A Global Box Office Sensation
Pushpa: The Rule, directed by Sukumar, has set the global box office ablaze. According to Variety, the film grossed a staggering $92.5 million over its four-day opening weekend, making it the third-highest-grossing film globally, trailing only Disney's Moana 2 and Wicked.
The sequel to 2021's Pushpa: The Rise, which earned $46 million globally, continues the saga of Pushpa Raj, a red sandalwood smuggler. In Pushpa: The Rule, Allu Arjun reprises his iconic role, showcasing Pushpa's meteoric rise in the underworld after outwitting Superintendent of Police Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat.
The film opened on December 5 with an impressive worldwide opening day gross of $34.6 million, breaking the Indian record previously held by RRR, which had a $26 million opening day.
Climbing the 2024 Box Office Charts
Currently, Pushpa: The Rule is the third-highest Indian grosser of 2024, following Kalki 2898 AD starring Prabhas, and Stree 2 featuring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. With its current momentum, the film is poised to surpass these titles to become the highest-grossing Indian film of the year.
A Pan-India Phenomenon
Allu Arjun's powerful performance and Sukumar's masterful storytelling have turned Pushpa 2 into a global phenomenon. The film not only celebrates Indian cinema's growing international acclaim but also cements Allu Arjun's place as one of the most formidable stars in the industry today.
With accolades from a legend like Amitabh Bachchan and record-breaking numbers at the box office, Pushpa: The Rule has undoubtedly become a cultural and cinematic milestone.
