Chhaava Movie Review
Meanwhile, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to declare Chhaava tax-free in the state. “We appeal that the movie reaches a wider audience as the legacy and courage of this great Maratha king should be known to the generations to come. Our government strongly believes in ‘Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah’, and this movie portrays exactly the same sentiments,” read the letter.
Directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava features a stellar ensemble cast, including Rashmika Mandanna, Akshaye Khanna, Vineet Kumar, Ashutosh Rana, and Divya Dutta in key roles. With its impressive box office performance, the film is well on its way to setting new records in 2025.
