Pushpa 2 is on a juggernaut run in Mumbai circuit as on Monday the film was higher in Mumbai circuit than Nizam / Andhra which is pretty much unthinkable for a big budget Telugu film. The film collected 14.45 crore nett in Mumbai circuit while the collections in Nizam / Andhra were just 12 crore nett with 84 lakhs nett in Marathawada giving Nizam / Andhra a total of 12.84 crore nett.

It means Mumbai circuit is more than 1.50 crore nett than Nizam / Andhra on Monday and this gap is likely to get bigger over the longer run. The film has not lived to expectations in Telugu. It cant be said the film has not performed in Telugu but the makers and distributors would have been expecting higher numbers in Nizam / Andhra and be much closer to RRR then it will eventually get.

In terms of occupancy it is the hindi version which is scoring in Hyderabad on Monday. The Hindi version had a shockingly bad release in Hyderabad despite the demand which is the case with many of these Telugu dubbed films. The Hindi showcasing has improved but it still needs more shows.

The film has reached 107 crore nett in Mumbai including the Telugu version but Nizam / Andhra stands at 163 crore nett including Marathawada and the Hindi version so its too much to expect to Mumbai to go ahead of Nizam / Andhra but this gap of 56 crore nett will be much much less by the end of the films run.
