Pushpa 2 Breaks Records but Faces Declining Box Office Earnings
Allu Arjun's blockbuster surpasses ₹1,800 crore globally but struggles to maintain momentum as a reloaded version is announced.
- Pushpa 2: The Rule has become the highest-grossing Indian film in history, surpassing Baahubali 2 with a global collection of ₹1,831 crore in 32 days.
- Despite its record-breaking run, the film's daily earnings have significantly slowed in its fifth week, with Day 35 collections dropping to ₹1.24 crore in India.
- The filmmakers have announced a reloaded version with 20 minutes of added footage, set to release on January 11 to reignite audience interest.
- Allu Arjun's involvement in a stampede-related controversy disrupted post-release promotions, which some industry experts believe impacted the film's sustained performance.
- Pushpa 2 remains the second-highest-grossing Indian film worldwide, behind Dangal, but its chances of surpassing the ₹2,070 crore record appear slim.
