This contribution brought the film’s nett domestic box office collection to Rs 1184.65 crore.
Breaking the Record
The makers of Pushpa 2 announced on Tuesday that the film had achieved Rs 1760 crore in worldwide collections by Day 26. At that point, the film was only Rs 28 crore shy of overtaking Baahubali 2’s global record. In the last two days, Pushpa 2 earned an additional Rs 20.85 crore in India alone, pushing its worldwide collection over the Rs 1788 crore mark. The growth in the film’s earnings over the past few days shows how strong its momentum continues to be, even a month after its release.
The film has become a global sensation, with audiences in India and across the world flocking to theaters to experience it. Its success isn’t just attributed to the performance of its lead actor Allu Arjun but also to the wide appeal of the film’s direction, music, and high-energy action sequences.
Record-Breaking Collections Across Languages
On New Year’s Day, Pushpa 2 experienced one of its most successful days at the box office. These numbers add to the film’s already impressive domestic total, which now stands at Rs 1184.65 crore. Breaking down the collections by language, the film’s Hindi version contributed Rs 774.65 crore, while the Telugu version brought in Rs 330.53 crore.
The success of the film in various regional markets is a testament to the broad appeal of Pushpa 2, which has not only resonated with fans of Telugu cinema but has also captured the imaginations of audiences from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The film’s soundtrack, featuring chart-topping tracks, and Allu Arjun’s charismatic performance have been key to its widespread success, making it one of the most celebrated films in recent years.
Continuing Strong in Theatres
Despite having been in theaters for almost a month, Pushpa 2 continues to attract large crowds. The film’s ability to maintain such a strong performance at the box office even after its initial release shows the depth of its appeal. Part of this continued success can be attributed to the film’s fanbase, particularly in the Hindi-speaking markets, where the film’s popularity has surged post-release.
While Pushpa 2 benefits from Allu Arjun’s star power, it is the larger-than-life narrative, gripping action sequences, and memorable characters that have made it an enduring success.

The story of Pushpa, which has captivated millions, centers on the rise of a local laborer who eventually becomes a powerful figure in the world of illegal sandalwood smuggling. With its engaging storyline, strong performances, and powerful music, the film has won over viewers worldwide.
