**HYDERABAD, INDIA** – Allu Arjun’s *Pushpa 2: The Rule* continues its box office dominance, raking in over ₹1128 crore net in India within 23 days of its release, according to Sacnilk. The film saw a strong fourth Friday, collecting approximately ₹8.75 crore, bringing its 23-day total to ₹1128.85 crore. Despite competition from new releases and a noticeable dip in collections compared to its opening day’s ₹164.25 crore, the film maintains strong performance.

However, the film’s success is overshadowed by ongoing legal issues for its star. Arjun appeared via video conference at Nampally Court on Friday for a hearing related to a stampede incident during the film’s premiere. A woman died and her son was critically injured in the incident on December 4th, leading to Arjun’s arrest, along with theatre management and security personnel. While initially remanded to judicial custody, Arjun was granted interim bail and released on December 14th. The court adjourned the hearing until December 30th.
