Game Changer, which stars Kiara Advani, S. J. Suryah, and others, has faced tough competition from other recent releases like Akshay Kumar¡¯s Sky Force and Kangana Ranaut¡¯s Emergency. This has hurt its box office earnings, and after a good start, it¡¯s been struggling to keep up. Meanwhile, Pushpa 2 continues to do well and is on track to become the third-highest-grossing Indian film ever, just behind Baahubali 2 and Dangal.
Let¡¯s now look at the worldwide collection of these big 4 Telugu releases. Pushpa 2 stands at No. 1 with Rs 1738.45 crore followed by Sankranthiki Vasthunam with Rs 205 crore total. The third on the list is Game Changer with Rs 184.17 crore so far and the last - Daaku Maharaaj has grossed Rs 118.5 crore globally.
