Certain segments of the audience could react strongly to Chhaava, which was always a possibility.  But going too far in turning such feelings into violent and vandalistic activities is risky.  Ten days have passed since the movie's premiere.  Despite earning over ₹300 crores at the box office, it has also incited anger among certain people who were profoundly impacted by how the Mughals treated Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
 
In Delhi, a group of individuals were recently observed urinating and damaging the street signs for Babar Road, Humayun Road, and Akbar Road.  Vijay Hindu and Daksh Chaudhary, who had previously slapped Congressman Kanhaiya Kumar, were two of the people who were identified.  Social media users are sharing a video of the group.  In it, a picture of Chhatrapati shivaji Maharaj is visible in place of Akbar's name, which has been blackened by the gang.  They also spilled ink and adhered a picture of shivaji to the babur Road board.
 
Daksh also requests in the video that the authorities rename these streets or else they will remove the boards.  On X, meantime, a user said that someone who could have been affiliated with isis was encouraging others to take revenge on the people in the video.  Tensions have increased as a result, and many people are demanding that individuals threatening others face legal punishment.  It is shocking to observe how quickly individuals defend the wrongdoings of their own people.
 
It was inevitable that Chhaava would cause controversy.  However, the events that transpire demonstrate that movies are more than simply amusement.  They affect beliefs, mold viewpoints, and, as seen here, may spark actual fights.  We can only hope that this movie won't spark a national riot that may break the calm.
