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)

9. Housefull 4 - 24,07,00,000 (Partial Holiday)

10. Jawan - 23,08,00,000

11. Dangal - 22,39,00,000

12. Sanju - 21,62,00,000

13. Tiger Zinda Hai- 21,60,00,000

14. Krrish 3 - 21,33,00,000 (Partial Holiday)

15. Pathaan - 20,97,00,000

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

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

5. The Kashmir Files - 18,86,00,000

6. Stree 2 - 18,27,00,000

7. Dangal - 17,84,00,000

8. Jawan - 16,21,00,000

9. PK - 14,52,00,000

10. RRR (Hindi) - 13,35,00,000

11. Pathaan - 12,73,00,000

12. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 12,56,00,000

13. Sanju - 12,09,00,000

14. Bajirao Mastani - 12,00,00,000 (Holiday)

15. Kabir Singh - 11,86,00,000

16. Tiger Zinda Hai - 11,55,00,000

17. KGF - Chapter 2 (Hindi) - 11,41,00,000

18. The Kerala Story - 11,13,00,000

19. 3 Idiots - 10,54,00,000 (Holiday)

20. Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior - 9,71,00,000

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) saw a fantastic hold on Monday as it collected 41.50 crore nett which is just 22% down from the Friday. The Monday is a record when a film has had a normal release before the weekend as no film has got over 40 crore nett before.

The film also also crossed the 300 crore nett mark on Monday and stands at a huge 302.50 crore nett and it is possible the film could be standing at 400 crore nett at the end of the week. It will depend on the holds over the next few days. The film has seen bigger drops in the North and East while Mumbai and the Central circuits have seen superb holds.

Mumbai circuit is running riot as it has already crossed 100 crore nett in four days and it looks pretty certain that it will cross 200 crore nett in the long run. Both Maharashtra and Gujarat are on fire. CP Berar which has only seen KGF - CHAPTER 2 hit the 3 crore nett mark before PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE collected 3 crore nett on Monday. This is more than the first day of the 50 crore nett plus openers, JAWAAN, PATHAAN and ANIMAL.

The film will be around 100 crore nett ahead of STREE 2 and is sure to beat the total of that film which is the highest ever. It is also sure to be the first film to hit 600 crore nett in Hindi and you cant rule out a total of 700 crore nett plus as the film will get advantage of the Christmas and New Year period at the end of the month.

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

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

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE has basically recorded the highest Monday in history and the first film to cross 40 crore nett on Monday. There is TIGER 3 above it but that film was a Sunday release and Monday was the huge Diwali holiday and hence, that can be taken out. The size of this number can be put into perspective by the fact there are very few films over 30 crore nett on Monday without holiday support.

The 41 crore nett number has come after a four days of release while the next best Mondays post pandemic in terms of fair value, GADAR 2 and ANIMAL, came after three days. The collections on Monday are less than GADAR 2 in most of the mass pockets though Maharashtra and Gujarat are higher.

The Tuesday target will be to beat the ANIMAL record which is the highest first Tuesday on a non holiday. GADAR 2 had a huge total but it was a day before the national holiday. There is a good chance that Tuesday will be a record but now its actually about where the film lands on the second Friday and it should be targeting the highest second Friday ever. The way the film is going, it looks like it will smash all records for the next few weeks but all it takes is one drop and then records become tough.

Before PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE, STREE 2 had the highest Monday this year of almost 37 crore nett but that came on a holiday. There is a huge difference in the business of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and STREE 2 in Mumbai circuit and single screens across the country.

The top first Mondays of all time are as follows.

