Pushpa Gets Distinction in Litmus Test: Critics Shell-Shocked

Icon Star Allu Arjun's Pushpa has cleared the Monday litmus test in distinction. Allu Arjun has all brownie points for shouldering the responsibility of drawing huge crowds to theatres. Of course, the festive mood arrived in film theatres everywhere even before the Christmas and the Sankranthi. 

Pushpa recorded 80% collections through noon shows and matinees on Monday while the first shows of all the major cities and many B centres registered housefulls. In Vizag alone the movie recorded 10 housefulls with its first shows. Further, there is a solid sustenance in single screens across India. 

Critics, who turned their thumbs down watching the film on the first day, are getting shell-shocked with the film amassing huge numbers in all the areas. Allu Arjun's perfection in playing the role and elegance in enormous energy that catapulted him reaching new heights as a superstar. 

However, Pushpa still needs a solid long run to reach the break even. For the time being, Pushpa has no other competition with its genre.
