'Pushpa - The Rise' Worldwide Box Office Overtakes 'Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior', According To Producers

Hyderabad, February 5 - The biggest Indian hit of 2021, the Telugu movie "Pushpa - The Rise", starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, has successfully completed 50 days at the box office on February 4. Released on December 17, last year, "Pushpa" has brought the smile back to the exhibition sector and the cinema-loving audiences.

Directed by Sukumar, "Pushpa - The Rise" was released in multiple languages, marking the first Pan-India film for the Icon Star. By surprising one and all, it registered a gigantic success in Hindi by crossing Rs. 100 crores net collection, a rarity in current circumstances for a dubbed version.



Meanwhile, the makers of "Pushpa" celebrate the movie's successful 50 days at the box office with an official social media post. With this, the makers also revealed that the actioner has grossed over Rs. 365 crores worldwide, which is the biggest for an Indian film during the entire covid-19 pandemic.

Going by the producers' box office figures of "Pushpa", it has now at least Rs. 4 crores more than Ajay Devgn-fronted "Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior", which had grossed Rs. 361 crores worldwide in January 2020.

"Pushpa - The Rise" is also the biggest since Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff-fronted "War" in October 2019. "War" was released just before the pandemic first emerged in China in late 2019, even though India first registered a covid case in January 2020. So it is safe to say that "Pushpa" is the biggest pandemic Indian hit at the worldwide box office if we consider producers' box office data true.

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with Muttamsetty Media, "Pushpa" is a two-part release and the second part is currently in the pre-production stage. The first part depicts the rise of a coolie in the smuggling syndicate of red sanders, a rare wood that grows only in the Seshachalam Hills of Andhra Pradesh state.
