**Hyderabad, India –** Allu Arjun’s highly anticipated action drama, *Pushpa 2: The Rule*, has set the box office ablaze, smashing records in its opening weekend. The sequel to the blockbuster *Pushpa: The Rise*, which also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil, raked in an astounding ₹265 crore (approximately $32 million USD) net in India alone within its first two days of release. Globally, the film has already crossed the ₹400 crore (approximately $48 million USD) mark.
