Pushpa: The Rise – ₹268 crore
Pushpa 2: The Rule – ₹1265.97 crore
Total: ₹1533.97 crore

This makes Pushpa the only Indian franchise to surpass ₹1500 crore in domestic collections.

📌 Pushpa vs. KGF – The Battle for ₹2000 Crore
Yash’s KGF franchise also made waves at the box office, with KGF Chapter 2 becoming the third highest-grossing Indian film after Pushpa 2 and Baahubali 2.

💰 Total KGF Franchise Collections:

KGF Chapter 1 – ₹186 crore
KGF Chapter 2 – ₹865 crore
Total: ₹1051 crore

While KGF Chapter 3 is expected to be massive, it will require a ₹949 crore+ box office run to enter the ₹2000 crore club. However, with Pushpa 3 only needing ₹482 crore, it has a higher chance of achieving this historic milestone first.

📌 What’s Next for Pushpa 3?

Ravi Shankar confirmed the film’s 2028 release.
Allu Arjun will first complete projects with Atlee and Trivikram Srinivas before returning as Pushpa Raj.
Director Sukumar will helm Ram Charan’s next before diving into Pushpa 3.

If Pushpa 3: The Rampage delivers as expected, it could become the first-ever ₹2000 crore Indian franchise, setting a new benchmark for Indian cinema.
