Last year, we witnessed several big clashes at the Indian box office, and this year, too, exciting competition is awaiting us. In August, we’ll be seeing Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 and Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again locking horns with each other at ticket windows. Without a doubt, this clash is going to bring in a lot of cash, and we might see new records. Keep reading to know more!
The craze of Pushpa 2’s Hindi version is unreal
The first installment of Pushpa was released in 2021. Amid the COVID scare and strict rules of occupancies in theatres, the film turned out to be a commercial winner. Specifically speaking about the Hindi version, it emerged as a huge blockbuster and went on to cross 100 crores net collection in its long theatrical run.
Pushpa emerged as a huge success not just in the theatrical run but also on the small screen. From the dialogues and songs to the character style of Allu Arjun’s Pushpraj, everything gained popularity among the masses. In fact, the film has now become a modern-day cult.

With such a glory of the predecessor, there’s an insane buzz for Pushpa 2 on the ground level. The anticipation has been reaching new heights with each passing month, so don’t be surprised if some unheard feats are achieved.
Pushpa 2 to withstand Singham’s roar to match Baahubali 2’s magic?
Both Pushpa 2 and Singham Again are releasing on the 15th of August this year. Just like the Pushpa sequel, there’s a huge buzz for Singham Again, too. Ajay’s Singham character is a cult among Hindi audiences, and even it has huge potential at the box office. So, there will be a huge competition in the Hindi belt, where the two franchise films will collide.
In such a situation, the chances of matching the box office performance of Baahubali 2’s Hindi version look very tough. For those who don’t know, the Hindi dubbed version of Baahubali 2 did a business of 511 crores, and it’s the only Hindi dubbed South film to enter the 500 crore club.
Pushpa 2 (Hindi) could hit the 500 crore milestone if it enjoys a solo release. But never say never, as we have seen in the past, that films have done unthinkable things at the box office.
