Salman-SRK’s Karan Arjun, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa Rerelease, Abhishek's I Want to Talk Box Office Collection: Figures Surprise!

Box Office Collection: The Indian box office is witnessing an exciting mix of nostalgia and fresh storytelling as three films make headlines for their performances. Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic Karan Arjun returned to theatres, rekindling memories of Bollywood’s golden era. At the same time, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise saw a strategic re-release, capitalizing on the buzz for its upcoming sequel. On the other hand, Abhishek Bachchan’s heartfelt film I Want to Talk brought a fresh narrative but is struggling to make a significant impact.

With these films catering to different audiences and sentiments, their box office collections reveal intriguing trends. Let’s dive into how they fared in this competitive cinematic landscape.

Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan’s Karan Arjun Re-Release Box Office Collection

According to reports, Karan Arjun continues to captivate audiences even decades after its original release. On its re-release, the film garnered an estimated ₹25–30 lakh on its opening day, followed by ₹40 lakh on the second day. This brings its total domestic net collection to approximately ₹65–70 lakh within two days, reaffirming the timeless appeal of this cult classic.

Originally released in 1995, Karan Arjun was the second-highest grosser of that year, earning ₹12.15 crore in lifetime collections. The film’s re-release reminds audiences why the "Bhai ka bharosa" and "Baadshah ka charm" continue to dominate Bollywood.

Allu Arjun’s Pushpa Re-Release Box Office Collection

The re-release of Allu Arjun’s blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise has sparked excitement among fans, especially with its sequel on the horizon. The Hindi-dubbed version of the film returned to select theatres, drawing steady footfalls despite its limited release.

On its opening day, Pushpa earned ₹20 lakh, a decent figure for a re-release. Fans are flocking to theatres to relive the powerful performance of Allu Arjun as Pushpa Raj, a character that has become a cultural phenomenon. With the weekend ahead, industry experts predict the movie could reach the ₹1 crore milestone during its re-run, cementing its status as a fan favorite.

The re-release serves as a strategic move to keep the momentum alive for Pushpa 2, ensuring that the franchise remains a strong contender in Indian cinema’s most-awaited releases.

Abhishek Bachchan’s I Want to Talk Box Office Collection

Abhishek Bachchan’s latest release, I Want to Talk, directed by Shoojit Sircar, has been praised for its emotional depth and Abhishek’s compelling performance. The film explores the bond between an ailing father and his daughter, striking a chord with viewers.

However, the movie has faced a challenging start at the box office. Released on November 22, 2024, the film collected ₹0.44 crore on its second day, taking its total to ₹0.69 crore. While the film’s occupancy rate was higher in evening and night shows, it still struggles to compete with nostalgic re-releases and larger-than-life blockbusters. The emotional storytelling and nuanced performances may yet find their audience, proving that not all box office victories are measured in crores.
