Mon Dec 30 10:12:27 UTC 2024: ## Pushpa 2: The Rule Crosses ₹1700 Crore Mark, Third Highest-Grossing Indian Film
**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna’s blockbuster actioner, *Pushpa 2: The Rule*, continues its box office dominance, surpassing ₹1,709.63 crore globally in just 25 days. This achievement places it as the third highest-grossing Indian film ever, trailing only *Dangal* and *Baahubali 2*.
The film’s phenomenal run saw a ₹282.91 crore opening day and a staggering ₹781.33 crore weekend collection worldwide. Its impressive first-week gross reached ₹1,032 crore, followed by ₹1,479.06 crore in its second week and ₹1,664.38 crore in its third. Even in its fourth week, the film demonstrated remarkable staying power, generating significant revenue despite facing competition from new releases.
Domestically, *Pushpa 2* has amassed a remarkable ₹1,157.35 crore, with its Hindi version contributing a substantial ₹753.9 crore. The Telugu version added ₹324.99 crore, while Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada versions contributed ₹56.75 crore, ₹14.11 crore, and ₹7.6 crore, respectively. The film’s sustained performance is highlighted by a 28% growth in daily domestic collections. Even with the release of competing films like *Mufasa: The Lion King*, *Vanvaas*, and *Baby John*, *Pushpa 2* remains unaffected, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh. While *Mufasa* performed relatively well, other new releases struggled to gain traction.
Directed by Sukumar, *Pushpa 2: The Rule* tells the story of Pushpa Raj, a sandalwood mafia figure navigating police crackdowns and rivalries. The film’s cast includes Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, and others. The film’s continued success at the box office solidifies its position as a major cinematic achievement.
