Chaava Intro

Chhaava is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language historical action film based on the life of Sambhaji, the second ruler of the Maratha Empire, played by Vicky Kaushal. It is an adaptation of the Marathi novel Chhava by Shivaji Sawant. Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, the film also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna.

Pre-production began in April 2023 and filming commenced in October 2023 and ended in May 2024. The film score and soundtrack album are composed by A. R. Rahman while the lyrics are written by Irshad Kamil and Kshitij Patwardhan. It was theatrically released on 14 February 2025 in standard and IMAX formats. It has earned over ₹246.37 crore (US$28 million) to rank as the second highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 as well as the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025.

Following the death of Shivaji, news reaches the court of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. His advisers anticipate the collapse of Maratha resistance, while Aurangzeb, though acknowledging the loss of a formidable enemy, orders a celebration. However, leadership has already passed to Sambhaji, Shivaji’s son. Burhanpur, a key Mughal administrative and commercial center, faces a sudden Maratha attack. The defenders, unprepared, are overwhelmed by the onslaught. In the midst of battle, Sambhaji falls into a pit where he faces a lion. Overpowering the beast, he kills it with his bare hands. The Marathas seize the Mughal treasury, directly challenging imperial authority.

As reports arrive in Delhi, Aurangzeb realizes that the Maratha resistance remains intact. He initiates a vast military campaign to crush them. Meanwhile, Sambhaji is warmly welcomed home by his wife, Yesubai, while factional intrigue grows within the Maratha court, with conspirators attempting to install Rajaram, Sambhaji’s step-brother, as ruler. Aurangzeb’s forces advance, and the atrocities committed under his command are briefly noted. Diplomatic negotiations unfold as Mughal prince Mirza Akbar seeks Sambhaji’s assistance in rebelling against Aurangzeb. While skeptical, Sambhaji uncovers covert communications between his stepmother, Soyarabai, and the prince. A conspiracy to overthrow him is revealed, and the traitors are executed beneath an elephant’s crushing weight. Recognizing the superior numbers of the Mughal army, Sambhaji employs guerrilla tactics. The Deccan’s challenging terrain proves disastrous for the Mughals, causing heavy losses.

Aurangzeb, having vowed to remain uncrowned until Sambhaji is defeated, faces increasing difficulty. His daughter, Zinat-un-Nissa, attempts to capture her estranged brother Mirza Akbar, but the Marathas foil the ambush. Internal dissent weakens Sambhaji’s ranks as jagirdars (feudal lords) defect to the Mughals, prompting him to convene a royal council. Meanwhile, his disgruntled brothers-in-law betray his location, leading to a Mughal ambush. As many warriors fall, key Maratha leaders Santaji Ghorpade and Dhanaji Jadhav are smuggled out to continue the resistance, while an outnumbered Sambhaji fights until his capture. Taken before Aurangzeb, he refuses to submit. He is brutally tortured but does not renounce his ideals. Aurangzeb, facing mounting revolts, offers him a chance to surrender. Sambhaji remains defiant, declaring that the struggle for Swaraj (‘self-governance’) has spread across the empire.

As he perishes, Rajaram ascends, and the resistance continues. The film ends with the Marathas’ eventual triumph, as the Mughal Empire collapses within three decades, leading to the establishment of Indian Swaraj.

Initially set to release on 6 December 2024, the film was later postponed to 14 February 2025. The film was simultaneously released in Russia. Following backlash from certain Maharashtrian political figures for featuring a scene in the trailer in which Chatrapati Sambhaji and his wife perform lezim dance, Utekar decided to delete the sequence from the film.
