The buzz surrounding Pushpa 2: The Rule is reaching a fever pitch as advance ticket sales break records, turning the box office into an absolute frenzy. Allu Arjun’s star power is undeniable, with the film already selling over 400,000 tickets ahead of its official release. With a highest-priced ticket pegged at Rs 2400, the film is setting new benchmarks in the Indian movie industry.
Allu Arjun’s Rage at the Box Office
If there’s one word that can sum up Pushpa 2, it’s “rage.” And no, we’re not talking about the kind you’d expect from a fast-paced thriller. We mean the sheer force with which the film is selling tickets on BookMyShow (BMS) even before its release. The advance bookings are nothing short of extraordinary.
From 7 PM to 8 PM on December 1, a whopping 23,000 tickets were booked. By 8 PM, that number jumped to a staggering 242,000 tickets, showcasing the immense anticipation for this much-awaited sequel. As the film barrels towards its official release on December 6, its ticket sales are showing no signs of slowing down.
Record-Breaking Ticket Sales
By the end of the first 24 hours of ticket sales, Pushpa 2 had already sold 400,000 tickets, with a record 219,000 tickets snapped up within the first 24 hours. This is a huge milestone, and the number itself speaks volumes about the hype surrounding the movie. For comparison, it surpassed Leo’s 126,000 tickets and is well on its way to challenging the likes of Jawan, which saw 253,000 tickets sold on its first day.
Despite these impressive numbers, Pushpa 2 didn’t quite manage to surpass Kalki 2898 AD, which sold 330,000 tickets within its first 24 hours. Still, it’s clear that Allu Arjun’s latest film is resonating with fans across the country.
The Highest-Priced Ticket: Rs 2400
Now, let’s talk about the pricing. The highest-priced ticket for Pushpa 2 is being sold for a hefty Rs 2400. This premium ticket is available at select theaters like Maison Inox at Jio World Plaza in BKC (Mumbai) and PVR Director’s Cut at Ambience Mall in Delhi. While this is a significant amount for a movie ticket, it reflects the high demand and premium experience that fans are willing to pay for.
Interestingly, the lowest-priced ticket can be found in Chennai’s AGS Cinemas OMR: Navlur, where a ticket costs as little as Rs 60. The price difference underscores the diverse audience that Pushpa 2 is attracting, with fans from various regions, each with their own preferences and budgets.
Anticipation and Hype: The Pushpa 2 Phenomenon
The anticipation for Pushpa 2 is skyrocketing, not only because of Allu Arjun’s stardom but also due to the massive social media buzz the film is generating. With 1.7 million likes on BMS and topping IMDb’s Most Anticipated list with an impressive 68.24%, it’s safe to say that this film is riding high on expectations.
The film will release in multiple formats, including 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D, across five languages: Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. With a runtime of 3 hours and 20 minutes, Pushpa 2 promises to be an action-packed cinematic experience. Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Allu Arjun in the role of Pushpa Raj, the character that turned him into a pan-India superstar.
Box Office Numbers and Future Projections
As the release date approaches, the box office projections for Pushpa 2 are already looking incredibly promising. The film has already shattered records in terms of pre-sale tickets, and there’s no doubt that it will continue to dominate the box office once it hits theaters.
Given the current pace of ticket sales, it’s expected to surpass previous records set by other major films this year. If the trend continues, Pushpa 2 will likely have one of the highest opening weekends of all time in Indian cinema.
