PM Modi to inaugurate Kushinagar airport today

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will unveil the Kushinagar International Airport on Wednesday at the site of Lord Buddha’s Parinirvana in Uttar Pradesh. This move aims to promote the tourism industry of the Buddhist Tour based on the three hallmarks of economic development-trade, tourism and technology. It is expected that today’s inauguration will be attended by ambassadors from at least 10-15 Buddhist practice and promotion countries. More than 100 Sri Lankan priests and 8 high priests led by Sri Lankan Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa’s son Namal will also attend.

The construction cost of Kushinagar Airport is estimated at ₹260 crore; it will serve the areas near Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and is seen as an important step in promoting investment and employment opportunities in the region. According to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the airport will facilitate domestic and foreign pilgrims to visit the Buddha’s “Mahaparinirvana” and strive to connect Buddhist pilgrimage sites around the world.

The project office stated that Modi will go to the Mahaparinirvana Nirvana Temple in Kushinagar to participate in the Abhidhamma Day activities, and then go to participate in public events and the subsequent airport inauguration ceremony. In the temple, the prime minister will worship the lying Buddha statue and plant saplings of Bodhi. Later, Prime Minister Modi will lay the foundation for several other development projects, including the Rajkiya Medical College, which cost more than ₹280 crore, and 12 other development projects worth more than ₹180 crore.

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.
