Pushpa 2 Storm!
There’s a cut-throat competition at the Hindi box office. Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2 recently became the highest-grossing film in the Hindi belt in India. It is enjoying a glorious run, and it has piqued massive interest among the cine-goers.
Baby John is being showcased in around 2500-3000 screens. The showcasing would be larger, had Pushpa 2 not been in the scene. But the battle is intense and Allu Arjun starrer took the lead on Christmas. Only time will tell if the tables will turn in the coming days.
