The Indian film industry is still dominated by Pushpa 2: The Rule, the eagerly awaited follow-up to the 2021 smash hit Pushpa.
This action-packed Tollywood movie, which was directed by Sukumar and starred Rashmika Mandanna and Allu Arjun, has broken box office records and is now a major contender for the title of highest-grossing movie of 2024.
With a Sunday total of ₹14.53 crore, Pushpa 2 showed no signs of slowing down as of Day 25.
Early estimates from Sacnilk indicate that this spike has brought the film’s total domestic earnings to an astonishing ₹1155.88 crore net.
On Saturday, the movie did well as well, earning ₹12.5 crore net from domestic theatres.
Pushpa 2 is the first Hindi film to earn over ₹100 crore in its third week of release, and its continued popularity has driven its total earnings in India to ₹750 crore net. The movie has had a big impact abroad as well; as of Day 24, it had generated ₹1618 crore worldwide.
Included in this sum is ₹257.2 crore from foreign markets. The film’s production company, Mythri Movie Makers, claimed that Pushpa 2 became the fastest Indian film to reach ₹1719.5 crore in just 22 days after surpassing ₹1700 crore globally on Day 22.
The popularity of the film is not limited to a single language or area. The Telugu version alone made ₹2.11 crore on December 28.
The Hindi version made an incredible ₹10 crore. With ₹35 lakh and ₹1 lakh, respectively, smaller Tamil and Kannada markets also helped the movie’s total revenue.
These performances further demonstrate Pushpa 2’s capacity to enthral a wide range of Indian audiences, securing its status as one of the most popular films of the year.
Pushpa 2 is now in fierce rivalry with other big Indian films like Baahubali 2 and Dangal thanks to its incredible worldwide popularity.
Dangal created history with nearly ₹2000 crore, while Baahubali 2, which grossed ₹1788 crore globally, is currently the second highest-grossing Indian film.
Pushpa 2 is poised to become one of the highest-grossing films ever thanks to its unrelenting box office success, and it may eventually surpass Dangal’s record.
Pushpa 2 is poised to redefine the success of Indian film in 2024 with its sustained supremacy at the box office.
Fans and industry insiders alike are excited to see how much higher the movie will soar in the upcoming weeks as it continues to set records.
A number of things contributed to the movie’s success, including the lead actors’ outstanding performances,
Allu Arjun’s impactful portrayal of Pushpa, and Sukumar’s direction, which successfully blends passion and action in a way that appeals to viewers everywhere.
The compelling plot of the movie is also greatly aided by the supporting cast, which includes Jagapathi Babu, Fahadh Faasil, and others.
Increase in Box Office Revenue and Regional Disparities
Despite approaching its fourth week, Pushpa 2 has not slowed down. According to Sacnilk projections, the movie recovered from a minor setback on Friday with an astounding 42.86% rise, collecting ₹12.5 crore in a single day.
With a current domestic total of ₹1,346 crore, the movie is among the highest-grossing productions in Indian cinema.
The regional performance of Pushpa 2 is broken down as follows:
Version in Hindi: ₹741.15 crore
Version in Telugu: ₹322.23 crore
Version in Tamil: ₹56.3 crore
Versions in Kannada and Malayalam: Making a small contribution, adding to the total worldwide.
With domestic earnings of about ₹750 crore, the Hindi version of Pushpa 2 has done remarkably well.
This has been a major factor in the movie’s worldwide popularity; in just three weeks, its total revenue surpassed ₹1,500 crore.
Conflict with OTT Speculation and Baby John
As Pushpa 2 keeps setting new records, its rival, Baby John, which starred Varun Dhawan, has failed to achieve the same degree of popularity. The first four days of Baby John’s December 25 release brought in ₹22.77 crore, a small portion of Pushpa 2’s total revenue in a single day.
This striking contrast draws attention to Allu Arjun’s Pushpa Raj’s unparalleled popularity, which continues to make him a box office sensation.
Fans are curious as to whether these scenes will return to theatres or be accessible on over-the-top services like Netflix or Amazon Prime, given the rumours that more content may be added to Pushpa 2.
Any fresh additions are certain to create a great deal of excitement because of the enormous amount of expectation surrounding the movie.
Conclusion: An Unprecedented Worldwide Powerhouse
Along with Dangal and Baahubali 2, Pushpa 2 is poised to rank among the highest-grossing films in Indian cinema.
The film’s enormous box office success is solidifying Allu Arjun’s standing as one of the nation’s top stars. Pushpa 2’s journey is far from ended, whether it is due to its enormous domestic collections or its worldwide impact.
Fans are anxious to learn more about the alleged expanded sequences, and the movie’s continued success will probably help it maintain its hegemony in theatres and online over the next few weeks.
Allu Arjun’s captivating performance as Pushpa Raj has surely had a lasting impact on the Indian cinema industry, even as Pushpa 2 continues to create waves.
