According to Sacnilk.com, the revenue of ‘Pushpa 2’ increased by 71% from Friday to Saturday. The Hindi version of the film was the most profitable by contributing Rs 62.3 crore. While the Telugu version earned Rs 13 crore, the Hindi version earned Rs 46 crore at the box office.
The film grossed Rs 195 crore from external markets, taking its total profit to Rs 1106 crore, making it the sixth Indian film to achieve this feat.
According to reports, ‘Pushpa 2’, thanks to its incredible success, will soon earn more than the two highest-grossing Indian films Jawan (Rs 1148 crore) and KGF Chapter 2 (Rs 1208 crore). Given that there are no major new releases competing with the film in India, industry analysts are predicting a record-breaking second weekend for the film.
Nevertheless, the film’s international profits began to decline, with daily earnings falling below $1 million after the 5th day. This decline could affect Pushpa 2’s chances of overtaking Dangal and Baahubali 2, the two highest-grossing films of all time, which have earned huge sums. Over Rs 1500 million globally.
