PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) continued is superb run on Tuesday as it collected almost 35 crore nett and is the second highest first Tuesday ever after GADAR 2. However, it was a national holiday for the Sunny Deol starrer. ANIMAL is the highest non holiday first Tuesday and PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE has beaten that but not by much and ANIMAL was only 1 crore nett less.

The film now has a total of 337 crore nett which is already the highest first week total (7 days) beating the 317 crore nett of PATHAAN. The extended first week is targetting a total in the range of 390-395 crore nett which is way far ahead of anything seen before and this will be coming from a very limited contribution of South of hardly 20 crore nett. The likes of PATHAAN, JAWAN and ANIMAL were in the 50-60 crore nett range here.

Mumbai circuit continues its bonkers run and is racing towards a 200 crore nett. To put Mumbai into perspective, its going to beat the likes of JAWAN and ANIMAL within 9-10 days and Mumbai is no minor circuit but the biggest circuit for Hindi films. North India (Delhi/UP, East Punjab) is less if we compare to Mumbai but it can still put up record numbers or close to it in these two circuits as well. The dubbed version has worked in Maharashtra with Maharashtrian characters and that has pushed Maharashtra to another level.

It is about where the second Friday lands now. There has only been one film on second Friday to go over 20 crore nett and that is ANIMAL and this film will be the second one. It remains to be seen if the second Friday is a record or not.

The collections of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) till date are as follows.

Thursday - 65,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 53,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 67,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 76,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 41,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 34,75,00,000 apprx

------------------------------------------

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE recorded the second highest first Tuesday of all time and the highest non holiday first Tuesday of all time. The only other film to go over 30 crore nett is ANIMAL which shows how huge this number is.

The trend of the film on Tuesday is weaker than ANIMAL but that can be due to the extended weekend where it ran up insane numbers which can lead to bigger drops than compared to a three day weekend film. STREE 2 also has a weaker trend than ANIMAL but eventually put up more collections post the first week compared with ANIMAL though its probably due to an extended period with no major releases.

The victory of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE is in mass belts as collections in the multiplexes are less than ANIMAL and on Monday, it actually saw a lower contribution than STREE 2 at the national chains despite having better all India collections. The industry today goes by how these national chains go but its always about the circuits and when a film succeeds at lower the ratio at these chains, then the bigger hit it will be.

The top first Tuesday collections of all time are below

1. Gadar 2 - 55,23,00,000  (Holiday)

3. Animal - 33,17,00,000

4. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Hindi) - 29,78,00,00

5. Simmba - 27,93,00,000 (Holiday)

6. War - 27,13,00,000 (Holiday)

7. Kick - 26,82,00,000 (Holiday) 

8. Stree 2 - 25,00,00,000 apprx (Partial Holiday)

------------------------------------------

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) was outstanding on Wednesday as it collected 29 crore nett which is the second highest first Wednesday ever after GADAR 2 not counting when Wednesday is the first day for a film. GADAR 2 got an overflow on Wednesday as the national holiday saw another level of craze which fed over to the next day. As a result, the drop for that film came on the Thursday.

The film is better than ANIMAL on Wednesday and STREE 2 was down to under 20 crore nett on Wednesday. The film is dropping around 15% daily and now its about whether this trend continues over the next two days or does it change as to put up a record on the second Friday, it will have to show a better trend.

The film has a total of 366 crore nett in seven days which is by far the highest ever and to become the biggest grosser ever, it really need a record second Friday as even if its around the 20 crore nett mark it is going to be first film to hit the 600 crore nett mark. The film is seeing a weaker trend in some of the Eastern and Northern circuits and no doubt they are going to do huge numbers but it will be interesting to see if they reach record levels.

Mumbai is a hurricane as the film will topple ANIMAL's lifetime in just eight days and then PATHAAN in nine days The total in Mumbai circuit for the Hindi version stands at 125 crore nett in seven days. No film has ever collected 100 crore nett in Mumbai in seven days before and here PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE stands at 125 crore nett apprx.

The collections of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) till date are as follows.

Thursday - 65,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 53,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 67,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 76,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 41,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 34,75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 29,00,00,000 apprx

------------------------------------------

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE has smashed first week records by huge margins as it collects almost 50 crore nett more than PATHAAN in the first week and this is without any holiday support. It is the third 300 crore nett week one grosser and the first film to cross 350 crore nett in a week. If we take out the collections from South, then PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE is the ONLY film above 300 crore nett and also hits the 350 crore nett mark.

The huge gap between PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and the rest should mean that it should have set a new high in very circuit in Hindi but that remains to be seen. The potential of a big film is going higher and higher and very fast. It was just post pandemic that 250 crore nett was hit with KGF - CHAPTER 2 and now two and a half years later, we stand at 350 crore nett. Pre-pandemic, 200 crore nett was seen as a big number for the first week and only six films had managed that feat.

Now it remains to be seen when this PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE benchmark will be broken and it will be tough one but with the luck of the draw and holiday support it can be done. Here a bumper initial and mass appreciation have come together to enable records being beaten by margins and that without holiday support.

The top first week collections of all time are as follows.

