Allu Arjun starrer highly anticipated Pushpa 2: The Rule is poised to make a thunderous entry at the Indian box office. With advance bookings already open and national chains like PVR and INOX reporting over 5.5 lakh tickets sold, the film is expected to create history on its opening day. Fans across the country are gearing up to witness the return of Pushpa Raj in this larger-than-life sequel directed by Sukumar.
Record-Breaking Advance Bookings of Pushpa 2
The advance booking numbers are nothing short of phenomenal. Major multiplex chains, including PVR and INOX, have reported brisk ticket sales, with over 5.5 lakh seats already booked. These figures are just a fraction of the expected turnout, as the single-screen theatres and smaller chains in India’s heartland are yet to report their numbers.
The demand for tickets has been unprecedented, with fans queuing up online and offline to secure their seats for the first-day, first-show experience. The pre-release buzz, fuelled by the massive success of Pushpa: The Rise and Allu Arjun’s electrifying presence, has ensured that the sequel is on track to set new benchmarks.
Predicted Day 1 Domestic Box Office Collection
Industry experts predict that Pushpa 2: The Rule could rake in a staggering ₹85-95 crore on its first day across India. This estimate includes collections from both multiplexes and single screens, which are expected to contribute significantly to the overall numbers.
Here’s a region-wise breakdown of the expected first-day collections:
South India:
The southern market is set to dominate the opening-day collections. Allu Arjun’s massive fan base in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala ensures that theatres in the region will run at near-full capacity. The film is expected to earn approximately ₹55-60 crore in South India alone.
- Andhra Pradesh & Telangana: ₹30-32 crore
- Tamil Nadu: ₹8-10 crore
- Karnataka: ₹10-12 crore
- Kerala: ₹5-6 crore
North India:
While Pushpa: The Rise was a sleeper hit in the Hindi belt, its sequel has already established itself as a hot favourite among North Indian audiences. The Hindi version is projected to contribute a significant ₹30-35 crore to the day-one total, driven by strong demand in metropolitan cities and tier-2 towns.
The film’s dialogues, songs, and Pushpa Raj’s signature style have made the character a pop culture phenomenon, ensuring that the sequel garners a massive opening in regions where South Indian films have traditionally had limited reach.
