Mon Dec 30 11:52:57 UTC 2024: ## Pushpa 2: The Rule Still Reigns Supreme at the Box Office, but Competition Looms
**HYDERABAD, INDIA –** Allu Arjun’s *Pushpa: The Rule* continues its box office dominance, raking in over ₹1157.35 crore net in India within 25 days of its release. The film saw a strong fourth weekend, collecting ₹16 crore net on Sunday alone, following a 42% increase on Saturday. While initial weekly collections were phenomenal (₹725.8 crore, ₹264.8 crore, and ₹129.5 crore respectively), the film’s daily collections dipped into single digits for the first time this past Saturday, raising questions about its long-term performance.
The upcoming Sankranthi festival in January poses a significant challenge. Several big-budget Telugu and Tamil films are slated for release, including Shankar’s *Game Changer* (January 10), *Daaku Maharaaj* (January 12), and *Sankranthiki Vastunnam* (January 14). The success of *Pushpa 2: The Rule* in the face of this upcoming competition remains to be seen, especially considering the recent underperformance of other releases like *Barroz* and *Baby John*. However, the film’s current strong performance suggests it is likely to maintain its position as a box office juggernaut for at least some time.
