The highly anticipated sequel Pushpa 2: The Rule has become a major success across India. Made with a budget of Rs 400-500 crore, the film has already earned over Rs 750 crore in just nine days! The Hindi version has been especially popular, making up 60.1% of the total earnings, which is about Rs 453 crore.
Ramesh Bala, a film industry expert from Chennai, believes this film is a big deal for southern movies making waves in northern India, saying that a film crossing Rs 100 crore in Hindi is a clear sign of its success. He compares Pushpa 2 to another hit, K.G.F: Chapter 2, which also met fans’ expectations.
The movie is shown in over 6000 screens across India and about 2000 screens abroad. Ameya Naik, the head of Fantasy Films, mentions that the film connects strongly with audiences in smaller cities and rural areas. It has powerful themes like fighting against unfairness, family values, and overcoming tough situations.
More than 90% of movie showings in non-southern states are for Pushpa 2. High ticket prices have also helped boost its earnings. Experts believe the film could collect between Rs 1100-1200 crore because it has very little competition for the next eleven days.
