Pushpa 2 is showing an impressive hold in its Hindi version on day two, with collections expected to settle around ₹50 crore net, following a massive ₹65 crore net on its opening day.
The estimated drop of 20-25% is considered excellent, especially for a film that saw unprecedented numbers in mass-dominated regions on its first day.
The two-day total for the Hindi version is projected to be approximately ₹115 crore net.
The film is already a certified blockbuster, but sustaining this momentum is key. A significant jump on Saturday could position Pushpa 2 as the first Hindi film in history to cross ₹70 crore net in a single day.
If Saturday sees robust growth, the film has the potential to achieve a ₹250 crore net total over its first four days. However, this milestone hinges on how well it consolidates its gains over the weekend.
While certain mass-market areas are experiencing slightly steeper drops compared to day one’s unprecedented highs, the collections in these regions remain at record-breaking levels.
National chains are holding stronger, with drops closer to 20% rather than 25%.
Should Pushpa 2 reach the ₹250 crore net mark by the end of its four-day weekend, it will join an elite club of only 5-6 films that have achieved such a feat over an entire week.
Meanwhile, the film is witnessing some declines in southern markets, which were anticipated, and it remains to be seen where the collections stabilize in these regions.
