However, the action thriller has collected more than Rs. 84 crore in 4 weeks, shocking trade pundits and industry alike. And now, Bollywood Hungama has learnt that Manish Shah of Goldmines Telefilms, who acquired the Hindi rights, has made a great profit through this film.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Manish Shah acquired the Hindi rights of Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01 for Rs. 28 crores. He spent approx. 5 crores on dubbing and other miscellaneous expenses, and a further Rs. 11 crores on expenses for digital technology and release. Hence, his total investment came in the range of Rs. 44 crores.”
The source continued, “Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01’s distributor share is expected to be around Rs. 40-41 crores which will nearly cover the cost of the acquisition and other expenses. Manish Shah has sold the TV rights of the film for Rs. 30 crores while the digital rights have been sold for Rs. 10 crores. In short, the film’s Hindi version will net Rs. 80-81 crore approx. from all formats for Goldmines Telefilms.

A trade expert said, “The film’s collections slowed down a bit over the weekdays and now that it’s out on OTT, the collections will further come down. It’s expected to do well on digital. And when it comes on television, it’s sure to break records, and this will benefit the opening of the sequel, Pushpa 2 – The Rule.”
