Pushpa 2, starring Allu Arjun, has achieved an extraordinary milestone by joining the prestigious Rs. 800 Crore Club.
While earlier films like Stree 2 and Jawan entered the Rs. 600 Crore Club, neither managed to approach the elusive Rs. 700-crore mark. However, Pushpa 2 has not only shattered that barrier but also set a new benchmark by racing past Rs. 800 crores in record time.
The feat was almost accomplished on Thursday but fell short by a few crores. Finally, on its fifth Friday, the film crossed the landmark.
This action-packed drama has achieved this feat in just 30 days, with a staggering daily average of approximately Rs. 27 crores.
Such consistency over a month is almost unprecedented, especially since the film’s current daily collections have dipped to single digits. This remarkable performance highlights how massive the opening weeks were for Pushpa 2.
Over the weekend, the average is expected to improve further due to increased footfall, even as weekday collections are anticipated to decline slightly with the holiday season coming to an end.
Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2 collected Rs. 3.50 crores on Friday, bringing its total to Rs. 801.20 crores. While a double-digit collection is unlikely on Saturday, the film could have another strong push on Sunday, potentially aiming for Rs. 10 crores to add to its already phenomenal run.
Pushpa 2’s success underscores the enduring appeal of Allu Arjun’s charismatic performance and Sukumar’s masterful direction. The film’s gripping storyline and high-octane action sequences have struck a chord with audiences across the country, contributing to its box-office dominance.
As the first Hindi film to enter the Rs. 800 Crore Club, Pushpa 2 has redefined box-office success and set a benchmark for future releases. With its spectacular run showing no signs of slowing down, it will be exciting to see how far this cinematic juggernaut can go.
