Pushpa 2 box office collection day 5 early report: Allu Arjun film expected to close in on Rs 900 crore mark 

Having an almost 23.75% occupancy rate for the Telugu version and 22.42 % for the Hindi version on a working day morning is a strong showing. Considering the film released across the country in maximum number of screens, it won’t be a surprise if it manages to make similar numbers to its first Friday. In the domestic market, Pushpa 2, across all six versions – Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Bengali, made Rs 93.8 crore on Day 2 (Friday). So, it is expected that the Monday numbers would be similar to this, and end up pushing the worldwide collection to almost Rs 900 crore. 

If this trend continues, Pushpa 2: The Rule might break into the Rs 1000 crore club within a week of its release. It has already become the fastest film to breach the Rs 600 crore club, and it is continuing to break records like it is just another Monday at the office. In comparison, the domestic numbers of Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD, which is the highest grossing film of the year so far, was at Rs 494.5 crore at the end of Week 1. Pushpa 2: The Rule crossed the Rs 500 crore mark in India within four days of the release.

With the Rs 1000 crore club entry not a pipedream anymore, it would be interesting to see where Pushpa 2 lands in the overall scheme of things. SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2 currently holds the top spot in the domestic collections of Indian films with a whopping Rs 1416.9 crore in gross collections, followed by Prashanth Neel’s KGF 2 with Rs 1000.85 crore. The question on everyone’s mind now is whether Pushpa 2 will join them in the prestigious Rs 1000 crore club.
