People became addicted to the song Srivalli which emerged as a major chartbuster and Allu Arjun dance moves went viral. This created tremendous buzz in addition to marketing. ## Thirdly the screenplay. Screenplay and Allu Arjun screen presence was the next factor. Pushpa screenplay was so engaging that it didn't even have a single dull moment in it. It was a purely commercial movie for the masses. The main thing that stood out from the rest in this movie was undoubtedly Allu Arjun aura and screen presence clubbed with his fantastic dialogue delivery. He played a larger than life character which the commercial audiences always wanted him to play. They established a huge connection with Pushpa character which helped them to get along with Allu Arjun's character, which further pushed masses into the theatre's. ## Pushpa did really marvellous business as compared to Kgf 2 and Bahubali - The beginning.

Mumbai, January 31 - As far as the box office is concerned, "Pushpa" has lived up to its title, "The Rise", and has done what most of the top Bollywood films have failed to do - to enter Rs. 100 crores net club in Hindi.## The Allu Arjun and Rashmika Manadanna-starrer is all set to become the 95th and perhaps one of the most deserving films to reach a quoted Rs. 100 crores club in Hindi in its 7th week at the box office. The action-thriller, an outright Telugu movie with minimal Hindi promotion, currently stands at Rs. 99.89 crores after the 7th weekend and will cross 100 crores on Monday. ## This box office achievement of "Pushpa - The Rise" has come at a time when most of the trade pundits ruled it out to go big. They seemed to be right after "Pushpa" (Hindi) had an average opening of Rs. 3.33 crores. However, the strong word of mouth and stardom of Allu Arjun has proved the film a long racehorse, which is nothing short of a phenomenal achievement. ## "Pushpa - The Rise's" box office journey has become even more special considering the most challenging fact that it has battled the covid-19 pandemic when there has been a closure of cinemas, restrictions, curbs, and general fear factor among the cine-goers. ## Directed by Sukumar, "Pushpa - The Rise" (Hindi) will have at least ten more days of a free run at the box office before Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar-starrer "Badhaai Do" arrives on February 11. The reopening of cinemas in Delhi and Harayana will also be beneficial to push its lifetime Hindi total between Rs. 103 crores to Rs. 105 crores. ## Stay tuned...
