**Mumbai, December 6:** Allu Arjun’s *Pushpa: The Rule* has stormed the Indian box office, shattering previous opening day records and leaving other big-budget films in its wake. According to Saknilk, the film raked in a staggering ₹175.1 crore (approximately $21 million USD) on its first day of release in India, including paid previews.

This figure surpasses the previous record held by Shah Rukh Khan’s *Jawan*, and also eclipses the opening day collections of *Baahubali 2* and *RRR*. The film’s impressive debut includes ₹10.1 crore from paid previews on December 4th, with the remaining ₹165 crore earned on December 5th.

Telugu audiences contributed significantly to *Pushpa 2*’s success, generating ₹95.1 crore (including previews). The Hindi version alone amassed ₹67 crore, making it the biggest Hindi opener ever, surpassing *Jawan*’s ₹65.5 crore opening. The film also performed exceptionally well in other South Indian languages, collecting ₹7 crore in Tamil, ₹1 crore in Kannada, and ₹5 crore in Malayalam.

These figures, reported by Saknilk as of 7:30 AM on December 6th, solidify *Pushpa 2*’s position as a box office phenomenon. The film’s ₹175 crore India net collection dwarfs the opening day numbers of *RRR* (₹133 crore), *Baahubali 2* (₹121 crore), and *K.G.F: Chapter 2* (₹116 crore). While these are impressive India net figures, anticipation is building for the worldwide collection numbers.

The film’s monumental success has left filmmakers reeling, as their fears of *Pushpa 2* breaking records have become reality. The film’s massive opening demonstrates the phenomenal star power of Allu Arjun and the enduring appeal of the *Pushpa* franchise.
