Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 has made history at the Indian box office by joining Baahubali 2: The Conclusion in achieving a 1000 crore net collection.
While SS Rajamouli’s film was a groundbreaking phenomenon years ago, we now witness similar excitement again, particularly in the mass market segments.
On day 15, the film marked its entry into the 1000-crore club, concluding the second week on a remarkable note. The journey has been extraordinary, and the film has met all the pre-release expectations. It began with an astounding opening of 179.25 crores and continued with a staggering total of 736.25 crores during its 8-day extended opening week.
The second weekend kicked off with tremendous energy, and the strong performance was maintained throughout the following week. As of day 15, which wraps up the second week, early estimates indicate that Pushpa 2 has pulled in approximately 18-20 crores.
As it has been the case, evening and night shows, particularly for the Hindi-dubbed version, saw increased attendance, leading to another impressive day.
With these projections, the film has entered the 1000 crore club, with collections estimated between 1006.75 and 1008.75 crore net across all languages. This marks a significant milestone for Indian cinema, as it has taken seven years since Baahubali 2 achieved this landmark in 2017, and all eyes were on the next film to reach this height.
At last, the moment has arrived, allowing Allu Arjun to recreate history with the explosive success of Pushpa 2. Moving forward, the film is expected to maintain its momentum.
In just a few days, it is likely to surpass Baahubali 2’s lifetime total of 1031 crore net, making it the highest-grossing Indian film in history.
It will be fascinating to see how long this incredible journey of Pushpa continues.
Breakdown of Pushpa 2 collections:
– Week 1 (8-day): 736.25 crores
– Week 2: 270.50-272.50 crores
– Total: 1006.75-1008.75 crores