1. Tiger 3 - 56.08 crore (Holiday, Day Two)

3. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 39.81 crore (Partial Holiday)

4. Gadar 2 - 38.36 crore

5. Animal (Hindi) - 37.68 crore 

6. Stree 2 - 36.87 crore (Holiday)

7. Tiger Zinda Hai - 36.53 (Holiday)

8. Housfull 4 - 34.12 crore (Holiday)

9. Krrish 3 - 29.64 crore (Holiday)

10. Jawan (Hindi) - 28.61 crore

11. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 26.78 crore (Holiday)

12. KGF - Chapter 2 - 25.24 crore

13. Dangal - 24.98 crore 

14. Sanju - 24.63 crore 

15. Pathaan - 24.51 crore

16. Simmba - 21.19 crore 

17. PK - 21.15 crore 

18. War - 20,18,00,000  (Partial holiday)

19. Dhoom 3 - 19.87 crore 

20. Ek Tha Tiger - 18.96 crore (Holiday)

20. Tubelight - 18.14 crore (Holiday)

21. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil - 17.68 crore (Holiday)

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

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE is on a juggernaut run in Mumbai circuit as on Monday the film was higher in Mumbai circuit than Nizam/Andhra which is pretty much unthinkable for a big budget Telugu film. The film collected 14.45 crore nett in Mumbai circuit while the collections in Nizam/Andhra were just 12 crore nett with 84 lakhs nett in Marathawada giving Nizam/Andhra a total of 12.84 crore nett.

It means Mumbai circuit is more than 1.50 crore nett than Nizam/Andhra on Monday and this gap is likely to get bigger over the longer run. The film has not lived to expectations in Telugu. It cant be said the film has not performed in Telugu but the makers and distributors would have been expecting higher numbers in Nizam/Andhra and be much closer to RRR then it will eventually get.

In terms of occupancy it is the Hindi version which is scoring in Hyderabad on Monday. The Hindi version had a shockingly bad release in Hyderabad despite the demand which is the case with many of these Telugu dubbed films. The Hindi showcasing has improved but it still needs more shows.

The film has reached 107 crore nett in Mumbai including the Telugu version but Nizam/Andhra stands at 163 crore nett including Marathawada and the Hindi version. Hence, its too much to expect to Mumbai to go ahead of Nizam/Andhra but this gap of 56 crore nett will be much much less by the end of the films run.

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) recorded the highest opening day ever as it edged past the JAWAN (Hindi) number by around 1 crore nett. This may not seem a huge margin but it is much higher than it looks as there is a minimal contribution from the South. The film collected 65 crore nett apprx on day one but fair value is around 75 crore nett if we take it like an original Hindi film.

It is the second film to go over 60 crore nett in Hindi after JAWAN but this has come on a non holiday also which shows holidays hardly matter when there is genuine craze for a film. The film set insane records in circuits like Mumbai, CP Berar, CI, Bihar and Odisha. East Punjab was expected to be an under performer but has come out with an outstanding total of almost 5.50 crore nett. This is not the highest but much more than expected as it comfortably beats the likes of ANIMAL and STREE 2.

The slight under performance has come in Delhi/UP where the number is below JAWAN and a little higher than STREE 2. This is surprising considering the numbers from East Punjab and Bihar as one side of Delhi/UP circuit works like East Punjab and the other side works like Bihar. Bihar is simply insane as its looking to finish with a final total at almost 3 crore nett beating the KGF - CHAPTER 2 record by around 35-40%.

Mumbai circuit comfortably crossed 20 crore nett for the first time in history with phenomenal numbers in both Maharashtra and Gujarat. The all India numbers will come in at around 150 crore nett and will be updated later.

The film has another South star after Prabhas putting up huge numbers in the core of India but where the star status stands for Allu Arjun remains to be seen. Here it is not the star but the PUSHPA factor working just like it was with BAAHUBALI. The star status for Prabhas in the Hindi belts came from the films post BAAHUBALI and its the same for Allu Arjun as the level of stardom will depend on the numbers outside the PUSHPA franchise. It remains to be seen how this plays out and does Allu Arjun become a major star like Prabhas with the Hindi audience.

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

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE 2 hit out of the park as it set the highest opening day in Hindi of 65 crore nett with a non holiday Thursday release. It takes the potential of a Hindi blockbuster to get 75 crore nett with South on the first day though this is much easier to say than actually do.

The fact that the film was actually aiming for records that KGF - CHAPTER 2 held in mass pockets rather than JAWAN, PATHAAN or STREE 2 spells out the problems of the Hindi film industry in terms of mass penetration. In time, an original Hindi film may cross the 65 crore nett mark but the numbers that PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE has put up in Maharashtra, Gujarat, CP Berar, CI, Bihar an Odisha may well be a dream for that film which goes over 65 crore nett. Basically it will be setting a record with the help of South India.

