**Hyderabad, India** – Sukumar’s highly anticipated sequel, *Pushpa 2: The Rule*, starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil, has stormed the box office, achieving a phenomenal worldwide gross of ₹449 crore (approximately $54 million USD) in just two days. While independent trackers like Sacnilk.com report a slightly lower figure of ₹421.30 crore, the film’s producers have confirmed the higher number.
This staggering opening surpasses the previous record held by *RRR*, boasting the highest opening day collection for any Indian film at ₹294 crore (approximately $35 million USD). The film also achieved the biggest opening day for both a Hindi film and a Telugu film dubbed in Hindi.
The film’s strong performance is not limited to its opening day. According to Sacnilk.com, *Pushpa 2* collected ₹10.65 crore from paid premieres in India, followed by ₹164.25 crore on its opening day and ₹93.8 crore on its first Friday. The India net collection stands at ₹268.7 crore, with a gross of ₹321.3 crore. Overseas collections add another ₹100 crore to the total.
Industry experts are overwhelmingly positive about the film’s future performance. Gautam Dutta, CEO of PVR INOX, predicts weekend footfall in the range of 50-60 lakh and anticipates the film’s total gross to reach ₹800-1000 crore. Amit Sharma, MD of Miraj Entertainment Ltd, is confident that the Hindi dubbed version alone will generate ₹300 crore over the weekend.
*Pushpa 2: The Rule*, a continuation of the 2021 hit *Pushpa: The Rise*, continues the story of Pushpa Raj, a red sanders smuggler, his wife Srivalli, and his ongoing conflict with police officer Bhanwar Singh Shekawat. The film’s ending hints at a potential third installment, *Pushpa 3: The Rampage*. The film’s exceptional success solidifies its position as a major cinematic event and sets the stage for what could be an unprecedented box office run.
