The phenomenal success of Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, continues to break records at the box office. Despite the controversy surrounding Allu Arjun’s recent arrest following a tragic incident at Sandhya Theatre, the film has seen unprecedented growth in collections.
Pushpa 2 Box Office Collection Day 10 Report
On its second Saturday Pushpa 2 Box Office Collection Day 10 witnessed a staggering growth of over 71%, earning a total of Rs 62.3 crore across all languages:
- Rs 46 crore came from the Hindi version.
- Rs 13 crore was contributed by the Telugu version.
This remarkable jump comes after the movie collected Rs 36.5 crore on Friday, showing an unprecedented upward trajectory. The total box office collection of the film in India now stands at an astounding Rs 824 crore across all languages, according to Sacnilk.
Hindi Version Dominates Collections
One of the most surprising aspects of Pushpa 2’s box office journey has been the dominance of the Hindi version, which has contributed Rs 498 crore to the overall total. This surpasses the film’s collections in the Telugu market and was previously thought to be unimaginable for a regional film.
Pushpa 2 Outshines Major Blockbusters
With its current total collections:
- Pushpa 2 Box Office Collection Day 10 shows now surpassed the lifetime collections of ‘Jawan’ in all languages.
- It has replaced Ram Charan and Jr NTR’s ‘RRR’ as the third biggest hit in Indian cinema.
This milestone positions Pushpa 2 to challenge the top two positions held by:
- Yash’s ‘KGF: Chapter 2’
- SS Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ starring Prabhas and Rana Daggubati.
Historic Second Weekend Projections
Pushpa 2 is on track to achieve another historic milestone. The film is expected to:
- Become the first post-pandemic film to cross Rs 100 crore on its second weekend.
- If the upward trend continues, it may even surpass Rs 150 crore for the weekend, thanks to strong word of mouth and festive buzz.
This record was previously achieved only by ‘Baahubali 2’ and ‘Dangal’ before the pandemic.
Impact of Allu Arjun’s Arrest
The arrest of Allu Arjun following the tragic stampede at the premiere show on December 4, which led to the death of a 39-year-old woman, could have been a setback for the film. However, Pushpa 2 has proved resilient, with its box office business soaring higher than ever post-Arjun’s release.
Upcoming Competition
The Christmas release Varun Dhawan’s ‘Baby John’ could pose a challenge to Pushpa 2 if the film receives strong reviews and positive word of mouth. However, given the momentum and immense popularity of Pushpa 2, the Allu Arjun starrer is expected to continue its dominance at the box office.
The Film has not only captivated audiences but is also rewriting Pushpa 2 Box Office Collection Day 10 box office records. With its tremendous second Saturday collections and strong upward trend, the film is all set to challenge India’s all-time highest-grossing films. Whether it can dethrone Baahubali 2 or KGF: Chapter 2 remains to be seen, but for now, Pushpa 2 is undoubtedly a juggernaut at the Indian box office.
