The movie led by Vicky Kaushal was released in theatres on February 14. Praising the movie, PM Modi said, “In dino to Chhaava ki dhoom machi hui hai (Chhaava is making waves throughout the country these days)”. He added, “Ye Maharashtra aur Mumbai hi hai jisne Marathi filmo ke saath saath, Hindi cinema ko ye unchai di hai. Aur in dino toh, Chhaava ki dhoom machi hui hai. (It is Maharashtra and Mumbai that have elevated Hindi cinema along with Marathi films. And these days, Chhaava is making waves)”.
PM Modi also highlighted the historical significance of the film.

The caption read, “Asha Tai has seen me grow… both in height and in life. Yesterday, she watched #Chhaava and insisted, ‘You should stand up, your gaze needs to be lifted.’ This has always been her way of showing love and protecting me from an abundance of it. So happy to have her in my life!”
