With the release of Jersey postponed this weekend, each movie in the race benefitted to some extent. Opening in December was always going to provide less visibility than earlier months but it didn’t make it any easier when Delhi shut down all theaters. One can only hope they fare better now that there is less competition so we’ll just have to see how well they do over the next few weeks before passing judgement.
In the single screens at the mass belt, Pushpa is saving the day. Keeping footfall coming and breathing life back into cinema owners who are in need of some hope for a few more days – she’ll hopefully go past Rs 47 crore which she’s already attained. But when it comes to Friday and what follows after: RRR; since the movie is probably going to be the biggest one from here until December- there might be some slowdown felt for Pushpa.
With 83 showing an upward trend at the box office this week, Pushpa is set to make even more money over this next weekend.
