Superstar Allu Arjun’s much-awaited film Pushpa 2: The Rule hit theatres on 5 December, and within hours of its release, the movie has taken the box office by storm. Not just in India but across the globe, the film is rewriting records. With its jaw-dropping collections on Day 1, Pushpa 2 has carved its name in history.

Smashes Records Worldwide

Trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan revealed on the X platform (formerly Twitter) that Pushpa 2 has surpassed the record set by SS Rajamouli’s RRR. The movie amassed an unprecedented ₹282.91 crore worldwide on its opening day, setting a benchmark in Indian cinema.

Beats Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan in Hindi Belt

In India, Pushpa 2 has taken the domestic box office by storm, raking in impressive figures in multiple languages:

Telugu: ₹95.1 crore

Hindi: ₹67 crore

Tamil: ₹7 crore

Malayalam: ₹5 crore

Kannada: ₹1 crore

With ₹67 crore in Hindi alone, Pushpa 2 has shattered the opening day record previously held by Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan (₹65.5 crore in Hindi).

A New Topper in Indian Cinema

Pushpa 2: The Rule has claimed the title of India’s biggest opener, collecting ₹175 crore on Day 1. It dethroned SS Rajamouli’s RRR (₹133 crore) and surpassed other blockbusters like Baahubali 2 (₹121 crore), KGF 2 (₹116 crore), and Kalki 2898 AD (₹114 crore).

Eyeing ₹1000 Crore in the First Weekend?

With its release on a Thursday, Pushpa 2 enjoys a rare four-day opening weekend. If this pace continues, the film is well on track to achieve a ₹1000 crore weekend collection, something no Indian film has ever accomplished.

Can It Beat Dangal?

The all-time highest-grossing Indian film, Dangal, earned ₹2500 crore globally, followed by Baahubali 2 at ₹1788 crore. With such a stellar start, Pushpa 2 could very well challenge these records in the coming days.

Star Cast and Creative Force Behind the Magic

Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule boasts a stellar cast, including Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, Rao Ramesh, Sunil, Ajay Ghosh, and Dhananjay. The film is a sequel to the 2021 blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise, which also garnered massive acclaim and box office success.

All eyes are now on Pushpa 2 to see how far it will soar in the days to come.
