Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule continues to dominate the global box office, smashing records and solidifying its place as one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever. The movie has now amassed an incredible ₹1106 crore worldwide in just nine days, proving its mettle against fierce box office competition. Despite the fictional controversies surrounding Pushpa’s arrest, detention, and bail in the storyline, the film’s unstoppable momentum remains unaffected.
Box Office Performance: A Breakdown
The film has made a remarkable impact domestically, earning ₹36.40 crore net on its ninth day (Friday), as reported by trade analysts. This takes its total domestic net earnings to an astonishing ₹762 crore, with a gross of ₹911 crore. Pushpa 2’s unwavering hold in theatres across India underscores the audience’s overwhelming reception, with no significant dip in collections since its release.
On the international front, Pushpa 2 has grossed ₹195 crore so far. While its overseas collections have slowed down after the fifth day, with daily earnings dropping below $1 million, the film’s overall global appeal remains strong, making it a powerhouse at the worldwide box office.
Aiming for New Heights
Having crossed ₹1100 crore, Pushpa 2 is now poised to surpass Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan (₹1148 crore) and Yash’s KGF Chapter 2 (₹1208 crore) in the coming days. With a promising second weekend and little competition from new releases, trade experts predict that Pushpa 2 is well on its way to securing its place among the top three highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
The Road Ahead: Dangal and Baahubali 2 in Sight?
While the film’s domestic performance remains robust, its chances of challenging the reigning box office titans—Dangal (₹2024 crore) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (₹1810 crore)—may depend on sustaining its pace in international markets. The slowing overseas numbers could hinder its journey to surpass these milestones, but the film’s stronghold in India continues to drive its overall success.
The Pushpa Phenomenon
Directed by Sukumar and featuring Allu Arjun in his career-defining role, Pushpa 2: The Rule has captivated audiences with its gripping storyline, high-octane action, and memorable music. The film’s narrative and Arjun’s electrifying performance have turned Pushpa into a cultural phenomenon, drawing massive crowds to theatres even in its second week.
