Icon Star Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise got off to a stunning start at the box office last week. Such has been the anticipation for the film that it broke many existing records across multiple territories. The film opened to mixed talk and average reviews. This, however, didn’t stop the movie from putting massive figures through the first weekend.
For example, Pushpa has already established many all-time records including the opening day Nizam record. The film has surpassed Prabhas’ Saaho to set this benchmark.
Pushpa: The Rise is not just doing great in Telugu, but also in its Hindi version across the north market. In the process, this Allu Arjun starter has outperformed KGF which also was a massive success in the Hindi market. KGF’s 1st weekend in Hindi raked in a net of Rs 9 cr while Pushpa has already breached the Rs 10 cr mark for the opening weekend.
While this is a great sign for Sukumar and team, there is a worrying trend that has just started. After a super successful weekend, the Telugu version of the film has started seeing drops. The occupancy levels have seen a drastic downfall and if it continues the same way, breakeven would be extremely tough especially in Andhra and overseas.
