Pushpa 2 (Hindi) is on the verge of becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time in India. After fourteen days in theatres, the film collected Rs. 552.50 crore nett, currently behind Stree 2 (Rs 580 crore) and Jawan (Rs 558 crore). However, this difference is due to the lesser contribution from South India, unlike the other two films. When you compare the circuit numbers of the Hindi belt, the true magnitude of the box office phenomenon becomes clear and nowhere is it more prominent than in Central India.
In the Bollywood business, Central India has traditionally been defined as a circuit comprising western Madhya Pradesh. For this article, it refers to the geographical center of the country, which includes parts of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Maharashtra. While Gujarat is technically in western India, its proximity to the central region and its similar movie watching preferences make it a relevant inclusion.
Pushpa 2 has become the highest-grossing film of all time in Central India, surpassing Baahubali 2. The total collection in this area is Rs. Net income of Rs 135 crore compared to Rs. 123 crores of Baahubali 2. Ultimately, Pushpa 2 is expected to widen this gap further. Going up to Rs 175 crore. 190 crores. To put it in perspective, only two other films have crossed Rs. 100 crore in Central India: Gadar 2 (Rs 119 crore) and Stree 2 (Rs 106 crore), paint a sorry picture for Bollywood.
Individually, Pushpa 2 is the highest grossing film in Gujarat and CP Berar and will reach the top in Central India today as well.
