Chhaava Impact: People can’t stop crying even after coming out of theaters Watch

Chhaava was released last Friday to a glorious response. The movie is based on the life of Raje Sambhaji Maharaj with Vicky Kaushal playing the male lead while Rashmika Mandanna portrays Rani Yesubai. While Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is known for establishing Hindavi Swaraj, it is Sambhaji Maharaj who is known for his bravery and courage. His agonizing death at the hands of cruel Aurangzeb is heart-wrenching.

The stories often told for years about Shambhu Maharaj had always brought tears to the eyes of the people. And now the same is happening to the audience who have been watching Chhaava in theatres for the last couple of days. Chhaava ends with Aurangzeb cruelly killing the proud Sambhaji Maharaj and the brutal and nasty way in which the Moghul Emperor kills the Maratha ruler has left the audience appalled, sorrowful, and aghast.

Chhaava brings tears to the eyes of the audience

A day ago most of the audience were found leaving the theaters in tears which is an indication that this Laxman Utekar-helmed movie has been successful in moving the hearts of the audience. It has made the right impact and got the audience so involved in the story of Sambhaji Maharaj that they are unable to control their emotions and are crying.

Many youngsters from the audience can also be seen shouting slogans like “Har Har Mahadev” and “Jai Bhavani Jai Shivaji” inside the theaters. The massive response to Chhava last weekend was a big surprise because Maddock Films who produced this film were accused of allegedly doing corporate booking to trigger hype for the movie.

However, with the way audiences in Maharashtra and other states responded to Chhaava, it now seems that the movie may organically touch 100 crores. The current week is very crucial for the movie as it will decide whether Chhaava turns out to be a big hit or not. Fans have also appreciated the work of Vicky Kaushal and Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb.

Vicky ate 6000 plus calories to bulk up and get the strong build of Sambhaji Maharaj, Akshaye Khanna as the menacing Aurangzeb has also left a mark.
