Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule, one of the biggest hits in Indian cinema, has started to show signs of slowing down at the box office. The movie, which stormed through records since its release on December 5, 2024, has now reached its lowest daily collection. On Monday, it managed to bring in just ₹60 lakh, according to reports by Sacnilk.com.
The film, which stars Allu Arjun as Pushpa Raj, a red sanders smuggler, has become a massive success, earning ₹1228.90 crore nett in India so far. Despite its recent slowdown, Pushpa 2 has already etched its name in history by surpassing Baahubali 2: The Conclusion to claim the spot as the second-highest-grossing Indian film ever.
The Breakdown of Collections
The movie started its run with a bang, pulling in ₹725.8 crore in its opening week. Week two added ₹264.8 crore, while week three brought ₹129.5 crore. After that, the collections dipped, with week four earning ₹69.65 crore and week five managing ₹25.25 crore. By the sixth week, the film added ₹9.7 crore, reflecting a steady drop.
On its 44th day, the movie earned ₹95 lakh. It climbed slightly to ₹1.1 crore on day 45 and ₹1.5 crore on day 46. However, on day 47, which was a Monday, collections fell to ₹65 lakh, its lowest so far.
Why is the Film Slowing Down?
The slowdown is a natural part of the box office journey for even the biggest films. After nearly seven weeks in theaters, Pushpa 2 has already been seen by millions across the country. Repeat audiences, who helped push its numbers in earlier weeks, may now be dwindling.
The release of other films in recent weeks has also divided audience attention. New content often impacts older films, no matter how successful they are.
What Makes Pushpa 2 Special?
Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule is the sequel to the 2021 hit Pushpa: The Rise. The film brings back Allu Arjun in his iconic role as Pushpa Raj, along with Rashmika Mandanna as Srivalli and Fahadh Faasil as Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat.
The storyline, gripping action, and powerful performances have kept audiences hooked. Allu Arjun’s portrayal of Pushpa Raj has been one of the highlights, earning him praise from fans and critics alike. The movie also gained traction for its chartbuster songs and intense dialogues, which have become a rage on social media.
What Lies Ahead?
Though the collections have dipped, the movie has already achieved monumental success. With a total of ₹1228.90 crore in earnings, it has set a benchmark that will be hard to beat. The makers are also focusing on maximizing collections from international markets, where the film is still doing well.
Pushpa 2: The Rule may be nearing the end of its theatrical run, but its legacy is far from over. Fans are already speculating about what’s next for the franchise, and Allu Arjun’s iconic role has cemented his place as one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema.
For now, the movie remains a talking point, whether for its record-breaking collections or its memorable characters. As the buzz around Pushpa 2 gradually slows, its impact on Indian cinema continues to shine brightly.
