Pushpa 2: The Rule has theatres across the country bursting at the seams, with analysts estimating that the Allu Arjun starrer is on track to become the fastest film to cross the ₹1,000 crore mark.
This blockbuster success comes as a much-needed relief for the film industry, which had been grappling with declining box office (BO) performance and lower footfalls in cinemas post-Covid.
"The film is expected to reach ₹800 crore in India across all languages by the fourth day of its release," said movie trade analyst Girish Wankhede.
A few Indian films have entered the ₹1,000 crore club, including Dangal (directed by Nitesh Tiwari), Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (directed by S S Rajamouli), and the most recent, Kalki 2898 AD, starring Prabhas.
