Pushpa 2 movie review and box office collection updates: The Allu Arjun starrer makes Rs 100 crore just from advance booking in India
'Pushpa 2: The Rule', the highly anticipated sequel to Allu Arjun's 2021 blockbuster 'Pushpa: The Rise', is just hours away from its highly awaited theatrical release tomorrow, 5 December 2024. Directed by Sukumar, this action-packed drama promises to take the story of Pushpa Raj to greater heights with double the action, following his rise from a humble labourer to a key player in the sandalwood smuggling syndicate.
Allu Arjun, who won the National Award for his performance in the first instalment, returns in the lead alongside Rashmika Mandanna reprising her role as Srivalli. The film also features Fahadh Faasil as Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat. According to reports, the film's narrative will delve deeper into the conflict between Pushpa and Shekhawat while exploring his rise to power.
The first film in the franchise grossed an estimated Rs 400 crore globally. Its success laid the groundwork for 'Pushpa 2', which is already generating record-breaking advance sales. According to box office reports on sacnilk.com, the movie is well on its way to record a Rs 300 crore weekend at the global box office. With advance day 1 sales crossing Rs 80 crore, buzz is that the film will beat the lifetime collections of 'Pushpa: The Rise' in its debut week at the box office. The movie is poised to surpass collections of blockbuster hits including Prabhas' 'Kalki 2898 AD' and even Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan' and 'Pathaan'.
Trade analysts have even boldly predicted that 'Pushpa 2' could just become the highest-grossing Indian film of 2024.
The huge box office numbers have been linked directly to the hype around the film and also the higher ticket pricing. The Andhra Pradesh government approved the price hike of the tickets for the film, calling it a "progressive decision". This move backed by the government, has made ticket pricing for 'Pushpa 2' the highest for a Telugu film.
Despite the rise in ticket prices, reports state that shows are selling out in multiple regions, with fans eager to experience the cinematic extravaganza on its opening day. Not only that, the movie is also expected to do rocking business in North India, that has seen a huge popularity of South cinema in the last few years.

‘Pushpa 2’ redefines theatrical dominance; experts discuss
While Hindi movies have this existing rule of a eight-week window between theatrical to OTT release, this wasn't the case in south films which were dubbed in Hindi. This was more problematic for big south movies which had the scope of getting more box office numbers. Trade expert Girish Wankhede says, "The ongoing tussle between North Indian distributors and multiplexes regarding the distribution of South Indian films has been quite unfortunate, leading to significant losses in the multiplex business for major masala films such as “Leo,” “Goat,” “Jailer,” and Vettaiyan: The Hunter’. Initially, the multiplexes in the North agreed to screen these films under the condition that the OTT release would occur only after an eight-week theatrical window. This became a contentious point, as producers were inclined to release their films on OTT platforms after just four weeks—a timeline that was acceptable to South Indian exhibitors but not to their North Indian counterparts."

Allu Arjun recounts conversation with music composer Devi Sri Prasad
"I used to tell him, it is very difficult for me to do a Hindi film but as a music director, it is easy for you to do a Hindi film. Why don't you do it? He said 'Why don't you do a Hindi film and with you, I will also do it.' I told him that I would never do a Hindi film because at that time it was extremely hard to do a Hindi film," Arjun told reporters.
"Doing a Hindi film was such a huge thing even to aspire for. We used to have that thing that, 'Maybe in our lifetime we will do one Hindi film'. It was that far away for us to do the Hindi film. So from that mindset to coming to this stage and standing here is a very big thing for me," the actor added.
"Pushpa 2: The Rule" is directed by Sukumar and also features returning stars Rashmika Mandanna as Srivalli and Fahadh Faasil as SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat.
