Till yesterday, Kalki 2898 AD, headlined by Prabhas, held the record for selling the highest number of tickets in an hour (95.71K) on the Book My Show portal. Now, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 shattered the Kalki record on its release day. This Sukumar’s directorial now holds the all-time record by selling 97.74K tickets in an hour.
It is noteworthy that Kalki achieved this record during the weekend, while Pushpa accomplished it on the very first day. Going forward, Pushpa 2 will be breaking its own record each day. The PAN Indian action drama is expected to become the first Indian film to hit the 150K mark by the weekend.
Pushpa 2 was supposed to achieve the record yesterday itself, but due to the severe load, a technical glitch occurred on the ticket booking platform. It will surely be an uphill task for the upcoming PAN Indian films to break the BMS records set by the Allu Arjun starrer.
