The film grossed Rs 725.8 crore in its opening week, followed by Rs 264.8 crore in its second week. Though there was a slowdown in the third and fourth weeks, with collections of Rs 129.5 crore and Rs 69.65 crore, the film has shown its resilience.
The fifth-week performance, although slower, reflects the movie’s lasting impact.

This continued success highlights how “Pushpa 2” has not only broken records but has also shown staying power well beyond its initial release.
Hindi Version’s Unprecedented Success
One of the most notable achievements for “Pushpa 2” is the massive success of its Hindi-dubbed version. With Rs 800 crore and counting, this is a major milestone for any film in the Hindi language. No other film has ever crossed this threshold, making it an extraordinary achievement. It’s a testament to the appeal of Allu Arjun’s performance, as well as the widespread popularity of the film’s gripping storyline. The success of the Hindi version especially underlines the growing market for South Indian films in Hindi-speaking regions.
Not just a regional hit, but a massive pan-India phenomenon, “Pushpa 2” is a clear reflection of the changing dynamics in the Indian film industry. As more South Indian films break barriers, it speaks volumes about the evolving tastes of moviegoers across the country.
International Recognition: A Global Phenomenon
The film’s success has not been limited to India alone. Globally, it has crossed the Rs 1800 crore mark within just four weeks of its release. This makes it one of the highest-grossing films worldwide. More importantly, it surpassed the lifetime collections of SS Rajamouli’s “Baahubali 2,” which held the record with Rs 1810 crore.
This global success is a clear indication of the universal appeal of “Pushpa 2.” Directed by Sukumar, the movie’s gripping plot, stunning visuals, and larger-than-life performances have captivated audiences far beyond Indian shores. The film’s massive success can be attributed to its universal themes, striking action sequences, and performances that transcend language barriers.
