Maratha king &amp;#8216;Sambhaji.&amp;#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Chhaava Scores Big on Day 5&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an interview with film exhibitor Akshay Rathie, the film collected a whopping Rs. 165 crore in domestic sales by the end of its fifth day in India.  When asked about how the film is doing compared to other films at the box office, he replied, &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a major success for 2025 to date. Given these numbers, there has been no other film in the current year that has even come close. It has become an industry landmark.&amp;#8221; The figure has set a high standard for Bollywood and confirmed Vicky Kaushal&amp;#8217;s box office appeal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Future Expectations&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When asked about the film&amp;#8217;s future box office collection, Rathie said, &amp;#8216;Chhaava&amp;#8217; is likely to cross the Rs. 300 crore mark domestically easily.&amp;#8221; He contended, “If this has its game on, it could easily be Vicky Kaushal&amp;#8217;s best film to date.” Word of mouth is expected to rise, with good audience engagement helping this film to sail through in the weeks to come.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Cast and Brilliance&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actor Vicky Kaushal portrays the hero of the film, a brave Maratha king &amp;#8216;Samprahi&amp;#8217; with actress Rashmika Mandanna as &amp;#8216;Maharani Yesubai&amp;#8217;. The rest of the cast is trigger-happy, too, with Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb, Ashutosh Rana as Sarsenapati Hambirao Mohite, and Divya Dutta as Soyarabai. The background score and impeccable soundtrack by AR Rahman provide the guinea pig story a great watch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Milestones of Chhaava&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8216;Chhaava&amp;#8217; reaches higher milestones at the box office with no sense of pulling back. With its twists of historical romance, packed with action sequences and fine performances, it is still drawing the crowds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the second week heavily under observation, speculation continues as to whether the film can quell the supposed fetish for historical romances in Bollywood.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;It’s often rare for film stars to be able to wear the shoes of their characters and become those characters. It’s not just sets and costumes that give you a taste of history; it is the actor who makes you believe in the character.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Vicky Kaushal in his masterpiece performance plays the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj aka Chhaava, the courageous son of Chhatrapati Shivaji, who puts life into the character. With his emotions, mannerisms, actions, and dialogues Kaushal is living the life of Sambhaji on screen in an outstanding manner in this action-drama flick directed by Laxman Utekar. Kaushal’s performance has been the most promising and illustrious undoubtedly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Akshaye Khanna playing the dreaded Mughal Emperor, makes you believe that he is the real Aurangzeb, exhibiting all his eccentricities &amp;amp; atrocities, his insecurities &amp;amp; arrogance, his cruelty and carnage in this film. He has lived his character throughout the film till the end where he kills his own General Alamgeer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The film starts around the times of coronation of Sambhaji as the King of the Maratha Empire, which was spread from Konkan to Karnataka and picturizes epic battles fought between Mughals and Maratha. Aurangzeb on a manhunt for Sambhaji, leaves Delhi with his army of 10 Lakh and spends more than 8 years to find Sambhaji, ambushing him to capture with the help of traitors stonewalling Sambhaji’s idea of creating a Hindavi Swaraj – The Self Rule of Maratha.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;When the two key characters, Sambhaji and Aurangzeb, keep you thoroughly hooked into the movie and the restlessness of Aurangzeb to capture Sambhaji and the sheer grit exhibited by Sambhaji to fight keeps you fully engaged.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The ravines, the jungles, the rivers, and the mountains, all become the playground for these battles where Sambhaji comes out as the true leader. The cinematography is brilliant with a lot of aerial shots, and the cinematic presentation is simply awesome with many special effects, which could have been better. The artistic design and the details captured in the sets give you a real feel of the Sambhaji Kingdom as well as the lives of the Mughals in the war zone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Rashmika Mandana playing Maharani Yesubai Bhonsle and Ashutosh Rana as Sambhaji’s uncle Hambir Rao do full justice to their roles. Hambir Rao as a strategist and a warrior exhibits his emotional expressions brilliantly, while Queen Yesubai comes across as a strong wife, a caring mother, and a perfect administrator of the Maratha Kingdon when Sambhaji is away fighting the enemies. Her portrayal as a queen of the Maratha empire is superb as she slips into the role without much effort.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Dinesh Vijan has produced the film under the banner of Maddock Films, and AR Rahman has given the music. The background score is impressive, and the songs fit into the narrative well invoking a patriotic feeling. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Chhaava is a brilliant big-screen experience, where every shot is spectacular and a visual treat. It’s a great mix of historical narratives told via modern storytelling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;STARS: 4 out of 5.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;In Theatres on Friday, 14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt; February 2025.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

A fascinating legend suggests so. As Chhaava releases in theatres, uncover the historical tale behind this beloved dish.
</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;As &amp;#8216;Chhaava&amp;#8217;, featuring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, comes to the big screen today, an interesting legend ties the film’s heroic protagonist, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, to the Indian culinary staple-sambhar. Did this beloved dish take its name from this courageous Maratha ruler? Let us delve into the tale behind this theory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;All About Sambhar&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sambhar is a South Indian dish garnished with sour lentils and soft vegetables in spicy oleoresins.  It is one of the best South Indian delicacies. It speaks of comfort in the simplest of forms, be it with soft idlis or crispy dosas or with hot steamed rice. But what about the fact that this dish could be related to royalty in wars waged by one of India&amp;#8217;s greatest warriors?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Story Behind the Sambhar&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to historical records, sambhar was first prepared for Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the second son of the Maratha Empire. The tale goes on in the 17th century when Sambhaji visited Thanjavur, then ruled by Shahuji Maharaj. Shahuji, the son of Vyankoji, was Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj&amp;#8217;s stepbrother; he was not only a resilient warrior but a great poet, an artist, and a cook as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the royal feast, the kitchen was suddenly devoid of kokum, the key souring agent used in traditional Maharashtrian &lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/japan/this-mysore-cafe-is-tokyos-go-to-spot-for-traditional-karnataka-cuisine/&quot;&gt;cuisine&lt;/a&gt;. Determined to hold on to the customary sour flavor of the dish, the cooks improvised with the available tamarind to keep the tangy essence. This new version was presented right before Sambhaji, and Sambhaji Aahar, &amp;#8216;the food of Sambhaji,&amp;#8217; was heralded in Sambhaji&amp;#8217;s name. This name gradually changed to the more modern &amp;#8216;sambhar,&amp;#8217; which is what we relish today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although historical evidence has stumped us so far, this exciting folklore is an embellishment in all of the Maratha legacy. The story is captivating whether or not one believes in the truth of circumstance linking fearless warriors to a cherished dish.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chhaava, the eternally told valiant life story of Sambhaji Maharaj, is now running.&lt;/p&gt;