2. Pathaan - 3,17,06,00,000

3. Jawan - 3,15,79,00,000

4. Animal- 2,92,36,00,000

5. Gadar 2 - 2,81,87,00,000

6. Stree 2 - 2,64,60,00,000

7. KGF - Chapter 2 - 2,50,51,00,000

8. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 2,46,47,00,000

9. Sultan - 2,08,99,00,000

10. Tiger Zinda Hai - 2,06,04,00,000

11. War - 2,03,39,00,000

12. Tiger 3 - 2,02,41,00,000

13. Sanju - 2,00,16,00,000

14. Dangal - 1,92,38,00,000

15. PK - 1,81,26,00,000

------------------------------------------

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) had an extraordinary extended first week of 390 crore nett plus and ended the last day of the week with 25 crore nett which no film has ever managed to do. In fact, very few films have ended up with 20 crore nett on the last day of the week and it also has to be noted here that it was an eight day week.

The film has seen daily drops over the weekdays which are in that 15% range but that is going to happen when collections are at such huge levels. The collections of the film in Mumbai, CP Berar and Odisha are already ahead of some of the biggest grossers in just eight days. The film has set Mumbai circuit on fire and while that 200 crore nett mark is an impossible task, this film looks to be cruising to the 200 crore nett mark.

The second Friday will give an idea of where this film will go. The first week has seen the film just white wash every record in the book by margins but that will be more difficult from here on. The records may still come but the margins will be much less. The second week record is a long standing record still held by BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION and in order to beat it cannot drop another 15% from Thursday. PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE is also superb in overseas in Hindi. 

The collections of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) till date are as follows.

Thursday - 65,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 53,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 67,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 76,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 41,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 34,75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 29,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 25,00,00,000 apprx

------------------------------------------

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE has collected 669 crore nett across India in all versions in its extended first week. Basically, the film crossed the business of KALKI 2898 AD in just seven days which was the highest grosser of the year before PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE. The film also crossed JAWAN which is the highest grossing film from the Hindi film industry to release in many versions. JAWAN also achieved it within seven days.

The film also added $23 million in overseas over eight days in all versions which is 194 crore and the India GROSS is 807 crore giving the film a total of 1001 crore in eight days. Overseas, the Hindi version is excellent but the Telugu version has not done as per expectations. Its likely that the Telugu version collections could stay behind KALKI 2898 AD but Hindi should ensure the overall overseas gross is more than the Prabhas-starrer.

The target for the film is to become the second 1000 crore film in India after BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION and a lot depends on the Hindi version as that is the main contributor from here on. The contribution from the regional versions was not even 10 crore nett on the last day of the week.

The all India collections of the film in eight days are as follows.

Hindi - 3,91,25,00,000

Regional Version (Hindi Circuits) - 7,25,00,000

Nizam/Andhra - 1,81,00,00,000 apprx

Karnataka/Mysore - 39,50,00,000 apprx

Tamil Nadu - 38,00,00,000 apprx

Kerala - 12,00,00,000 apprx

------------------------------------------

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) created another record on its second Friday as it recorded the highest collection for the second Friday beating the numbers of ANIMAL. The film also held up very well from the Thursday showing a very minor drop and that also was mainly due to the East where the film lost around 50 lakhs nett.

The other circuits just cancelled each other out with some showing minor gains and other showing minor falls. Mumbai continues its juggernaut run and has crossed the numbers of ANIMAL and is likely to cross PATHAAN and JAWAN today. Even the records mass single screen blockbusters like KGF - CHAPTER 2 and GADAR 2 will be done and dusted before the weekend is out.

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE is on course to create more history as it looks to become the first film to hit the 100 crore nett mark in the second weekend. The growth is outstanding on Saturday and this record will be on and this should lead to the long standing record of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION for week two to be broken. The film stands at 416 crore nett at the moment and for here it can be said the film has the potential to go to the 650 crore nett at least. It can go higher also but then its becomes about how the film trends from the third week onward. 

The collections of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) till date are as follows.

Thursday - 65,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 53,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 67,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 76,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 41,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 34,75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 29,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 25,00,00,000 apprx

Friday - 24,75,00,000 apprx

------------------------------------------

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE recorded the highest second Friday and became the second film to go over the 20 crore nett on the second Friday after ANIMAL. This number can take the second week to another level if the film trends like how STREE 2 did. In recent time, there are films with higher second Fridays than STREE 2 like ANIMAL and GADAR 2 but the trend of those films were held back with clashes against films which were doing pretty well themselves.

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE has the potential to trend like STREE 2 or close to it from a far higher second Friday which led to all second week records being broken. The 15 crore nett mark has only been crossed by seven films. To put this 25 crore nett into perspective is that there only 19 films that have gone into double digits and over 10 crore nett and here is a film flirting with 25 crore nett.

The target for the film is the first 100 crore nett second weekend in history and then the first 150 crore nett second week in history. Before the pandemic, a 100 crore nett second week was a mission with only BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONLCUSION and DANGAL achieving this feat but now we are looking at a 100 crore nett second WEEKEND.

Below are the top twenty second Fridays of all time.

2. Animal - 22,27,00,000 

3. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 19,81,00,000

4. Gadar 2 - 19,62,00,000
