Pushpa 2: The Rule is going great guns at the box office, collecting a whopping Rs. 1799 crore in just 28 days. The Allu Arjun starrer has shattered records and set new benchmarks in Indian cinema, despite being marred by controversies. Industry experts predict that the movie will soon cross the Rs. 2000 crore milestone, a feat that seems well within its reach.

The makers of the film, Mythri Movie Makers, tweeted out the stunning numbers, noting that Pushpa 2 is ruling the  Indian box office with its record breaking run. With such a resounding response at the box office from all around the country, the collections refuse to slow down.

The success of Pushpa 2 is proof of the enormous popularity of the franchise, established with the first part, Pushpa: The Rise. It was directed by Sukumar, and the power tussles were set against the backdrop of red sandalwood smuggling. Released during the pandemic, Pushpa: The Rise did remarkably well, raking in Rs. 326.6 crore worldwide. The film also made Allu Arjun bag his first National Award for Best Actor. So, this was one film that did well to cement the position of a leading star in Indian cinema.

Expectations are quite high with Pushpa 2 as well since the first part broke so many records and made a name in the cinematic world. And from the box office performances that are being reported, it’s quite clear that the film is on the right track to do that.

However, the daily collection on Day 29 saw a major drop of 61.51% and had earned Rs. 5.1 crore net, as reported by Sacnilk. The film had witnessed a massive 72% hike on Day 28, when it had earned Rs. 13.25 crore. Here’s the division of the collection of the film on Day 29 Rs. 3.75 crore in Hindi, Rs. 1.18 crore in Telugu, Rs. 0.15 crore in Tamil, and Rs. 0.01 crore in Kannada and Malayalam.

Still Pushpa 2 has managed a strong show from the box offices despite facing healthy competition from several major releases this week, as Mufasa, Max, Marco, Vanvaas and Baby John vied for dominance. The movie’s pan India approach through Tollywood also stood the test right, with collections in India running at Rs. 1,189.85 crore net. With continued dominance at box offices, this is one place where Pushpa 2: The Rule could be seen sitting pretty.
