Pushpa 2: The Rule’ Shatters Records with Rs 50 Crore Collection in Two Languages on Day 1

The much-anticipated sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun and directed by Sukumar, has taken the box office by storm. Released on December 5, 2024, the film created history by becoming the first movie in India to cross Rs 50 crore in two languages — Telugu and Hindi — on the same day.

A Phenomenal Start

The film’s opening day collection, reported by Sacnilk.com, is a staggering Rs 50 crore net from its Telugu and Hindi versions alone. This landmark achievement is complemented by its release in multiple other languages, including Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Bengali. Audiences had the option to watch the movie in formats like 2D, IMAX, 4DX, D-Box, and PVR ICE, with a 3D version slated for release soon.

Record-Breaking Figures

In its Telugu version, Pushpa 2 earned Rs 85 crore on its opening day, surpassing several southern blockbusters like:

• Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire (Rs 66.75 crore)
• Kalki 2898 AD (Rs 65.8 crore)
• Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Rs 58 crore)

However, it fell short of RRR’s Telugu version record, which raked in Rs 103 crore on its first day.

High Ticket Prices: A Controversial Move

To capitalize on the excitement, the makers raised ticket prices during the first week. Tickets in premium theaters in Mumbai and Delhi reportedly reached Rs 2500, a move approved by the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments. While some criticized the pricing strategy, it succeeded in drawing massive audiences, ensuring a robust opening.

The Sequel’s Star Power

Pushpa 2: The Rule continues the story of the 2021 blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise. Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil reprise their roles as Pushpa Raj, Srivalli, and Bhanwar Singh Shekawat, respectively. The sequel promises more action, drama, and intrigue, with the added possibility of a third installment in the franchise.

What Lies Ahead?

With its extraordinary opening, Pushpa 2 has set the stage for a massive theatrical run. Will it surpass RRR and Baahubali 2 in lifetime collections? Only time will tell. One thing is certain: Allu Arjun’s charisma and Sukumar’s direction have once again captivated audiences worldwide.
