Excited viewers are uploading pictures and videos from movie screenings, depicting the charged environment within cinemas. But a drastic incident happened in Bharuch, Gujarat, where a furious viewer ripped the cinema screen at the climax of the movie.
Audience Reaction Becomes Excessive Action
The incident occurred while Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna Viewer Reduce Cinema Screen in Gujarat to Tears Over Mughal Atrocities SceneChhava was being screened at a multiplex in Bharuch. When the climax of the movie was being shown, where the Mughals’ brutal atrocities on Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj were being portrayed, a spectator named Jayesh Vasava lost his temper. He was filled with emotion and rage and ran towards the screen and ripped it to shreds. People present at the theatre were left shocked by the act, which soon became a subject of discussion on social media.
The Gujarat police acted promptly and arrested Jayesh Vasava for vandalizing the property of the theatre. The local authorities have assured that the investigation is in progress, and stern action will be taken against any such acts of vandalism in cinemas.
Box Office Domination Despite Controversy
In spite of the outcry for Chhava, the film continues to reign at the box office. Released on February 14, the movie has already reached the elite ₹100 crore club in just three days and doesn’t seem to be looking back. The engaging plot, power-packed performances, and bigger-than-life visuals have struck a chord with the audience and thronged cinemas across India.
Vicky Kaushal’s acting as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj has been well received, and Rashmika Mandanna’s acting has also been well received. The movie, directed by Laxman Utekar, depicts the life, struggles, and bravery of Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
A Film That Evokes Emotions
Chhava has been more than just a film experience—it has raised passionate feelings in audiences. The presentation of events from the past by the film has evoked nationalist feelings and both praise and aggressive responses, as observed during the Gujarat event.
As the movie marches on to a winning streak at the box office, theatre owners and security guards are on their toes to avoid any such incidents in the future. Chhava’s effect is unmistakable, as it not only entertains but also evokes strong nationalistic pride among audiences.
