Even as the curtains begin to close on its theatrical run, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rule – Part 2 continues to make a lasting impact at the box office, earning a remarkable Rs 12 lakh on its 54th day. As the movie inches closer to its OTT debut, the film’s total collection has now crossed a staggering Rs 1232.44 crore, further solidifying its status as a box office sensation.
Pushpa 2’s Box Office Triumph Despite Declining Theatrical Earnings
On the 54th day of its release, Pushpa 2: The Rule – Part 2 earned Rs 12 lakh, which might seem modest compared to its previous weeks but is still impressive considering the film is nearing the end of its theatrical run. This modest sum added to its already massive total, bringing the film’s India net collection to Rs 1232.44 crore.
The film debuted with a bang, raking in Rs 725.8 crore in its opening week, an astounding figure that set high expectations for its ongoing run. Its second week saw a strong performance too, earning Rs 264.8 crore. However, as expected with most long-running blockbusters, the earnings began to taper off in the following weeks.
- Week 1: Rs 725.8 crore
- Week 2: Rs 264.8 crore
- Week 3: Rs 129.5 crore
- Week 4: Rs 69 crore
- Week 5: Rs 25.25 crore
- Week 6: Rs 9.7 crore
- Week 7: Rs 5.85 crore
- Week 8: Rs 1.89 crore
Despite this gradual decline, the film has maintained a steady pace, making it one of the highest-grossing films of the year and continuing to hold the audience’s attention even after over seven weeks.
What’s Next for Pushpa 2: The OTT Release
The upcoming OTT release of Pushpa 2: The Rule – Reloaded is eagerly awaited by fans, and Netflix has already stirred excitement with an announcement. The movie will be available for streaming starting January 30, but there’s a twist — the OTT release will come with 23 minutes of extra footage, giving viewers even more content to savor.
While the film will be available in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, the Hindi-dubbed version will be excluded from the initial release. Netflix made the announcement with a promotional poster on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “Pushpa’s rule is about to begin! Watch Pushpa 2 – Reloaded Version with 23 minutes of extra footage on Netflix, coming soon in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam & Kannada!”
This special version of the film is expected to attract both fans who missed it in theatres and those looking to relive the action with added material. The OTT release is particularly significant given the film’s continued success in cinemas, offering yet another chance for the movie to dominate the digital space.
What’s Next for the Pushpa Franchise?
Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule is the sequel to the highly successful Pushpa: The Rise that was released in 2021. The film follows the story of Pushpa Raj, portrayed by Allu Arjun, and his rise in the world of smuggling, with intense action and powerful performances at the forefront.
Given the massive success of the sequel, there have been reports that a third part of the Pushpa franchise is already in development. Fans are eagerly anticipating the continuation of Pushpa’s journey, with speculation rife about the direction the third film will take. If the success of the first two parts is any indicator, the upcoming films are likely to enjoy similar success at the box office and on streaming platforms.
