Let there be War, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, Joker or Dream Girl, Nitesh Tiwari’s Chhichhore has been unaffected. The Sushant Singh Rajput-Shraddha Kapoor-starrer is continuing its impressive run at the box office, and it has now achieved another milestone. The movie has now gone on to hit the Rs 150-crore mark at the ticket windows, proving how almost unanimously it is being loved by the audiences. In the process, trade experts have termed it a ‘blockbuster’.
Chhichhore continues fine run
After minting Rs 15.30 crore in the fourth week of its release, Chhichhore had a good fifth weekend as well as it earned close to Rs 1.50 crore. The tally took the collections past the Rs 150-crore mark. As per Trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who tweeted the figures, Chhichhore is a 'blockbuster' and its success proved all the ‘calculations and estimations’ wrong.
"#Chhichhore proves all calculations and estimations wrong as it cruises past ₹ 150 cr... One of the biggest success stories of 2019... [Week 5] Fri 27 lakhs, Sat 54 lakhs, Sun 72 lakhs. Total: ₹ 150.36 cr. #India biz,” Taran Adarsh tweeted on Monday.

Even for Sushant, the hit comes at the right time after the debacle of Sonchiriya. It is also his highest-grossing film of all time, beating MS Dhoni: The Untold Story which had earned around Rs 135 crore in India.For Shraddha, though Saaho didn’t live up to expectations, this is another film that has minted moolah for her.
