Pushpa Party: Is SRK Getting Washed Out?

The entire attention of the Telugu community now is on the theatrical debut of pan Indian biggie Pushpa 2 which is up for release on the 5th of December. Ahead of the priced release of the Allu Arjun starrer, there are a lot of debates on the forthcoming box office projections.

Particularly, there is a lot of talk about the Hindi language prospects of the Allu Arjun starrer. This got aggravated with the recent Bihar event which was a smashing success there.

Allu Arjun is now a big deal in Hindi and the chances are that Pushpa 2 might open on a blockbuster note at this market. This is the kind of stuff that everyone has been rooting for.

Coming to the actuals, SRK’s Jawan which made Rs 65 crores nett at the Hindi box office on the opening day was a mega blockbuster. Thus far, this is the highest collecting Indian film in the Hindi belt. So, this is now the benchmark for Pushpa 2 to hit.

In any case, Pushpa 2 is bound to collect Rs 55 crores nett at the box office. If the last minute zest is also on point with the aggressive promotional campaign that is in place for the film, it might well touch the Rs 70 crores nett mark as well in Hindi.

If Pushpa 2 really can touch the Rs 70 crore mark and wash away the tracks of SRK’s Jawan, then this would well and truly mean that Telugu cinema has taken over Indian cinema and not even Bollywood superstars can stop this phenomenon.
