Headlined by Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil in the leading roles, Pushpa 2: The Rule has set the box office on fire since its theatrical release on December 5 last year. The action-packed drama continues to draw audiences to the theatres in its seventh week across India. But, the film has been struggling now at the box office.
On its 49th day of the release, i.e on January 22, Pushpa 2 earned around Rs 50 lakh, as per the early estimates from the entertainment tracking portal Sacnilk. Till now, the Allu Arjun-starrer has earned over Rs 1200 crore net in India and grossed over Rs 1800 crore worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing Indian film ever.
On January 17, an extended version of the film titled Pushpa 2: The Rule Reloaded hit theatres with an extra footage of 20 minutes, taking the full runtime to 3 hours and 40 minutes. Apart from Allu, Rashmika, and Fahadh, Pushpa 2 also stars Jagapathi Babu, Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari, Dhananjaya, Rao Ramesh, Sunil, Anasuya Bharadwaj and Ajay in supporting roles.
Written and directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule is the direct sequel of Pushpa: The Rise. The first part had grossed Rs 350 crore worldwide and became the highest-grossing Indian film of 2019. The blockbuster sequel will be followed by Pushpa 3: The Rampage, which was teased in the second part’s climax.
Released on December 5, Pushpa 2 remained the first choice of the moviegoers even after multiple movies hit theatres across languages. These included Varun Dhawan’s Baby John and Sonu Sood’s Fateh in Hindi, Mufasa: The Lion King in English, Kiccha Sudeep’s Max in Kannada, Mohanlal’s Barroz and Unni Mukundan-starrer Marco in Malayalam.
