Will Allu Arjun Beat Shah Rukh Khan’s Supremacy By Garnering 50 Crore+ Through Weekend Pre-Sales?
Pushpa 2, starring Allu Arjun in the titular role, is all set for a rampage at the Indian box office from Thursday onwards. The film is currently the most anticipated Indian film, and it has the potential to break almost every existing record. Specifically, the Hindi version is expected to pull off earth-shattering numbers, starting from the advance booking. But will it be able to challenge the mammoth numbers garnered by Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan? Let’s see what’s the target!
The upcoming Pushpa sequel is a true blue pan-Indian film, and we can sense the organic buzz on the ground level. More than the performance of Telugu or other versions, all eyes are set on how the biggie performs in the Hindi-dubbed version. The padding of a popular character and franchise has generated a huge curiosity on the ground, and the stage is already set for a big explosion.
The full-fledged advance booking for Pushpa 2 is expected to begin tomorrow and will perform best in the Hindi market. While it is aiming to register record-breaking numbers for the opening day, it also has a chance to surpass the opening weekend pre-sales for Hindi films.
Currently, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan is in the top spot among the highest opening weekend pre-sales for Hindi films. It registered advances of a staggering 55.50 crore gross for the first weekend. This data includes the advance booking for the opening weekend before the first show starts on the opening day.
Among Hindi-dubbed versions of South releases, KGF Chapter 2 is at the top with 42.50 crores. Pushpa 2 is expected to easily surpass this number. It’ll be interesting to see if the biggie crosses Jawan.
Top 5 opening weekend pre-sales of Hindi films:
Jawan – 55.50 crores
Pathaan – 55 crores
KGF Chapter 2 – 42.50 crores
