The much-anticipated release of Pushpa 2: The Rule has set the box office ablaze, living up to its massive hype and fanfare. The Allu Arjun starrer has now made history, becoming the first film to sell over 18 million tickets on the popular ticketing platform, BookMyShow.
According to reports, this record-breaking achievement highlights the unparalleled frenzy among fans. Despite being a Telugu-language film, the Pushpa franchise has successfully captured a pan-India audience. The prequel, Pushpa: The Rise, made waves across the country, and even held its trailer launch event in Patna, a northern Indian city—a testament to its widespread appeal.
Pushpa traces the journey of a small-time sandalwood smuggler who rises to become a feared gangster. The sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule, picks up from where the first left off, focusing on Pushpa’s reign and his intense rivalry with IPS officer Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat, played by Fahadh Faasil. Rashmika Mandanna returns as Srivalli, adding emotional depth to the story. Directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film hit theatres on December 5 in multiple languages, including Hindi and all major South Indian languages.
The response to Pushpa 2 has been overwhelming, with fans and critics lauding its larger-than-life action sequences and gripping narrative. Encouraged by the success, the filmmakers have hinted at a third instalment, tentatively titled Pushpa 3: The Rampage.
With its record-breaking ticket sales and growing fanbase, Pushpa 2: The Rule has cemented its position as a cinematic phenomenon with Allu Arjun becoming a pan-India household name.
