After a long wait, the trailer for Pushpa 2 was finally released yesterday during a huge event in Patna’s Gandhi Maidan. The event had a large crowd, and the excitement for the film was clearly visible. Allu Arjun, the star of the film, looked in great form in the trailer, and the response from fans has been very positive. Now, the big question is: Will this boost the movie’s box office numbers? Let’s break it down!
The first Pushpa movie came out in 2021, and even with COVID restrictions, it did well at the box office, especially in the Hindi market. The film’s songs, dialogues, and overall popularity spread all across India. With such success from the first film, excitement for the sequel is at an all-time high.
The Pushpa 2 trailer was released at 6 pm IST yesterday and quickly became a hit, racking up 62.4 million views on YouTube within just 16 hours across all languages. This shows that there’s a lot of buzz around the film, and the makers seem to have hit the right note with the trailer.
Although some people think the trailer was only “average,” most viewers seem to love it, which is increasing the excitement even more. One thing is clear: Pushpa 2 is likely to break box office records right from Day 1.
The film is set to release on December 5, which is not a holiday. However, because it’s releasing solo (no major competition), with premium pricing, and an IMAX version, the film is expected to earn huge numbers. The Hindi version alone is expected to earn 55-60 crores on its opening day, and that number might be even higher than expected.
For the Telugu version, estimates show 70-80 crores for Day 1, with a chance it could even surpass 80 crores. The Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam versions are expected to earn 12-15 crores combined. When all the versions are added together, Pushpa 2 could earn anywhere from 137-155 crores on its first day in India.
Currently, the biggest opening in Indian box office history is held by RRR, with 134 crores. However, Pushpa 2 is expected to break that record when it releases on December 5.
