After the mega-hit ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ in 2021, the blockbuster combo Allu Arjun and director Sukumar are coming together with the sequel ‘Pushpa: The Rule‘. The expectations for the sequel have peaked high and the film is set for a grand release on December 5. The reservations for the highly-awaited sequel have been progressing firmly, and the film is gearing up for a record opening. Surpassing the 50 crore mark in advance sales for the opening day on Sunday (Dec 1), ‘Pushpa 2‘ now nears the 100 crore mark in advance sales for the opening day according to Cinetrak. The Allu Arjun starrer is likely to have a 200 crore opening with a day to go for the film’s release, and the sequel is anticipated to create a new record for an Indian film on the opening day.
In advance sales, ‘Pushpa 2’ clocked Rs 30+ crore from Telugu states, and the domestic earnings have surpassed Rs 60 crore with Rs 3 crore each coming from Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Around Rs 20 crore has been added from the USA premieres, while the overall advance sales for the film from overseas are estimated to be around Rs 30 crore. So far it’s a splendid start for the Allu Arjun starrer at the box office, and the film is positioned right to peak well at the box office.
SS Rajamouli’s directorial ‘RRR’ and ‘Baahubali 2’ hold the first two places in the list of highest-grossing Indian films on opening day with Rs 223.5 crore and Rs 214 crore respectively. Let’s wait to see whether ‘Pushpa 2’ will pull down these two films or not.
