**Mumbai, India** – Allu Arjun’s highly anticipated film, *Pushpa 2: The Rule*, has ignited the box office, shattering records with its phenomenal opening weekend. Released on December 5th, the film raked in a staggering ₹175 crore (approximately $21 million USD) on its opening day in India alone, and a worldwide total of ₹294 crore (approximately $35 million USD).
While Friday saw a slight dip in earnings compared to the Thursday premiere, the film maintained strong momentum, earning ₹90 crore (approximately $11 million USD) in India on its second day. This brings the two-day total to over ₹265 crore (approximately $32 million USD) domestically.

It also holds the record for the highest first-Friday collection for a Hindi film. High occupancy rates, particularly in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Mumbai, contributed to the film’s massive success.
