One of the most anticipated movies of the year 2021 is the Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa: The Rise. The film, costarring Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil, and directed by Sukumar, with music by Devi Sri Prasad, hit the big screen on the big screen on 17th December 2021. It has been making headlines since the beginning, with its fantastic promotional material, and we’re not only talking about the trailer. Speaking about grabbing headlines, Pushpa sprung a huge surprise on day 1 in the Hindi markets, collecting Rs. 3 crore nett in its Hindi version, A good initial is nothing though if the growth is absent, and it’s here where the film has truly scored.
Pushpa: The Rise well on day 2, Saturday, bringing in Rs. 4 crore nett, and has now seen another fine Sunday spike, raking in a further Rs. 5 crore nett for a very healthy opening weekend collection of Rs. 12 crore nett in the Hindi belt, At first glance, the figures may not seem much, but considering that these are untested waters for Allu Arjun with his first pan-India release and the fact that Pushpa released on very limited screens, with limited and odd show timings, the collections are nothing short of shot in the arm and a wakeup call to exhibitors. In fact, several screens and shows were already added for Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1 on day 2.
Check out the day-wise box-office collection of Pushpa’s Hindi version below:
Day 1 (Friday): ₹3 crore nett
Day 2 (Saturday): ₹4 crore nett
Day 3 (Sunday): ₹5 crore nett
Total (1st weekend): ₹12 crore nett
This also certifies superstar Allu Arjun’s in-built fanbase in the North, West Central and East circuits, cultivated over years of his dubbed South movies enjoying fantastic viewership on TV channels, YouTube and OTT platforms. Several shows were running to housefull occupancy throughout yesterday, admirably braving the Spider-Man: No Way Home storm.
