Pushpa 2 Box Office Collection Day 36: Allu Arjun's film hit a slump, 'Game Changer' set to join race

Pushpa 2 Box Office Collection Day 36: After a very long and successful theatrical run, earnings for Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule have hit a slack. The movie managed to mint just ₹2.15 crore on Thursday, in a ₹2 crore trend that began as the week started on Monday.

To revive the film's earnings slow-down, its makers have announced the release of its extended version. The ‘reloaded version’ will offer viewers additional 20 minutes of footage, making Pushpa 2 the longest Indian film, with a runtime of 3 hours and 40 minutes.

The release, earlier planned for January 11, director Sukumar's birthday, has now been postponed to January 17 “due to technical issues.”

However, it remains to be seen if the movie will be able to keep the audience interested for another week, especially with Ram Charan's Kollywood movie ‘Game Changer’ in the race. The 2 hour-44-2-hour-44-minute movie is set to hit the big screen on January 10.
