Pushpa starring Allu Arjun has been released in multiple Indian languages, and the strategy has paid off really well. While the Telugu version was expected to take an earth-shattering start, the Hindi version too has now surprised many with its numbers at the box office.
Helmed by Sukumar, the film is almost 3-hour long, which is the main concern about its reception among the Hindi audience. Thankfully, the response has been quite good and word of mouth too has been encouraging. Being a pan India release, many found it surprising that the film wasn’t promoted aggressively with its Hindi version. But the day 1 outcome dictates totally a different tale.
Most box office enthusiasts have predicted a start of 2 crores for Pushpa’s Hindi version. However, the film is off to a much better start with 3 crores* coming in on day 1. Interestingly, it’s more than Yash’s KGF Chapter 1 (2.10 crores). Back in 2018, KGF had clashed with Shah Rukh Khan‘s Zero. Here, Allu Arjun’s film is facing stiff competition from Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. So, it’s indeed a good feat for the Hindi version!
