Max vs Pushpa 2 (Kannada)
Pushpa 2: The Rule is roaring loudly in Indian theatres. It has completed three weeks at the box office but continues its unstoppable run. While Hindi is the best-performing language, it is also minting moolah in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada.
Allu Arjun starrer has made earnings of 7.48 crores net in 20 days. Kichcha Sudeep starrer has surpassed that mark on its opening day, which is incredible.
However, it is to be noted that Max is an out-and-out Kannada film. On the other hand, Pushpa 2 is a Telugu film dubbed in various languages. So, a direct comparison will not be entirely fair. The new highest-grossing film in India has performed exceptionally in all languages.
