The much talked about and keenly anticipated Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2: The Rule released a while back. After the stunning success of Pushpa: The Rise, the sequel of the film which came with immense hype and anticipation has been well received by the masses, living up to expectations. After a staggeringly successful advance booking rate, the opening day business of Pushpa 2 witnessed record breaking footfalls, now after nearly two weeks at the box office, since its release on December 5, 2024, Pushpa 2 has set a record. In fact, the Aalu Arjun starrer has emerged as the first ever film to cross the Rs. 200 cr. nett. mark within the Mumbai circuit alone.
Collecting over Rs. 200 cr. nett in Mumbai alone, Pushpa 2: The Rule has managed to surpass previous big-ticket releases like Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion that had collected Rs. 191.58 cr, the recently released Shraddha Kapoor – Rajkummar Rao starrer Stree 2 that collected Rs. 189.87 cr, and even the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan that had collected Rs. 166.52 cr within the Mumbai circuit. If that wasn’t enough, the business of Pushpa 2 in Mumbai has also surpassed other releases like Gadar 2 (Rs. 147.33 cr), Jawan (Rs. 141.09 cr), Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior (Rs. 136.94 cr) and KGF – Chapter 2 (Rs. 134.61 cr).
The incredible success of Pushpa 2: The Rule in the Mumbai circuit is a testament to its widespread appeal across audiences. The film’s gripping narrative, larger-than-life action sequences, and Allu Arjun’s powerhouse performance have resonated not just in its traditional strongholds in the South but also in key markets across North India. Currently the success of the film is being attributed to a combination of massive pre-release buzz, the film’s pan-India appeal and of course Allu Arjun’s stardom.
With Pushpa 2 dominating the box office and continuing to draw crowds even after two weeks of release, it shows no signs of slowing down. Analysts predict it could set new benchmarks in other circuits and emerge as one of the highest-grossing films in Indian cinema history.
As the numbers roll in, Pushpa 2: The Rule solidifies Allu Arjun’s place in the pantheon of megastars while redefining box office success in India.
