These days there is a huge discussion about two big films in theatres. On one hand, ‘Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge’ is making record breaking earnings across the country and its shows are continuously going housefull. On the other hand, in some South Indian states especially, 54-year-old superstar Pawan Kalyan’s film ‘Ustad Bhagat Singh’ seems to be the first choice of the audience.

Big collection of ‘Dhurandhar 2’
On the other hand, the total collection of ‘Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge’ is quite big.
Preview: Rs 43 crore
First day: Rs 99.1 crore

Total India Collection: ₹220.50 crore
However, the film performed relatively weak in the Telugu market:

Day 2 (Telugu): Rs 1.30 crore
These figures show that the film is not getting the expected response in the South.
Hindi vs South: Who has the upper hand?
While ‘Dhurandhar 2’ is making huge money in the Hindi belt, the dominance of ‘Ustad Bhagat Singh’ is clearly visible in the Telugu states. Although ‘Dhurandhar 2’ is still far ahead in the overall worldwide collection, the competition is getting tougher at the regional level.
Story of ‘Ustad Bhagat Singh’
The story of the film revolves around a man who is inspired by his teachers to fight against injustice and social oppression. When he stands firm on his ideals and raises his voice, he has to face many difficulties and challenges.
What will happen next?
Now it remains to be seen whether ‘Ustad Bhagat Singh’ is able to maintain its hold or whether ‘Dhurandhar 2’ strengthens its hold in every market in the coming days. This contest at the box office is going to become more interesting in the coming days.
