Pushpa 2 To Enter 700 Cr Club This Week

There
were
multiple
new
releases,
across
languages,
last
weekend.
But

Pushpa:
The
Rule
(Hindi)
continued
to
rule
the
roost.

The
film
gathered
huge
moolah
and
set
a
new
record
for
the
third
weekend.
On
Friday,
the
box
office
numbers
read
Rs
12.50
crore
(Rs
125
million),
Saturday
saw
Rs
20.50
crore
(Rs
205
million)
coming
in,
and
Sunday
had
Rs
25
crore
(Rs
250
million)
coming
in.

This
is
spectacular
because
during
all
of
2024,
most
movies
have
struggled
to
have
these
kinds
of
numbers
even
in
their
entire
lifetime.

This
goes
on
to
show
that
the
Allu
Arjun-Sukumar
film
is
here
for
a
really
long
run
and
will
not
go
off
the
theatres
anytime
soon.

The
Hindi
version
has
already
collected
Rs
690
crore
(Rs
6.9
billion)
and
in
just
a
couple
of
days,
it
will
also
create
the
Rs
700
Crore
Club
(Rs
7
billion).

 

The
other
release

Mufasa:
The
Lion
King
is
a
prequel
to

The
Lion
King,
and
it
enjoyed
a
weekend
of
around
Rs
32
crore*
(Rs
320
million*).

There
will
be
dip
in
collections
on
Monday
but
will
remain
stable
on
Tuesday
again,
since
it’s
Christmas
Eve.

On
Wednesday,
the
collections
will
grow
again
due
to
the
festivities
kicking
in.
It
won’t
be
surprising
if
this
turns
out
to
be

Mufasa‘s
biggest
day
since
release.

 

Anil
Sharma’s

Vanvaas
also
released.

Last
year,
Sharma’s

Gadar
2
was
a
blockbuster
but
his
new
film
is
a
family
drama
focusing
on
aged
parents.
A
theme
like
this
would
find
it
very
hard
to
find
an
audience
and
that
reflected
in
the
sub-par
collections
on
Friday
when
less
than
a
crore
were
accumulated.

Somehow,
the
film
did
manage
to
cross
Rs
1
crore
(Rs
10
million)
mark
each
on
Saturday
and
Sunday,
as
a
result
of
which
the
weekend
reads
as
Rs
3
crore*
(Rs
30
million).
However,
with
the
kind
of
credentials
that
the
film
carries,
especially
with
Nana
Patekar
leading
the
cast,
the
collections
needed
to
be
much
higher.

*Estimates.
Final
numbers
awaited.
Note:
All
collections
as
per
various
box
office
sources.
