Mumbai, December 9 - Pushpa Raj annihilates the Hindi box office with an unimaginable collection. The movie had heavily frontloaded record opening weekend and was anticipated to see some drop on Monday, however, that isn't the case as the movie has a much better than expected hold with a record non-holiday Monday collection. ## Pushpa 2 - The Rule is witnessing a drop under 50% from the monstrous Sunday collection and just around 20% drop from the huge Friday which is truly remarkable as early estimates suggest a 45-47 crores net collection on its first Monday/fifth day, depending on how strong offline shows are.## Irrespective of where the final collection lands, 45 crores net seems to be locked for the first Monday which takes its total Hindi collection to around 330 crores net in just 5 days, making it the fastest to reach 300 crores net collection. The full first week is heading towards a record 400 crores net (+/-).## Apart from the out-of-the-park collection in Hindi, Pushpa 2 has a decent hold in Telugu states as estimates suggest 13-14 crores gross, followed by 4-5 crores gross in Karnataka and 4-5 crores gross in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Overall, Pushpa is estimated to gross 75-80 crores on its first Monday which is a fantastic hold. ## The total domestic collection of the film is around 700 crores gross after 5 days and the full week is heading towards 800+ crores gross. It is likely to enter the 1000 crores domestic gross club during the second weekend. ## Stay tuned...
