Pushpa 2
: The Rule' had an exceptional opening week, raking in Rs 725.8 crore. The second week added another Rs 204.05 crore to its total, with a notable spike in collections over the second weekend. After earning Rs 37.45 crore on Friday, the film saw a significant boost on Saturday and Sunday, collecting Rs 63.3 crore and Rs 75 crore, respectively.
The film’s blockbuster success has not been without controversy. Lead actor Allu Arjun was arrested last Friday following the tragic death of a fan in a stampede at the film’s premiere. Reports suggest that the actor’s arrest led to a staggering 70% increase in worldwide collections, fueling speculation that the incident was orchestrated as a publicity stunt.
Despite the controversies and fluctuating daily earnings, Pushpa 2 continues to dominate the box office, with trade analysts predicting it may soon cross the Rs 1,000 crore milestone at the domestic box office. The film has solidified Allu Arjun’s position as one of India’s most bankable stars while highlighting the growing dominance of South Indian cinema in the global market.
As the film continues its second week, all eyes are on its ability to sustain momentum and break further records to become the highest earning Indian film of all time at the global box office.
