Allu Arjun and Sukumar’s highly anticipated sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule, is poised for a massive worldwide theatrical release on December 5, 2024. From its inception, the film has carried immense buzz, with industry expectations pointing toward a record-breaking opening for Indian cinema. With just three days to go, the excitement is palpable.
The advance bookings in Hindi markets have been exceptional, arguably generating more hype than in its native Telugu-speaking regions. Trade experts estimate that the Hindi version alone could rake in a minimum of ₹70 crores gross on its opening day in India. In the Telugu states, including premiere shows, Pushpa 2 is projected to collect an astounding ₹120 crores gross. Other southern states are expected to contribute at least ₹35 crores, bringing the domestic total to over ₹220 crores on the first day, potentially exceeding ₹250 crores based on word of mouth and additional shows.
Overseas markets are equally promising, with an opening-day gross projected at $10 million (approximately ₹80 crores). Combining the domestic and international figures, a ₹300 crore opening day is practically guaranteed for Pushpa 2, setting a new benchmark for Indian cinema. Fans and trade analysts alike are eagerly awaiting the movie’s release to witness this historic milestone.
