Bollywood celebs get a smack in the face with Pushpa

The rural drama Pushpa: The Rise (Hindi), starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, continues to be a box office success. The film is already giving Ranveer Singh’s sport-based drama 83 a run for its money. Pushpa’s Hindi remake has surpassed the Rs 100 crore mark. Film Pushpa has done almost Rs 100 crore in the Hindi circuit, according to self-proclaimed critic Kamaal R Khan. Huge congrats to Allu Arjun for such a tremendous feat! “It’s a smack in the face to Bollywood celebrities.”

“True,” a netizen added. Bollywood is devoid of originality. Songs – Remixes of classic songs; Movies – Remakes of current South Indian superhits or biopics…”

Another person on Twitter stated, “It’s past time for tollywood to take over Bollywood.” Bollywood is no longer representative of India or its culture. Telugu films are popular in India because they portray Indian culture and family values. All that is required is to sell Telugu films in the Hindi belt. “Wishing you success with #PushpaHindi.”

Despite all of the hurdles, including COVID-related limitations in the nation, the action drama Pushpa: The Rise, directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, is doing well.

Sukumar and Allu Arjun, on the other hand, are now working on the film’s second instalment, Pushpa: The Rule.

Everyone is emulating the characters, the movie’s iconic dialogues, and superhit songs in their social media accounts, from fans to superstars like Neha Kakkar, Sophie Choudry, David Warner, Suresh Raina, Hardik Pandya, and Ravindra Jadeja. The film has also done well in Hindi cinema, grossing over 100 crores.

Now, trade analyst and critic Kamal R Khan has taken to Twitter to discuss how the Telugu film ‘Pushpa’ is a “slap in the face of Bollywood stars.” “Film #Pushpa has done approx. 100Cr business in Hindi circuit,” he tweeted on Thursday. Congratulations to @alluarjun on such a fantastic accomplishment! It’s a slap in the face to Bollywood celebrities.”
