Pushpa 2 Creates History: Highest-Grossing Indian Film Ever
Pushpa 2: The Rule has achieved what many thought impossible, shattering box office records and surpassing the mighty benchmark set by Rajamouli’s Baahubali. In just 32 days, Pushpa 2 has rewritten history, officially becoming the highest-grossing film in Indian cinema. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the movie has amassed a staggering ₹1,831 crore worldwide, a feat that has captured the attention of the entire nation.
Pushpa 2: A Historic Milestone in Indian Cinema
This unprecedented success is remarkable, especially for a mass commercial film like Pushpa 2. Historically, such box office records have been associated with Bollywood megastars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan, but Allu Arjun’s extraordinary performance has elevated Telugu cinema to new heights.
The term “Non-Baahubali” had become the gold standard for success in Indian cinema, but Pushpa 2 has finally broken free from this comparison, setting its own benchmark.
Telugu Cinema’s Rising Influence
The massive success of Pushpa 2 reflects the growing power of Telugu cinema on a national and global scale. In a recent interview, producer Naga Vamshi highlighted how Tollywood’s achievements are giving Bollywood sleepless nights. With milestones like these, the industry is poised to deliver even more groundbreaking successes in the future.
Pushpa 2 Dominating the Box Office
Even after a month in theatres, movie shows no signs of slowing down. Just yesterday, the movie sold over 90,000 tickets on Book My Show, demonstrating its enduring appeal.
While other films like Marco have received positive reviews, none have managed to achieve even half of Pushpa 2’s box office performance. This highlights the deep connection that audiences have with Pushparaj’s iconic character and storyline.
Challenges and Future Prospects
As the Sankranti festival rush approaches on January 10th, Pushpa 2’s momentum in southern markets may slow down. However, in northern India, the film continues to dominate due to the absence of major Bollywood releases. Analysts predict that movie will maintain its stronghold in northern theatres for at least 50 more days, solidifying Allu Arjun’s pan-India superstar status.
