Pushpa Sequel Shatters Box Office Records, Outperforms Predecessor

In the past two years, Allu Arjun's Pushpa franchise has become one of the biggest in Indian cinema. The first installment, Pushpa 1, was released in December 2021 and enjoyed nationwide appreciation, earning a massive profit of almost 78.37% at the box office. The film's global gross collection reached ₹352 crore, establishing a solid fanbase that set the stage for the eagerly awaited sequel.

Pushpa 2, the second installment of the franchise, has now emerged as the clear winner in the box office battle. The Hindi-dubbed version of the movie alone earned a significant ₹836.09 crore net in India, and the film's overall gross collection in the country reached ₹1,493.84 crore. This impressive performance has cemented Pushpa 2's status as a record-breaking success.

Despite the sequel's massive box office numbers, it was Pushpa 1 that enjoyed a wider global reach and stronger critical acclaim. The first installment's popularity laid the foundation for the franchise's continued momentum, and fans are now eagerly awaiting the third part, Pushpa 3: The Rampage, which they hope will continue the trend of positive reception.
