Chhaava enters the Rs 200 crore (Rs 2 billion) club, and may be the biggest hit of Vicky Kaushal's career so far.
Joginder Tuteja lists Vicky's Top 10 hits.
Chhaava
Box office collection: Rs 300 crore+/Rs 3 billion+ (expected)
Chhaava was always expected to do well but no one expected it to become such a biggie!
The film has cemented Vicky Kaushal's status as a bankable star and one can expect his next releases to benefit, at least where the opening is concerned.
Uri - The Surgical Strike
Box office collection: Rs 245.36 crore (Rs 2.45 billion)
The film that first established Vicky as a commercial star was Uri: The Surgical Strike. It didn't just open well but also sustained for a good period.
After this 2019 film, one expected Vicky to have many more big hits but the next one (Sam Bahadur) happened four years later.
Raazi
Box office collection: Rs 123.84 crore (Rs 1.24 billion)
Raazi arrived in 2018, a year before Uri, but was seen predominantly as an Alia Bhatt movie.
Playing Alia's husband in a supporting role, Raazi was Vicky's first Rs 100 Crore (Rs 1 billion) Club film.
Sam Bahadur
Box office collection: Rs 92.98 crore (Rs 929.8 million)
Sam Bahadur did well despite releasing on the same weekend as the Ranbir Kapoor blockbuster, Animal.
Getting rave reviews, the biopic came very close to being a Rs 100 Crore (Rs 1 billion) Club movie.
Zara Hatke Zara Bachke
Box office collection: Rs 88 crore (Rs 880 million)
One of the surprise hits post-pandemic, Zara Hatke Zara Bachke arrived with minimal promotion and still did quite well.
It opened well and its chartbuster songs helped as well.
As a small town boy-next-door, Vicky was accepted in the interiors too.
Bad Newz
Box office collection: Rs 66.28 crore (Rs 662.8 million)
Last year's Bad Newz featured one of the most successful dance songs in recent times, Tauba Tauba.
Thanks to that, Bad Newz was a moderate success and kept Vicky's successful run intact.
Bhoot: Part One - The Haunted Ship
Box office collection: Rs 31.97 crore (Rs 319.7 million)
One of the last releases before the pandemic, Bhoot: Part One - The Haunted Ship was a horror film that covered some distance.
Of course, those were the days when theatrical releases came with bigger expectations.
Bhoot: Part One - The Haunted Ship was meant to be a franchise but half a decade later, there's still no Part 2.
Manmaziyaan
Box office collection: Rs 27.09 crore (Rs 270.9 million)
A love triangle co-starring Taapsee Pannu and Abhishek Bachchan, Manmarziyaan deserved to do better.
Somehow, the Anurag Kashyap directorial disappeared after its initial run and Vicky didn't get the kind of recognition he should have got.
Raman Raghav 2.0
Box office collection: Rs 7 crore (Rs 70 million)
One of Vicky Kaushal's initial films, Raman Raghav 2.0 was primarily hinging on Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who was more popular back then.
The film was a major flop at the box office though critics were left impressed.
The Great Indian Family
Box office collection: Rs 5.65 crore (Rs 56.5 million)
Vicky's most disappointing commercial film was The Great Indian Family, which came with a noble theme of national integration and religious tolerance.
But it was too far-fetched and all over the place, and it disappeared as soon as it arrived.
