'Pushpa - The Rise' Hits Century At The Hindi Box Office

Mumbai, January 31 - As far as the box office is concerned, "Pushpa" has lived up to its title, "The Rise", and has done what most of the top Bollywood films have failed to do - to enter Rs. 100 crores net club in Hindi.## The Allu Arjun and Rashmika Manadanna-starrer is all set to become the 95th and perhaps one of the most deserving films to reach a quoted Rs. 100 crores club in Hindi in its 7th week at the box office. The action-thriller, an outright Telugu movie with minimal Hindi promotion, currently stands at Rs. 99.89 crores after the 7th weekend and will cross 100 crores on Monday. ## This box office achievement of "Pushpa - The Rise" has come at a time when most of the trade pundits ruled it out to go big. They seemed to be right after "Pushpa" (Hindi) had an average opening of Rs. 3.33 crores. However, the strong word of mouth and stardom of Allu Arjun has proved the film a long racehorse, which is nothing short of a phenomenal achievement. ## "Pushpa - The Rise's" box office journey has become even more special considering the most challenging fact that it has battled the covid-19 pandemic when there has been a closure of cinemas, restrictions, curbs, and general fear factor among the cine-goers. ## Directed by Sukumar, "Pushpa - The Rise" (Hindi) will have at least ten more days of a free run at the box office before Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar-starrer "Badhaai Do" arrives on February 11. The reopening of cinemas in Delhi and Harayana will also be beneficial to push its lifetime Hindi total between Rs. 103 crores to Rs. 105 crores. ## Stay tuned...

Makers Set The Bar High For Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa - The Rule' After Unthinkable Success In Hindi

Mumbai, January 30 - There aren't many South Indian films that have had success in Hindi. Among the few successful films, superstar Allu Arjun's Telugu actioner, "Pushpa - The Rise" is the latest to join the list. ## The Sukumar-directed has done an unthinkable in the Hindi dubbed version at the box office, which is now tempting the makers to set the bar high for its next chapter, titled "Pushpa - The Rule". After what "Pushpa - The Rise" has done in Hindi, the anticipation for the second part is sky high among the fans as well as in trade.## As per the industry sources, the theatrical and post-theatrical rights of "Pushpa - The Rule" are in huge demand. One of the leading studios has reportedly offered a whopping sum of Rs. 300 crores to grab all the rights of "Pushpa 2", mainly because of the success of the Hindi version. However, the makers are reportedly eyeing more. ## The anticipation for "Pushpa 2" is a no hidden thing now and it seems makers are very well aware of it and hence, they want to cash in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There is no doubt Allu Arjun is a big star in North India, and "Pushpa - The Rise" has successfully proved that becoming a box office monster.## It is still too early to predict what will be the box office outcome of "Pushpa - The Rule", especially in Hindi, but the way things stand a present, it might repeat the box office success of Prabhas-fronted "Baahubali - The Conclusion". There is another South Indian film, "KGF: Chapter 2", which is eyeing to become a potential blockbuster in Hindi.## "Pushpa - The Rule", however, has no fixed release date yet. Sukumar is currently writing the script for the second part and it has been reported that part 2 will be more dark and thrilling. The writer-director has reportedly added one more villain apart from Fadhad Faasil in part two, which is currently being planned to start production from April 2022. ## Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, and Muttamsetty Media, "Pushpa 2", which also stars Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead, might release in early 2023.## Stay tuned...

Manish Shah Of Goldmines Telefilms Predicts Box Office Fate Of Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa - The Rule'

Mumbai, January 22 - Allu Arjun's "Pushpa - The Rise" (Part 1), which was released on December 17, shocked the industry and trade experts with its phenomenal box office outcome in the dubbed Hindi version. This Sukumar-directed, however, has had an average opening in Hindi, but strong word of mouth helped it put up a strong show at the box office, clocking Rs. 90 crores in Hindi till now. ## Manish Shah of Goldmines Telefilms has the Hindi dubbed rights and it is said that he generated over Rs. 40 crores profit from the theatrical release of the film. He is now looking optimistic about the box office potential of part two, titled "Pushpa - The Rule". The hype for "Pushpa 2" is already sky-high, and it could repeat what Prabhas' "Baahubali - The Conclusion" did in Hindi belts. ## "Pushpa 2" is slated to go on floors in April 2022, and the makers are eyeing to release it in December this year. Manish Shah, during a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, had said that the movie might not release this year but he is confident that it will be a historic blockbuster and might even break "Baahubali 2's" box office record in Hindi. ## "In my opinion, Pushpa 2 – The Rule is going to be a historic blockbuster. I don't know how many records it will break", he said. Baahubali 2 had made a whopping Rs. 510 crores in Hindi (highest ever in Hindi). Shah believes that if executed well, "Pushpa 2" can break that record.## "Well, there's a possibility. Baahubali's first part collected Rs. 120 crores. Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01 will end up with a lifetime of Rs. 93-94 crores. Therefore, the difference is only 30%. 50% zyada mehnat kar di hum sab ne to Pushpa 2 Baahubali 2 ka record tod degi! (If we have worked 50% more, then Pushpa 2 will break the record of Bahubali 2)", he added.## The script of "Pushpa 2" is currently being developed by Sukumar. It is said that the second part will have one more antagonist besides Fahadh Faasil, who will be the main villain in the film. Rashmika Mandanna played the female lead and will continue her role in part two as well. It is produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Muttamsetty Media.## Stay tuned...