The quicker the industry learns what is happening out there on the ground the better as if not then there will be more South films dominating with the biggest openings in Hindi. In history, the biggest films have always been raw and rustic films with a larger than life heroes with a couple of exceptions and at the moment there no makers in the Hindi film industry able to make this cinema leaving the door open for the South.

The comparison between JAWAN (Hindi) and PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) taking out South is 51.50 crore nett for the former and 62 crore nett for the latter and this is including Marathawada which goes into Nizam/Andhra circuit. This is a huge difference which should not be there when you are reaching your core audience. Simply put, the original Hindi film has a bigger market in the Hindi language and so, this original film should be dominating the box office numbers as well.

The top opening days for Hindi films are as follows (Hindi language only)

2. Jawan  - 63,87,00,000

3. Pathaan - 55,72,00,000

4.  Stree 2 - 53,12,00,000 

5. KGF - Chapter 2 - 52,39,00,000

6. Animal - 51,48,00,000

7. War - 50,61,00,000

8. Thugs Of Hindostan - 48,27,00,000

9. Bharat - 41,62,00,000

10. Tiger 3 - 40,88,00,000

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

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE has set new benchmarks in CP Berar and Bihar as it becomes the first film to collect 4 crore nett and 3 crore nett respectively in the two circuits. The Bihar record is most impressive as the margin it has between the number two films is extraordinary. The craze of the film is insane in the circuit.

It may well be said that the collections are this huge as the trailer was launched in Patna (Bihar) but its pretty much laughable as box office just does not work this way. Even if it was launched elsewhere, these collections would have still come. PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE has taken the circuit to a new level with this 3 crore nett number as no film had even hit 2 crore nett pre pandemic.

CP Berar also sees South domination and by margins as KGF - CHAPTER 2 is the only film to cross 3 crore nett and now PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE is the only film to cross 4 crore nett. There is a gap of almost 1.50 crore nett between PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE and STREE 2 which is the top original film. Maharashtra has always been strong for content from the South. Even in the 80's when the trend was remakes from Madras led by the Jeetendra/Sridevi starrers, it was Maharashtra leading the way in terms of box office collections.

The top collections for Hindi films in Bihar are as follows.

2. KGF - Chapter 2 - 2,17,00,000

3. Gadar 2 - 2,04,00,000

4. Jawan - 2,00,00,000

5. Pathaan - 1,85,00,000

The top collections for Hindi films in CP Berar are as follows.

2. KGF - Chapter 2 - 3,71,00,000

3. Stree 2 - 2,68,00,000

4. Pathaan - 2,63,00,000

5. Jawan - 2,55,00,000

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

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE set a record box office collection of 144 crore nett across India in all versions on its first day. This easily beats the previous biggest grossers (BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION, KGF - CHAPTER 2 and RRR). These films had all gone over 100 crore nett but remained under 110 crore nett. But PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE has gone over 140 crore nett on day one and there is 10 crore nett also from the paid previews on Wednesday which were mainly in Nizam/Andhra and Mysore/Karnataka.

The film, like BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION, scored in both the big collecting sectors of Hindi and Nizam/Andhra which was not the case with RRR and KGF - CHAPTER 2. In Nizam/Andhra, it fell a little short of RRR which is the biggest opener in the market but managed to edge past DEVARA (not counting paid previews). In Tamil Nadu, its pretty much similar to RRR and will possibly be the highest number ever for a Telugu film in that state. Kerala is also the highest for a Telugu film though it is less than KGF - CHAPTER 2. But it will be the Hindi version driving the film in the long run as reports down South are not as good as they are from the heartland.

If we count the paid previews, then the collections come out to 154 crore nett after the first day and there is another $7.5 million in Overseas which is like two days for the big South films. This gives the film a worldwide total of 247 crore after the first day. BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and RRR were the biggest before this and were around the 200 crore range. 

The all India collections of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE on day one are as follows. The Hindi version includes collections from the South.

