Its massive appeal across languages—Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, and Hindi—has contributed significantly to its box office triumph.
The third weekend saw the film mint over ₹57 crore nett in India, cementing its position as a box office phenomenon. With over ₹1,500 crore gross worldwide and its Indian net collections crossing ₹1,000 crore, the movie is expected to continue its winning streak in theaters.
Allu Arjun’s Career-Defining Moment
Allu Arjun’s portrayal of Pushpa has earned him immense acclaim, and the film has solidified his status as a pan-India superstar. The film’s electrifying music, action-packed sequences, and gripping narrative have resonated with audiences across all age groups.
Comparing the Giants: Pushpa 2 vs. Baahubali 2 and Dangal
While ‘Pushpa 2’ has surpassed Baahubali 2 in Indian collections, it still has some ground to cover in global collections. Baahubali 2 amassed ₹1,788.06 crore worldwide, and Aamir Khan’s Dangal leads with ₹2,070.3 crore. However, analysts predict that Pushpa 2 could challenge these figures if its current momentum continues.
With its phenomenal success, ‘Pushpa 2’ is expected to set a new benchmark for Indian cinema. The film’s unprecedented run has not only revived the box office but also opened doors for more regional films to achieve global recognition.
