Pushpa 2 The Rule box office collection week 1

Sacnilk reported that Pushpa 2 earned 33 crore on its eighth day (it was a Thursday release), which took its cumulative 8-day haul to 726.25 crore. This is already the fourth-highest collection by any film in India and Pushpa 2 has only been in theatres for a week.

Like its predecessor Pushpa: The Rise, the bulk of Pushpa 2’s earnings have come from the Hindi-dubbed version. As per Sacnilk, the Hindi version has collected over 425.6 crore so far, much more than the 241.9 crore earned by the original Telugu version. The film’s pan-India appeal can be gauged by the fact that the Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam versions have also fared well, earning 41 crore, 5.35 crore, and 12.4 crore respectively.

Pushpa 2 registered the best opening ever by an Indian film, earning 165 crore net domestically and 294 crore gross worldwide on its first day itself. It has already crossed the 1000-crore mark worldwide and is now among the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films ever.
