Pushpa 2 Crosses Rs 800 Crore!

Pushpa
2
has
done
the
unthinkable.

It
has
shown
that
when
a
film
is
truly
accepted
by
audiences,
the
market
potential
is
in
a
different
league
altogether.

The
year
before,


Bollywood
achieved
Rs
500
crore
(Rs
5
billion)
at
the
box
office.

Last
year,

Stree
2
raised
the
ante
by


debuting
the
Rs
600
Crore
(Rs
6
billion)
Club.

Now,
just
the
Hindi
version
of

Pushpa
2
has
shown
that
even
Rs
800
crore
(Rs
8
billion)
is
possible,
something
it
has
achieved
in
its
fifth
weekend
itself.
The
film
records
Rs
813
crore
(Rs
8.13
billion)
collections
until
Monday.

There
isn’t
anything
that
stopped
the
film’s
journey,
be
it
Hollywood’s

Mufasa
which
entered
the
100
Crore
(Rs
1
billion)
Club
or
Bollywood’s

Baby
John,
which
is
struggling
to
score
even
Rs
40
crore
(Rs
400
million).

It
has
been
one
non-stop
run
for
the
Allu
Arjun
starrer
and
by
the
look
of
things,
it’s
not
coming
to
an
end
anytime
soon.

Pushpa
2
is
a
bumper
success
and
rest
assured
when

Pushpa
3
arrives,
it
will
take
a
blockbuster
start.

Meanwhile,
the
re-release
of

Yeh
Jawaani
Hai
Deewani
has
done
quite
well
in
its
opening
weekend.

Though
the
promotion
and
marketing
of
the
re-release
was
primarily
through
the
social
media
handles
of
Dharma
Productions,
the
target
audiences
seemed
well
aware
about
the
release.
There
was
genuine
interest
amongst
audiences
to
relive
the
film
on
the
big
screen.

After
taking
a
start
in
the
excess
of
Rs
1
crore
(Rs
10
million)
on
Friday,
the
film
continued
to
grow
with
every
passing
day
as
the
shows
were
increased.

As
a
result,
its
weekend
collection
went
past
the
Rs
6.50
crore
(Rs
65
million)
mark
and
the
weekdays
look
strong
as
well.
This
means
the
first
week
total
would
be
around
Rs
10
crore
(Rs
100
million).

Note:
All
collections
as
per
various
box
office
sources.
