With Rs 270 crore at the box office on Day 1, Pushpa 2 is expected to become the biggest Indian opening of all time

The eagerly awaited sequel Pushpa 2: The Rule, featuring Allu Arjun in the lead, is all set to create history at the Indian box office, with its release date now advanced to December 5, 2024. Directed by Sukumar, the film is generating massive anticipation and is expected to earn an extraordinary Rs 270 crore worldwide on its opening day. This figure includes a significant contribution from both domestic audiences and international markets, reinforcing the movie’s global appeal. Following the phenomenal success of Pushpa: The Rise, the sequel promises to elevate the legacy further, with Allu Arjun reprising his iconic role as Pushpa Raj.

Breaking down the expected earnings, the film is projected to collect a jaw-dropping Rs 200 crore from Indian territories alone on day one. Meanwhile, overseas markets are anticipated to contribute an additional Rs 70 crore, potentially setting a record-breaking worldwide opening day collection of Rs 270 crore.

Releasing on a Thursday, the film benefits from a strategically chosen date, ensuring an uninterrupted solo release and maximising its opening performance. Alongside Allu Arjun, the film stars Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil, continuing the gripping narrative of Pushpa Raj’s struggle to maintain his supremacy in the perilous red sanders smuggling trade.

The excitement surrounding Pushpa 2 has already influenced the release schedules of other films. The makers of Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal, are reportedly adjusting their release plans to avoid a direct clash with the mega-release. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has commended this move, emphasizing that Pushpa 2 has the potential to dominate across multiple languages, making it a formidable competitor.

Pushpa 2: The Rule is expected to deliver a visually stunning and emotionally engaging experience that transcends regional cinema. With its extensive fan base and thrilling storyline, the film is poised to set new benchmarks in Indian cinema, potentially securing its place as one of the most significant opening day grossers of all time.
