Sun Dec 08 09:34:12 UTC 2024: ## Pushpa 2: The Rule Breaks Box Office Records, Crosses ₹550 Crore Worldwide

**Hyderabad, India** – Allu Arjun-starrer *Pushpa: The Rule*, released on December 5th, 2024, has shattered box office records, grossing over ₹550 crore worldwide in just three days. The film, directed by Sukumar, also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil, and has received widespread critical acclaim for its story and performances.

Initial reports from Sacnilk indicate that *Pushpa 2* has already surpassed the lifetime collection of its predecessor. The film collected an estimated ₹383.7 crore in its opening weekend, showing a 22.06% increase on day three after a slight dip on day two. The India-wide gross stands at ₹115 crore, with a strong performance in Telugu (₹31.5 crore), Hindi (₹73.5 crore), Tamil (₹7.5 crore), Kannada (₹0.8 crore), and Malayalam (₹1.7 crore). The three-day breakdown for each language shows even more impressive numbers, with Telugu at ₹151.05 crore, Hindi at ₹200.7 crore, Tamil at ₹21 crore, Kannada at ₹2.45 crore, and Malayalam at ₹8.5 crore.

*Pushpa 2* has not only dominated the Indian box office but has also achieved phenomenal success internationally, easily surpassing its estimated ₹450 crore budget. The film’s momentum suggests it could reach ₹1000 crore by the end of its second weekend. With no major film releases before Christmas, *Pushpa 2* is poised to continue its strong run.

The film’s success has led to several records being broken. It has overtaken S.S. Rajamouli’s *RRR* to achieve the highest opening for any Indian film and outperformed Shah Rukh Khan’s *Jawan* in Hindi opening-day collections (₹70 crore vs. ₹66 crore). *Pushpa 2* is also the first Telugu film to cross ₹50 crore in two languages and is Allu Arjun’s highest-grossing film to date. Director Sukumar revealed during promotions that the film’s creation started with scenes and ideas, rather than a complete story.
