December 10, 2024: Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 has firmly established itself as a box-office juggernaut, breaking records with unprecedented earnings. On its first Monday, the film raked in ₹64.1 crore net across all languages, bringing its total net collection to an astounding ₹593.1 crore, according to Sacnilk.com. With these numbers, Pushpa 2 has solidified its position as one of the highest-grossing films in Indian cinema.
Record-Breaking Weekend
Pushpa 2 capped its extended weekend with an explosive ₹162 crore gross on Sunday, becoming only the second film in history to cross ₹150 crore in a single day—a record previously held by the same film. It also set a new benchmark in North India with the highest-ever single-day collections, falling just shy of ₹100 crore gross due to limited seating capacities in several regions.
The North Indian market has been particularly remarkable for the film, outperforming previous milestones set by blockbusters like RRR and Baahubali 2.
Day 5 Surge
Monday continued the film’s strong momentum, with packed bookings and high audience demand. The ₹64.1 crore net collection positions Pushpa 2 as a strong contender to potentially challenge the all-time record held by Baahubali 2. While it’s too early to predict the outcome, the trajectory suggests a historic box-office run.
Regional Highlights
- Andhra Pradesh & Telangana: After a slow start due to high ticket prices, the film rebounded on Sunday, collecting over ₹40 crore. The total four-day collection in these states stands at ₹178 crore, second only to RRR’s ₹193 crore.
- Tamil Nadu: Pushpa 2 earned nearly ₹13 crore on Sunday, taking its four-day total to ₹43 crore, the highest-ever for a non-Kollywood film in the state.
- Karnataka: The film surpassed RRR and Kalki 2898 AD with consecutive double-digit collections, showcasing its widespread appeal.
- Kerala: While slightly underperforming in this region, the overall trend points to a sustained and successful run nationwide.
The Road Ahead
With the film nearing ₹600 crore net, Pushpa 2 is poised to break more records in the coming weeks. The combination of Allu Arjun’s magnetic performance, a gripping storyline, and massive audience demand has propelled the film to the top echelons of Indian cinema.
