Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule is on track to break the long-standing opening day record held by Baahubali 2 at the Indian box office. With Baahubali 2 having set an impressive benchmark of ₹135 crore nearly eight years ago, Pushpa 2 is expected to surpass this figure comfortably upon its release tomorrow. The film has already generated significant buzz, selling over 2 million tickets and earning approximately ₹100 crore in advance bookings worldwide, which positions it as one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Trade analysts predict that Pushpa 2 could earn between ₹250 crore and ₹275 crore globally on its opening day, with estimates for domestic collections exceeding ₹150 crore. This success is attributed to the film’s lack of competition, record-high ticket prices in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and strong pre-release interest across North India. Unlike previous contenders such as RRR and KGF Chapter 2, which faced obstacles like limited releases and competition from other films, Pushpa 2 appears poised to capitalize on its favorable conditions. The film’s advance bookings have already surpassed those of iconic films like Baahubali 2 and KGF Chapter 2, making it the fastest film to sell over a million tickets on BookMyShow. As anticipation builds for its release on December 5, Pushpa 2: The Rule is set to redefine box office records in Indian cinema.
