Pushpa (Hindi) did decent business of around 12 crore nett across India with the Maharashtra, Gujarat and Odisha regions showing good collections. Gujarat was very good on Sunday as it went past the 1 crore nett mark. The other areas did not perform too well especially North India. UP had a good jump in some single screens on Sunday but the bigger centres performance like Lucknow, Kanpur and Dehradun were not too good.

The jump on Sunday could have been bigger but the areas that had been scoring from day one did not jump. A lot depends on how the film holds on Monday but it stands a good chance to hold on Monday as the ticket pricing drop factor will not affect much its not doing much business where the ticket prices drop on Monday. Also the way Maharashtra has performed over the three days it should hold well and so should Gujarat. Pushpa also collected around 2 crore nett in Telugu in Hindi circuits with 65% of the business coming from Maharashtra and Odisha.

These numbers are all fine with a low risk investment film like Pushpa but are very depressing numbers for a film like RRR which is another Telugu dubbed film but with a huge investment risk which is on the lines of a Hindi blockbuster films. There is no business from South India as the original versions of these films play there so North India becomes a must for a bigger film and that is a huge task as they hardly find an audience there and how far can Maharashtra take you unless you are Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior. The first weekend collections of Pushpa (Hindi) are as follows.

Friday - 3,30,00,000

Saturday - 3,75,00,000

Sunday - 5,00,00,000

TOTAL - 12,05,00,000
