Karan Arjun vs. Pushpa Re-Release: Box Office Showdown

The re-release of *Karan Arjun* and *Pushpa* on November 22, 2024, saw disappointing box office results. *Karan Arjun* earned ₹1 crore in its first week, outperforming *Pushpa*, which collected ₹70 lakh—a 57% gap. Despite this, both films were overshadowed by Shah Rukh Khan’s *Kal Ho Naa Ho*, re-released earlier on November 15, which grossed ₹3.70 crore in 10 days. The strong performance of *Kal Ho Naa Ho* continues to dominate the re-release market.

The re-release trend continues to sweep the film industry, with two iconic films, *Karan Arjun* and *Pushpa*, hitting theaters again on November 22, 2024. Despite their original success, both films underperformed during their re-releases.

Karan Arjun, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, outperformed *Pushpa*, featuring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, at the box office. Over the first week, *Karan Arjun* earned ₹1 crore, compared to *Pushpa*’s ₹70 lakh—a 57% lead. Daily collections for *Karan Arjun* were ₹30 lakh (Day 1), ₹40 lakh (Day 2), and ₹40 lakh (Day 3). In contrast, *Pushpa* earned ₹20 lakh on Day 1 and ₹25 lakh on both Day 2 and Day 3.

However, the competition between re-releases isn’t limited to these two films. Shah Rukh Khan’s *Kal Ho Naa Ho*, re-released on November 15, 2024, has proven more successful. The film grossed ₹2.40 crore in its first week and has reached ₹3.70 crore after 10 days. Its strong performance continues to overshadow *Karan Arjun* and other re-released titles.
