Sharing a post on their social media handle, Sukumar Writings wrote,
Pushpa delivered the highest opening day in Indian cinema, collecting an unprecedented ₹294 crore worldwide, instantly setting a new benchmark. It went on to become the fastest Indian film to cross ₹500 crore and ₹1,000 crore, rewriting speed records across markets. In the Hindi belt, Pushpa opened to a massive ₹72 crore on day one, establishing a new opening-day record, and went on to post an all-time Hindi lifetime collection of ₹830 crore. Beyond the numbers, Pushpa emerged as a cultural phenomenon, cementing its legacy in Indian cinema history.
Backing projects driven by strong writing and new talent, the banner has delivered films like Kumari 21F, Uppena, Virupaksha, and 18 Pages, each reflecting Sukumar’s belief in meaningful, idea-led cinema.
