Allu Arjun’s blockbuster film Pushpa 2, directed by Sukumar, has maintained its stellar performance at the box office, entering its third week on a high note. The film’s total domestic box office earnings have reached an impressive ₹1109.85 crore, with Hindi audiences contributing ₹716.65 crore to the tally.
On its third Wednesday, the film amassed ₹19.75 crore across all languages. Strong festive season footfalls contributed to its consistent success, with 51.87% occupancy in afternoon shows and 54.18% in evening shows on Christmas Day.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh highlighted the film’s extraordinary run during the holiday period. In his report, he stated, “The #Christmas to #NewYear period traditionally witnesses an upswing at the #BoxOffice, and #Pushpa2 is expected to add substantial revenue to its already historic total. The ₹800 crore milestone [in Hindi markets] now appears to be well within reach.”
Despite mixed reviews, Pushpa 2 has captured the audience’s imagination. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, writing for NDTV, noted, “The self-same rampage is repeated in the climax. Pushpa once again dons the guise of Kali. After the hurly-burly is done and a wedding is underway to indicate an end to hostilities, Pushpa 2 points to a Pushpa 3. The final chapter of the trilogy will be titled Pushpa: The Rampage. As if there hasn’t been enough already.”
Produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers in association with Sukumar Writings, Pushpa 2 has become a cultural phenomenon, setting the stage for its anticipated sequel. With its box office dominance showing no signs of slowing, the film is poised to continue breaking records well into the holiday season.
