Pushpa 2’s Phenomenal Day 1 Box Office: Allu Arjun Stuns Again
The much-anticipated sequel Pushpa: The Rule has finally roared onto the big screen, solidifying its position as one of the most eagerly awaited cinematic events of the year. Early reports suggest that the Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer could amass a staggering ₹250-₹300 crore gross globally on its opening day, cementing its status as a blockbuster right from the start.
A Global Sensation in the Making
The Telugu action-drama directed by Sukumar premiered on Wednesday night with exclusive shows in select cities. Fans flocked to theaters early Thursday morning, some as early as 4:30 am after special screenings received the Telangana government’s nod. Enthusiastic audiences paid up to ₹800 per ticket for these coveted first-show seats. By 10 am Thursday, the film had already earned ₹28.94 crore across all languages, according to Sacnilk.
Bookings for Pushpa 2 were extraordinary, with nearly 32 lakh tickets sold for 32,000 screenings nationwide. BookMyShow alone accounted for over 3 million ticket sales, reporting overwhelming demand, particularly in Hyderabad, where most shows were sold out. In Delhi-NCR, shows for Thursday evening and night saw fast-filling statuses despite the weekday release, reflecting the film’s unmatched popularity.
Massive Reach and Record-Breaking Expectations
Pushpa: The Rule is reportedly releasing across more than 12,000 screens worldwide, a scale that underscores its massive global appeal. Trade analysts are confident the sequel will surpass expectations, following the critical and commercial success of its predecessor, Pushpa: The Rise.
The 2021 prequel not only won audiences’ hearts but also brought Allu Arjun his first National Award. Featuring Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil in pivotal roles, the sequel carries the legacy forward with a storyline praised for its high-octane action and emotionally charged second half.
An Expensive Gamble with High Returns
Made on an estimated budget of ₹400 crore, Pushpa: The Rule is a three-hour, twenty-minute cinematic spectacle. Released in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam, the film has garnered critical acclaim for its grand storytelling, intense drama, and exceptional performances.
With nearly every major theater chain and online booking platform struggling to keep up with the demand, trade experts predict the film’s total box office collections will set new benchmarks for Indian cinema.
Fan Frenzy and Online Glitches
The unparalleled excitement surrounding Pushpa 2 even led to technical glitches on platforms like BookMyShow, with users reporting crashes during the ticket-booking process. However, tickets for daytime shows were still available, ensuring fans from all walks of life could witness this cinematic extravaganza.
Final Thoughts
Pushpa: The Rule is more than just a sequel; it’s a cultural phenomenon. With stellar performances, riveting storytelling, and a production scale that dwarfs most contemporaries, the film is poised to leave an indelible mark on global cinema. As fans eagerly queue up to witness Allu Arjun’s magic unfold, day-one numbers serve as a testament to the unparalleled allure of the Pushpa franchise.
