Trailer Trending, US $1M: Pushpa Madness All Over

The stage is being preapred for the grand theatrical debut of Allu Arjun and Sukumar’s Pushpa 2 which is up for release on the 5th of December. The film has a lot riding on it and there is a lot riding into the pre release theatrical buzz of the intense actioner.

Now that the Pushpa mania has started to grip all over, here is a look at the kind of stuff that the film is pulling up at the ticket counters and also on the digital mediums.

As per latest reports, Pushpa 2 has clocked over 120 million views in under 48 hours which is a mighty feat in itself. This is a mad number, considering the kind of reach that it has attained. The increased penetration of the first part and the sequel advantage for the second part are evidently working the trick here.

Coming to the USA box office prospects, these are looking pretty positive as well. The film has reportedly collected in the range of $1 million from the USA premieres already. This is a positive trend two weeks prior to the release.

Now, a lot will depend on the trend after the arrival of the trailer. This will be the decisive trend for the film. Considering that Devara minted in the vicinity of $3.5 million and this could be a benchmark for the forthcoming films, it has to be seen if Pushpa 2 will breach this mark ahead of the release.

Pushpa 2 is a commercial actioner featuring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles and it is helmed by Sukumar. The film is produced on a lavish scale by Mythri Movie Makers and the stakes are pretty high on this one.

Kanguva Producer’s Wife Sparks Controversy with Bold Disha Patani Comment!

In the glittering world of cinema, where every frame is scrutinized and every word can echo like a firecracker, Neha Gnanavel’s recent comment has ignited a debate hotter than a summer blockbuster. The wife of Kanguva producer KE Gnanavel Raja found herself at the center of a storm after her remarks about Disha Patani’s character, Angela, sparked controversy. What began as an attempt to address criticism soon spiraled into a larger conversation about representation in films.

Neha, responding to social media complaints about Angela’s limited screen time, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her thoughts. “Because Angela’s character is not the whole movie Kanguva is about! Angela can’t be in 2.5 hours of film! Basic, so yes, she was there to look pretty!!!” she wrote. While her comment seemed intended to clarify the character’s purpose within the story, its tone sparked backlash, with many arguing it perpetuated stereotypes of women in cinema.

Her post, which was later deleted, became a lightning rod for criticism. Critics pointed out that such statements reduce female characters to ornamental roles, reinforcing outdated perceptions. Neha attempted to address the backlash in a follow-up post, stating, “It’s one brain and perspective (director) presenting to crores of audiences! We welcome criticism, not targeted propaganda!” However, the damage was done, as the debate extended beyond Angela’s character to the broader issue of gender representation in mainstream films.

While Kanguva continues to be celebrated for its scale and storytelling, Neha’s comments have ignited a subplot no one expected. As social media users dissect her words and debate their implications, one thing is certain: in the age of digital discourse, every word is part of the script. And in this case, the role of the producer’s wife might just be the unexpected plot twist. As for Neha? She might be wishing for an Angela-like role in real life-appearing briefly, looking pretty, and then gracefully exiting!
