Pushpa 2 The Rule Sets New Records at the Box Office
The Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna-starrer has broken yet another record with its massive second Monday collections in the Hindi belt, cementing its position as one of the highest-grossing Indian films ever. Pushpa 2 The Rule continues to shatter box office expectations, with no signs of slowing down since its release.
The film has earned an impressive net of ₹20.5 crore at the Hindi belt, surpassing the collections of Stree 2 (₹18 crores nett), and has accumulated an overall total of ₹582 crore nett in the Hindi belt. With this incredible feat, the film is speculated to soon cross the ₹600 crore mark, further solidifying its status as a box office sensation. With an overall total of ₹929.85 crore in India and over ₹1000 crore worldwide, the film is now among the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films ever.
However, all this good news comes amidst somber reminders of the controversy surrounding the film. In a separate incident related to the film's release, Allu Arjun was charged with negligence following the death of a 39-year-old woman in a crowd crush during a screening of the film in Hyderabad. The woman, accompanied by her 9-year-old son, suffered suffocation and later passed away, while her son was admitted to the hospital in critical condition. An investigation is still ongoing into the incident, but Allu Arjun has expressed willingness to support the victim's family and cover the medical expenses for the child.
As Pushpa 2 The Rule continues to succeed at the box office, fans and audiences alike cannot help but peruse the incredible journey of the film, which has captivated domestic and international audiences with its promise of captivating storytelling and stellar performances from its lead actors. With such incredible milestones achieved without showing signs of despair, it is expected that Pushpa 2 will perhaps conclude its pantomime on the highest note.