Hindi - 65,00,00,000 appr

Nizam/Andhra - 55,00,00,000 apprx

Mysore/Karnataka - 8,25,00,000

Tamil Nadu - 8,25,00,000

Kerala - 5,10,00,000

Hindi Circuits (Regional Version) - 2,50,00,000

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

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE recorded a huge second day with collections of 53 crore nett in Hindi which takes the film to 118 crore nett in two days and looking at the advances for Saturday and Sunday, the box office is going to take a battering over the next two days. The film is very likely to cross the 250 crore mark over its extended four day weekend and a 70 crore nett day in Hindi language for the first time in history.

We may even see 75 crore nett on Sunday and it will be coming with a limited South which shows the rage the film is in the heartland. A comparison for the film is JAWAN which released on Thursday as well and the collections there were 45 crore nett on the second day while the first day was pretty much similar to PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi). The trend is at another level but there was always a chance of this happening considering how high the mass pockets were on day one.

These areas continued with extraordinary collections on second day and appreciation is such in these parts that it will be a surprise if this film does NOT become the highest grossing film ever in Hindi. The collections are a little less in the two big metros of Mumbai and Delhi but this is all comparatively and when the core of India is on side, it hardly matters if the two biggest centres are under performing by 5-10%. If we take Mumbai circuit, Mumbai city may be a little less but the next two biggest centers - Pune and Thane - are out of this world.

There is a drop in Nizam/Andhra but still the film is doing well there while the weakest market looks to be Kerala but again no surprise as when single screens of Bihar, CP and CI are running riot like this, its hard to expect the film to be breaking records in Kerala. Basically the film is going to smash records because of the Hindi heartland. The Telugu industry is famous for calling all their films as MASS films but this is a genuine one as it can only be a mass film in India when it works in the Hindi heartland which is the heavy populated part of India.

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

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

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE collected 91 crore nett on its second day driven by the Hindi version which was almost 60% of the all India collections. The first day share in Hindi was 45%. The film collected 65 crore nett in Hindi on day one and 79 crore in South while day two was 53 crore nett in Hindi and 38 crore nett in South.

The film has dropped in South India in all the southern circuits though the business in Tamil Nadu still remains excellent for a Telugu film. Despite the drop, the film still has potential to hit 1000 crore mark in India, a feat which has only been achieved by BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION in the history of cinema in India.

The two day numbers stand at 245 crore nett and no doubt Saturday and Sunday should record better numbers than Friday. Then, the film could have around 275 crore nett over the first four days.

The all India collections of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE  on day two are as follows. The Hindi version includes collections from the South.

Hindi - 53,00,00,000 apprx

Nizam/Andhra - 23,50,00,000 apprx

Mysore/Karnataka - 5,50,00,000 apprx

Tamil Nadu - 5,50,00,000 apprx

Kerala - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Hindi Circuits (Regional Version) - 1,50,00,000

The collections of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE till date on all versions are as follows.

Wednesday - 10,00,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,44,10,00,000 apprx

Friday - 91,00,00,000 apprx

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

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE (Hindi) has destroyed all box office records in the first three days as it collected 185 crore nett apprx in the first three days and there is a huge Sunday to come which will be the highest single day collection in history.

The film missed that feat by a minimal margin on Saturday as the collections finished a little less than the Sunday of JAWAN. But nothing like that will happen on Sunday as the carnage has already started in morning with many cinemas declaring collections higher than Saturday as they are full in advance. There will be capacity issues on Sunday but lets see how far high the number can go.

The records are practically everywhere and its actually easier to point out where its not a record. It is just one circuit and that is Delhi/UP where the film is not the highest for the first three days as collections are a little short compared to JAWAN and PATHAAN but surely, the lifetime will go ahead of these films and also the record holder for the circuit, that is, STREE 2.

The film beat the lifetime collections of FIGHTER in two days flat in CP Berar, Bihar and Odisha and in three days in Mumbai, Rajasthan and CI. The film was always the one which had potential to hit the 200 crore nett mark in Mumbai circuit and that number looks on as the film will be standing at over 85 crore nett in just four days. In this circuit the film could be ahead of the likes of PATHAAN and ANIMAL within one week. 

PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE is almost certain to be the highest collection ever in Hindi even though competition will arrive in the third week.

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
