Pushpa 2 Telugu day one collection details
In the Hindi market, the action drama has also had an impressive start, collecting over ₹50 crore on day one. Back in the Telugu states, Allu Arjun’s film has created havoc at the box office.
In Telangana alone, Pushpa 2 grossed a massive ₹25 crore on day one, surpassing SS Rajamouli's RRR, which made ₹22 crore on its first day. Across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the film collected a share of ₹40 crore on day one, setting a new record for the highest-ever opening for a Telugu film.
These impressive numbers include revenue from premiere shows in the Telugu states, which were held a day early. The film’s craze has been overwhelming, with fans going berserk. Unfortunately, this frenzy led to a tragic incident where a stampede occurred at a single screen in Hyderabad, resulting in the death of a woman. A case has been filed against Allu Arjun and his team for failing to notify authorities about the potential crowd management issues.
Ticket prices become an issue for Pushpa 2
As the weekend progresses, the film's numbers are expected to remain strong. However, high ticket prices have caused some backlash among audiences. Ticket rates for Pushpa 2 in multiplexes in the Telugu states are ₹500, while single-screen tickets are priced at ₹350, leading to reduced occupancy in some theaters. Fans have urged the makers to lower ticket prices, but the producers remain firm, given the film’s substantial pre-release sales.
To break even, Pushpa 2 needs to gross at least ₹1,000 crore worldwide. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers on a budget of ₹450 crore, the film has already shown promise overseas. In the United States, Pushpa 2 has grossed over $4 million and needs to reach $12 million to enter the safe zone.
With a solid start and positive momentum, all eyes are on how much Pushpa 2 will earn in the coming days. Stay tuned for more updates on this box office phenomenon.
