After being humiliated by Pushpa in the first movie, Shekhawat vowed to take revenge and destroy Pushpa.

Data from Elara Securities revealed that footfalls during November have been muted, with an occupancy rate of around 25%. October occupancy was particularly low, falling below 20%. However, December is set to be one of the best months for cinema chains, driven by strong movie releases. Pushpa 2 is likely to achieve more than 40%+ occupancy, with overall Q3FY25 occupancy set at 29-32%.

The brokerage also believes that Pushpa 2 would provide a boost to the industry's adv revenue which was muted in the October - November period.
