These figures bring the anticipated total in India to a staggering Rs 200 crore on day one. Adding an estimated Rs 70 crore from overseas markets, Pushpa 2 could set a worldwide opening day record of Rs 270 crore.
Releasing on a Thursday, Pushpa 2 is strategically positioned to maximise its initial box office performance with an uninterrupted solo opening day. Starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil, the sequel continues Pushpa Raj’s story as he battles to retain his dominance in the red sanders smuggling world.
The buzz around Pushpa 2 has already impacted the schedules of other films. To avoid clashing with the release, the makers of Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal, are reportedly rescheduling their release date. Trade expert Taran Adarsh praised the decision, noting that Pushpa 2 has the potential to outperform competitors in multiple languages, making it wise for other filmmakers to avoid the same release window.
Pushpa 2: The Rule promises to deliver a cinematic spectacle that transcends regional boundaries. With its massive fan base and compelling narrative, the sequel is expected to set new benchmarks in Indian cinema, potentially becoming the highest-grossing opener of all time.
