Released worldwide on December 5, 2024, the film achieved a groundbreaking milestone, crossing the ₹1000 crore mark within just six days of its release. This remarkable feat makes Pushpa-2 the first Indian film to reach this figure in such a short span of time.
A Record-Breaking Achievement

Pushpa-2 is now officially the first Indian film to cross the ₹1000 crore mark within such a short time, cementing its place in cinematic history.
Box Office Performance in the Hindi Market
While Pushpa-2 has garnered widespread success across various markets, its performance in the Hindi-speaking belt has been particularly exceptional. The film has grossed over ₹375 crore from the Hindi market alone in just six days, making it the fastest film to achieve this kind of financial success in the Hindi film industry. This outstanding performance has further amplified Pushpa-2’s box office dominance.
The Journey So Far
Following the massive success of the first film, Pushpa: The Rise (2021), Pushpa-2: The Rule was highly anticipated by fans. The sequel did not disappoint, opening with an eye-popping ₹294 crore worldwide on its first day. The film’s momentum continued throughout the opening weekend, with the global earnings surpassing ₹900 crore by the end of day five.
Pushpa-2’s success story is not just a triumph for Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Sukumar, but also for Telugu cinema, which has been increasingly making its presence felt in the broader Indian film industry. In fact, Pushpa-2 joins an elite list of films to have crossed the ₹1000 crore milestone, with only seven other films from India achieving this feat. These include Dangal, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, RRR, KGF: Chapter 2, Jawan, Pathaan, and Kalki 2898 AD.
Out of these eight films, four are from Telugu cinema, a testament to the growing influence of regional film industries in India’s broader cinematic landscape.
The Impact of Pushpa-2: The Rule
Pushpa-2: The Rule’s massive success underscores the shifting dynamics of the Indian film industry, where regional films, particularly those from the South, are breaking box office records and attracting global attention. With its gripping storyline, powerful performances, and stunning visuals, the film has struck a chord with audiences across the world, leading to an outpouring of support.
The film’s success has also highlighted the immense potential of the Telugu film industry, which has now firmly established itself as a dominant force within the pan-Indian cinematic ecosystem.
