ALLU ARJUN’S “Pushpa 2: The Rule” has hit the milestone of ₹10 billion (£92.42m) at the global box office in just six days, making it the fastest Indian film to register the feat.
The Sukumar-directed movie, which is a sequel to 2021’s Telugu blockbuster “Pushpa: The Rise”, released on December 5 with dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam.
Production banner Mythri Movie Makers, which has bankrolled the project, shared the movie’s latest box office figures on social media and said the film has earned ₹10.02 billion gross.
In the coveted ₹10 billion club, “Pushpa 2” joins movies like Aamir Khan’s “Dangal”, Prabhas’ “Baahubali 2” and “Kalki 2898 AD”, SS Rajamouli’s “RRR” and Shah Rukh Khan’s “Pathaan” and “Jawan”.
The Hindi version of “Pushpa 2”, whose trailer was launched by Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna in Patna last month, has so far collected ₹3.75 billion in net box office earnings, Mythri Movie Makers said in a separate post.
“Another sensational day for #Pushpa2TheRule at the box office with a Nett of 36 CRORES in Hindi on Tuesday. Fastest to hit 375 CRORES NETT mark in Hindi in just 6 days. RULING IN CINEMAS,” the studio said.
In the sequel, Arjun returns as labourer-turned-sandalwood smuggler Pushpa Raj, alongside Mandanna as Srivalli and Fahadh Faasil as SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat.
The original film, also directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, was a commercial success and established a strong fan base beyond the traditional Telugu base.
“Pushpa 2: The Rule” also features Jagapathi Babu, Dhananjaya, Rao Ramesh, Sunil and Anasuya Bharadwaj.
