**Hyderabad, India** – Allu Arjun’s highly anticipated film, *Pushpa 2*, has exploded onto the Indian box office, setting a new record for the highest opening day collection. Released on December 5th, the film surpassed all previous opening day records, exceeding even the impressive debuts of *Pathaan*, *Jawan*, *K.G.F: Chapter 2*, and *RRR*.
Early estimates suggest *Pushpa 2* raked in over ₹170 crore (approximately $20.6 million USD) on its first day alone. This surpasses previous record holders like *RRR* (₹163 crore), *K.G.F: Chapter 2* (₹116 crore), and *Baahubali 2* (₹121 crore). The film also outperformed recent Bollywood blockbusters including *Pathaan*, *Jawan*, and *Animal*.
The film’s phenomenal success is attributed to the massive pre-release hype fueled by engaging posters, teasers, trailers, and songs which resulted in record-breaking advance bookings. Theaters reported full houses throughout the day, with enthusiastic audiences reacting with cheers and applause to the action-thriller.
Industry analysts predict *Pushpa 2* will continue its winning streak throughout the weekend, potentially crossing the ₹250 crore mark. This would solidify its position as a major box office juggernaut and set a new benchmark for Indian cinema.
