ALLU ARJUN starrer “Pushpa 2: The Rule” has become the second-biggest hit in Indian cinema after earning ₹9.3 billion (£86.26m) in just 12 days domestically.
The Hindi version contributed ₹5.73 billion (£53.15m) to this total.
The Telugu film, directed by Sukumar, released on December 5 worldwide in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam.
The film now ranks ahead of S.S. Rajamouli’s RRR, featuring Ram Charan and NTR Jr., while Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (₹10.3 billion) remains the highest-grossing Indian film. In the Hindi market, Pushpa 2 follows Stree 2, which grossed ₹5.98 billion.
The sequel to the 2021 blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil.
The box office update follows lead star Allu Arjun’s arrest and subsequent release in connection with a stampede incident at the film’s premiere, resulting in the death of a woman. Arjun spent a night in jail before securing interim bail from the Telangana High Court after being remanded to judicial custody.
