Hyderabad: Allu Arjun’s blockbuster sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule, saw an impressive 70% surge in its worldwide box office collection on its second Saturday, riding on the wave of renewed interest following the actor’s recent arrest and release. The film’s domestic earnings alone jumped by 74%, pushing it closer to the ₹1,200 crore milestone.
Day 10 Worldwide Box Office Performance
As per Sacnilk, the action entertainer has amassed a whopping ₹1,196 crore globally as of Saturday night, completing 10 days in theatres. The film earned ₹86 crore on Saturday, a sharp rise from ₹51 crore on Friday, marking a significant recovery.
This boost has propelled Pushpa 2 past Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan in box office collections and within striking distance of Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2, which stands at ₹1,208 crore. The movie is expected to surpass KGF 2 on Sunday and then aim for SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which boasts a collection of ₹1,309 crore.
Domestic and Overseas Numbers
The film’s domestic net earnings reached ₹826 crore, translating to ₹986 crore gross. Overseas, Pushpa 2 collected ₹210 crore, with its Saturday overseas earnings nearing $2 million, reviving its performance in international markets.
Challenging the Top Indian Films
With its sustained momentum, Pushpa 2 is now eyeing the top two spots in Indian cinema’s highest-grossing films—Dangal and Baahubali 2.
The Legacy of Pushpa
Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule continues the story of Pushpa Raj, played by Allu Arjun, with Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil reprising their roles. The sequel builds on the massive success of Pushpa: The Rise, which transformed Allu Arjun into a pan-India star with ₹340 crore worldwide earnings in 2021.
With its remarkable comeback, Pushpa 2 is proving to be not just a box office juggernaut but also a testament to Allu Arjun’s pan-India appeal.
