Icon Star Allu Arjun’s Pushpa has been one of the most talked-about releases in recent times. Despite mixed reviews, Allu Arjun’s performance and Sukumar’s presentation impressed many and the film even opened to great openings at the box office. Despite so many positives going for itself, Pushpa couldn’t turn out to be a successful endeavor for the makers in terms of collections.
The AP and Telangana business amounted to Rs 106 crores. Out of these, the makers returned Rs 8 crores to the distributors in the Andhra Region. The West region is Geetha Arts release and will be decided later. In Krishna, it is the producer’s own release. However, even these regions have brought losses to the extent of Rs 5 crores.
Coming to other returns, the producers overall collected Rs 93 Cr in Telugu states as theatrical rights. The Hindi version was sold at Rs 30 Cr including all. To this, the producer has received an ROI of Rs 22 crores with all other languages. The overseas market has fetched the makers another Rs 13 crores. The South Indian digital rights were sold at Rs 22Cr to Amazon Prime Video, and the satellite rights are around Rs 25Cr. The total business for makers from Pushpa: The Rise is Rs 205 Cr including all.
As revealed by the makers themselves, the budget of Pushpa: The Rule will be in excess of Rs 200 crores and if we see the collection from the first version, they haven’t recovered that cost from here. However, the makers will be having a big advantage as the film has received tremendous response in the other languages and the buzz is at a real high.
