- A Tough Competitor for New Releases
Even with several new films vying for attention during the Christmas holiday season, Pushpa 2 is proving its staying power. Films like Mufasa: The Lion King, Barroz (Mohanlal's directorial debut), Max and UI in Kannada, Varun Dhawan's Baby John, and Vijay Sethupathi's Viduthalai 2 have entered the fray, but none have been able to unseat Pushpa 2 from the top. As the film gears up to enters its fourth week, it will be interesting to see how it continues to perform, but for now, its dominance at the box office remains unchallenged.
- A Bitter-Sweet Victory for Allu Arjun
While Allu Arjun is undoubtedly basking in the success of Pushpa 2, the actor is also grappling with the aftermath of the tragic Sandhya theatre stampede. The incident, which occurred on December 4 during a screening of Pushpa 2, resulted in the death of a woman and left her son hospitalised. Allu Arjun was recently arrested in connection with the incident. A crucial meeting is scheduled between the state government and industry representatives to find a resolution and ensure such tragedies are avoided in the future.
