Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule has created history by grossing ₹1,292 crore at the worldwide box office within just 10 days of its release, the makers announced yesterday. Directed by Sukumar, the sequel to 2021’s blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise debuted globally on December 5 in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam.
The production banner, Mythri Movie Makers, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the monumental milestone along with a celebratory poster. The caption read, “#Pushpa2TheRule crosses Massive 1292 CRORES GROSS in 10 days. The HIGHEST GROSSER OF INDIAN CINEMA IN 2024.”
The film, which stars Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil alongside Allu Arjun, has set a new benchmark for Indian cinema in 2024. Its Hindi-dubbed version alone has raked in ₹507.50 crore, making it the fastest Hindi film to surpass the ₹500 crore mark, according to the makers.
With its high-octane action, gripping storyline, and stellar performances, Pushpa 2 has captivated audiences across India and beyond. The film’s global success further solidifies Allu Arjun’s status as a pan-Indian star.
Despite the film’s resounding success, the lead actor Allu Arjun found himself embroiled in a legal controversy. On Saturday morning, Arjun was arrested in Hyderabad in connection with the death of a woman during a stampede at the film’s premiere event.
The actor spent a night in jail before being produced in a local court, which initially remanded him to 14 days of judicial custody. However, his legal team swiftly moved the Telangana High Court and secured interim bail.
The frenzy surrounding Pushpa 2 underscores its massive popularity. Mythri Movie Makers hailed the film as the “highest grosser of Indian cinema in 2024,” sharing updates that have amplified the excitement among fans.
The combination of Sukumar’s direction, Devi Sri Prasad’s music, and the performances of its stellar cast has elevated Pushpa 2 to a global sensation.
As the film continues to soar at the box office, all eyes remain on its final collection numbers, while the legal developments involving its star are closely monitored.
