“Pushpa 2: The Rule,” the highly anticipated sequel to the 2021 blockbuster “Pushpa: The Rise,” made an unprecedented entry into the box office scene, setting a new benchmark as the biggest Indian opener ever.
Directed by Sukumar and featuring Allu Arjun in the lead role, the film’s release on Day 1 was nothing short of a spectacle, creating waves across the country. Despite being a Thursday release, a non-holiday working day, “Pushpa 2” shattered records, smashing all expectations.
A Phenomenal Day 2 Performance
On Day 2, the momentum only increased. “Pushpa 2” continued its unstoppable run, with a record-breaking ₹59 crore on Friday. The film’s remarkable ability to perform even on a working day, just after a historic opening, is indicative of its mass appeal and the strong word-of-mouth it has garnered.
The phrase “PUSHPA JHUKEGA NAHI – BOXOFFICE RUKEGA NAHI” perfectly encapsulates the film’s current trajectory as it continues to rise without showing any signs of slowing down.
Comparison with Other Big Releases
Coincidentally, “Animal,” which also released in early December 2023, had crossed the ₹50 crore mark on its first two days. However, “Pushpa 2” is setting itself apart, not only surpassing that figure but doing so with an even stronger grip on the box office. This contrast highlights the massive popularity and dominance “Pushpa 2” has achieved in the competitive landscape of Indian cinema.
The Road Ahead: A Record-Breaking Extended Weekend
With exceptional collections in major centres and mass circuits, the box office trajectory for “Pushpa 2” looks poised for a colossal extended weekend. If current trends are anything to go by, the film is expected to hit the ₹250 crore mark by the end of Sunday.
The extended weekend, boosted by strong fan support and an action-packed storyline, promises to elevate “Pushpa 2” into the record books, cementing its place in Indian film history.
Box Office Numbers: A Historic Start
By the end of Day 2, “Pushpa 2” had amassed a staggering ₹131 crore in total, with ₹72 crore from Day 1 and ₹59 crore from Day 2. This marks a phenomenal start for the film and reinforces its status as a cinematic force to be reckoned with. The numbers are set to grow even further as audiences flock to theatres over the weekend.
Conclusion: Pushpa 2’s Unstoppable Success
“Pushpa 2” keeps breaking records and exceeding expectations. Its success highlights not just Allu Arjun‘s popularity, but also the film’s broad appeal to all audiences. As the weekend starts, it’s set to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.
