Pushpa-2 Box Office Collections; Breaks RRR and KGF Records

The recent arrest and subsequent bail release of Icon Star Allu Arjun, related to a stampede incident at the Sandhya Theatre during the premiere of Pushpa-2, have led to a significant surge in the film's box office collections. According to the movie tracking portal ShockNilk, the film grossed over ₹75 crore globally on its second Sunday (December 15).

The Telugu version contributed ₹16 crore, while the Hindi version alone amassed ₹55 crore. The Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam versions added smaller amounts to the total. With these strong weekend earnings, Pushpa-2 has crossed the ₹1,300 crore milestone worldwide within just 11 days of its release.

This achievement positions Pushpa-2 as the third-highest-grossing Indian film ever, surpassing RRR (₹1,230 crore) and KGF: Chapter 2 (₹1,215 crore). Currently, only Baahubali 2 (₹1,790 crore) and Aamir Khan's Dangal (₹2,070 crore) remain ahead in the rankings. Industry analysts speculate that Pushpa-2 could potentially overtake Baahubali 2 if its current box office trend continues.

Domestically, Pushpa-2 has earned over ₹900 crore within 11 days, with the Hindi version alone contributing more than ₹500 crore in net collections. Directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil in lead roles, the film continues to dominate the global box office.
