Allu Arjun’s latest movie Pushpa: The Rise is continuing to perform exceptionally well at the box office as the action thriller has crossed the Rs 150 crore mark, according to analysts.
The Hindi version of the film has earned Rs 20 crore in five days, and the day five earnings have been higher than the first two days.
The movie's show runs have been increased at multiplexes, as per film and trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
The movie collected Rs 4.25 crore on Monday, Rs 5.18 crore on Sunday, Rs 3.55 crore on Saturday and Rs 3.11 crore on the opening day in the North circuit.
Adarsh said that Pushpa: The Rise has taken the Hindi film industry by surprise as experts were not expecting much from Allu Arjun's movie on account of the release of SpiderMan: No Way Home. He, however, added that content “is doing the talking eventually.”
Trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan wrote that Pushpa has zoomed past the Rs 150 crore-mark in five days.
He wrote, "#Pushpa WW Box Office. Flies past Rs 150 cr gross mark. Day 1 - Rs 57.83 cr. Day 2 - Rs 36.79 cr. Day 3 - Rs 37.91 cr. Day 4 - Rs 12.34 cr. Day 5 - Rs 9.68 cr. Total - Rs 154.55 cr. #AlluArjun #RashmikaMandanna."
