Pushpa 2 box office collection: Allu Arjun-starrer becomes first film to cross Rs 700 crore-mark in Hindi

Headlined by Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil, Pushpa 2: The Rule is breaking records at the box office each day. Now, the pan-India action drama has become the first film to cross the Rs 700-crore mark in the Hindi language at the domestic box office. The next Hindi film in this list is Stree 2, which earned Rs 625 crore net in India earlier this year.

Pushpa 2: The Rule will now face competition from Varun Dhawan's action-packed drama Baby John. Also starring Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jackie Shroff, the film is set to release in cinemas on December 25 coinciding with Christmas. Backed by Atlee, the Kalees directorial is an adaptation of Thalapathy Vijay-starrer blockbuster Theri, which was helmed by Atlee in 2016.

Talking about its worldwide gross collections, Pushpa 2: The Rule has earned over Rs 1600 crore globally. It is the highest-grossing Indian film of 2024 and the third highest-grossing Indian film of all time behind Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Dangal. Baahubali 2 had amassed Rs 1800 crore gross in 2017 and Dangal had grossed Rs 2040 crore at the global box office.

The Sukumar directorial received overwhelming positive reviews from the audiences and critics. Allu Arjun's performance, solid action set pieces, and massy elevation scenes are its main highlights. Its duration of 3 hours and 20 minutes and impractical climax sequence are its biggest drawbacks. Pushpa 2: The Rule will be followed by Pushpa 3: The Rampage.
