Pushpa: The Rule, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2021 blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise, is proving to be an unstoppable force at the box office. Continuing its meteoric rise, the film, starring the charismatic Allu Arjun, has smashed numerous records and shows no signs of slowing down. Just four days into its theatrical run, early estimates suggest that Pushpa 2 has already raked in an astounding ₹621 crore worldwide, a testament to its widespread appeal and the fervent anticipation surrounding its release.
The film’s incredible success is not just a reflection of Allu Arjun’s star power; it’s a testament to the impactful direction of Sukumar and the compelling storyline which has captivated audiences across India and beyond. The supporting cast, including Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, Jagapathi Babu, Dhananjaya, Rao Ramesh, Sunil, and Anasuya Bharadwaj, each contributes significantly to the film’s overall success, enhancing the rich tapestry of characters within the narrative.
The domestic box office numbers are equally impressive. On its opening day, December 5th, Pushpa 2 collected a phenomenal ₹164.25 crore net in India. While Day 2 saw a slight dip (a 42.89 percent decrease to ₹93.8 crore net), the film swiftly regained its momentum, adding ₹119.25 crore on Saturday and an estimated ₹113.76 crore on Sunday. This brings the four-day net total in India to a staggering ₹501.71 crore. These numbers are not simply impressive; they are historic.
Industry analysts are echoing this sentiment. Taran Adarsh, a prominent film trade analyst, described the film’s performance on X (formerly Twitter) as a “TSUNAMI – HURRICANE – TYPHOON… ‘PUSHPA 2’ REWRITES HISTORY *ONCE AGAIN*.” He highlighted the film’s complete domination of the box office, surpassing all existing records. Sumit Kadel, another respected film business analyst, emphasized the film’s extraordinary Hindi-language performance, declaring on X that “Pushpa2 (Hindi) has MASSACRED the Box Office like RAPPA RAPPA on Saturday!” This highlights the film’s broad appeal, transcending regional boundaries and connecting with a diverse pan-Indian audience.
Released in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam, Pushpa 2’s success is a clear indicator of its potential to surpass the ₹1000 crore mark in the coming days. The film’s continued dominance of the box office suggests that this milestone is not only achievable but highly probable. This phenomenal performance solidifies Pushpa 2’s place as a landmark achievement in Indian cinema, setting a new standard for box office success and leaving an indelible mark on the industry.
