‘Chhaava’ Set to Stream on Netflix from April 11 After Historic Box Office Run
After a phenomenal performance in theatres, the historical epic Chhaava, which tells the heroic tale of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, is now gearing up for its digital release. The blockbuster film, led by Vicky Kaushal, will premiere on Netflix starting April 11, as officially confirmed by the streaming giant.
Having recently crossed the ₹500 crore mark at the domestic box office, Chhaava has firmly established itself as one of the biggest cinematic hits of the year. Vicky Kaushal delivers a compelling portrayal of the brave Maratha warrior king, in what many critics are calling one of the finest performances of his career. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai and Akshaye Khanna in the role of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, with Ashutosh Rana, Divya Dutta, and Diana Penty playing important supporting roles.
For those who missed it in theatres—or for fans eager to relive its grandeur—the film’s arrival on Netflix marks an exciting opportunity. Announcing the digital release, Netflix posted:
“Aale Raje Aale – Witness a tale of courage and glory etched in time. Watch Chhaava, out 11 April on Netflix.”
A Role Close to the Heart
Speaking about the film, Vicky Kaushal shared his thoughts on playing one of Maharashtra’s most revered historical figures:
“Playing Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj wasn’t just a role—it was an emotional and transformative experience. His life and legacy are truly inspiring. With the Netflix release, we’re bringing his story to audiences across the globe.”
Producer Dinesh Vijan echoed the sentiment, calling Chhaava much more than a period film:
“Chhaava is a tribute to valor, heritage, and sacrifice. It’s been an incredible journey for all of us involved, and we’re proud to showcase it to a worldwide audience through Netflix.”
Breaking Records, Winning Hearts
Featuring a moving soundtrack by A.R. Rahman and poetic lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil, Chhaava has struck a powerful chord with viewers. The film recently surpassed Jawan at the domestic box office, becoming the third-highest-grossing Hindi film of all time. It has earned ₹599 crore in India and an impressive ₹804 crore globally.
With its epic scale, emotional depth, and stirring performances, Chhaava stands as a cinematic triumph. And now, as it arrives on Netflix, a wider audience will get to experience the story of courage, legacy, and honor that has captured the nation’s heart.
