Gujarati Hit Laalo–Krishna Sada Sahaayate Outshines Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava in Week 6 Collections

Gujarati cinema has scripted history with Laalo–Krishna Sada Sahaayate, which has surpassed Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava to register the highest sixth-week box office collection of 2025. The film’s extraordinary performance is even more remarkable considering its small regional scale, limited screen count, and modest production budget.

Directed by Ankit Sakhiya and featuring Karan Joshi, Reeva Rachh, Shruhad Goswami, Anshu Joshi, and Kinnal Nayak, the film has become a cultural and commercial sensation across Gujarat and select pockets nationwide.

Laalo–Krishna Sada Sahaayate collected a staggering ₹24.40 crore in its sixth week, overtaking Chhaava, which earned ₹16.30 crore during the same period. This achievement places the Gujarati film among the rare regional titles to display such exceptional long-term theatrical strength.
