Fri Dec 20 07:43:22 UTC 2024: ## Pushpa 2 Remains Box Office King, Surpasses Stree 2’s Hindi Earnings

**Hyderabad, India** – Allu Arjun’s *Pushpa: The Rule* continues its phenomenal box office run, exceeding expectations even two weeks after its release. The film raked in an additional ₹17.75 crore (approximately $2.1 million USD) on its 15th day, bringing its India-wide net total to ₹990.7 crore (approximately $118 million USD), according to industry tracker Sacnilk.

Remarkably, *Pushpa 2*’s Hindi-language version has significantly outperformed its Telugu counterpart, accumulating ₹621.6 crore (approximately $74 million USD) – surpassing the ₹598 crore (approximately $71 million USD) earned by *Stree 2*, the year’s previous top Hindi film. The film’s overall India gross, according to producers Mythri Movie Makers, has already reached ₹1508 crore (approximately $180 million USD).

The film’s success has positioned it as the third-highest-grossing Indian film of all time, trailing only *Dangal* and *Baahubali 2*. While facing potential competition from Varun Dhawan’s *Baby John*, *Pushpa 2* is predicted to eventually surpass *Baahubali 2*’s lifetime collection.

Despite the film’s triumph, its premiere was marred by tragedy. A stampede at a Hyderabad theatre resulted in one woman’s death and critical injuries to her nine-year-old son. Allu Arjun, along with his security team and theatre owners, have been named in a police complaint related to the incident. Allu Arjun was briefly arrested in connection with the incident.

*Pushpa 2*’s continued success is expected to be bolstered by the upcoming holiday season. The film’s strong performance across various languages, particularly in Hindi, highlights its widespread appeal.
