Bharat Bandh enters day 2; banking, transport services partially hit on 1st day

This Bharat Bandh is India’s first major protest since the state elections. The 48-hour protest entered its second day on Tuesday. It has been called by a group of trade unions protesting against what they call “anti-worker and anti-farmer policies”.

The supply of Goods and services can be affected in a number of states, including Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Kerala, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh among others.

High court orders prohibit government employees from abstaining from work, calling it illegal. In Kerela the State-run buses did not operate while taxis, auto-rickshaws and private buses kept away from the roads.

Left-backed agitators have blocked train tracks and also protested on streets in West Bengal. The state government was criticised by the Left for not supporting a strike call against the centre after the state government employees were told to not miss work due to the general strike.

Some buses ransacked by supporters of the strike in north Bengal. Haryana commuters bore the brunt as state-run buses remained off-roads. Transport services were affected in Karnal, Panipat, Kurukshetra, Sirsa, Fatehabad, Ambala, Yamunanagar and Kaithal districts.

Pushpa 2 The Rule advance booking tracking better than RRR, Jawan in the US; crosses .4 million with 10 days to go

Pushpa 2 The Rule has already crossed $1.4 million in advance bookings in North America even though the release is 10 days away.

Allu Arjun‘s Pushpa 2: The Rule is still nine days from its theatrical release but is already breaking box office records. The film is set for a grand release worldwide, and if its US pre-sales are any indication, it will likely get a bumper opening. The film is already tracking better than blockbusters like RRR and Jawan in the US.

Pushpa 2’s US tsunami

On Monday, trade tracker Venky Box Office shared the film’s advance booking collections for its US premiere. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the trade analyst tweeted, “#Pushpa2TheRule USA Premiere Advance Sales: $1,383,949 – 900 Locations – 3420 Shows – 50008 Tickets Sold.”

By Sunday evening, Pushpa 2 had sold over 50,000 tickets in the US, with the release 10 days away. The tweet added that North American advance booking collections had crossed $1.458 million (around ₹12 crore), ‘which is a record’.

Trade analysts say that the film is set to cross $1.5 million with nine days to go, which means it is outpacing SS Rajamouli’s RRR and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan, the two biggest Indian movies in the US in recent times. Both films grossed over $15 million each in North America and are among the top five highest-grossing Indian films in the continent. Pushpa 2 is matching the pace of Shah Rukh’s other 2023 blockbuster, Pathaan, and is just behind the all-time record holder for India in the US – Baahubali 2 (which earned $20 million in the territory).

All about Pushpa 2: The Rise

Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rise is the sequel to the director’s 2021 pan-India hit Pushpa: The Rise. It brings back Allu Arjun as the titular anti-hero, alongside Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Fassil. The film, touted to be one of the biggest Indian productions ever, is set to hit the screens on December 5.
