India, notably North India, is experiencing unprecedented levels of excitement for Pushpa: The Rule. This sequel to the smash hit pushpa is widely anticipated by both fans and industry insiders. Expectations are quite high due to Allu Arjun's enormous fan base and the first movie's success.
According to reports, pushpa 2 has already made an astounding ₹900–1000 crore in pre-release revenue. Netflix purchased the movie's OTT rights for a record-breaking ₹275 crore, highlighting the considerable excitement around its premiere. If the movie receives good reviews, this unique pre-release hype will lead to a massive box office result.
On december 6, pushpa 2 and Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, which narrates the tale of the Great Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj of the maratha Empire, are scheduled to data-face off. However, Chhaava is having trouble establishing itself at the box office due to pushpa 2's enormous success. With pushpa 2 in the competition, Chhaava has to make about ₹200 crore domestically in order to be deemed a hit. Anil Thadani, Pushpa's distributor, has obtained a large number of screens for pushpa 2 in North India, particularly by combining it with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
Chaava has every advantage to be a huge success, particularly in the maharashtra area, where it has the potential to become one of the greatest songs ever. But its chances will be harmed if it clashes with the pushpa 2 tornado. Chhaava could find it difficult to even open given Allu Arjun's star power and the pushpa franchise's proven worth. On its first day, it could only make ₹10 crore, which is a meager amount for a big-budget movie. As a result, Chhaava's producers have remained silent and may be reevaluating their release plan, maybe hoping to postpone it until Independence Day 2025, which seems like a better date for a movie of this data-size.
