Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna‘s Pushpa 2: The Rule continues its box office dominance, emerging as the biggest Hindi film ever, surpassing Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao‘s Stree 2. It has also set a new benchmark by becoming the first Hindi film to cross the Rs 600 crore mark.
After the disappointing performance of Zero, Shah Rukh Khan took a break from films, returning with Pathaan, which became the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time, collecting Rs 524 crore. However, he soon shattered his own record with his next film, Jawan, directed by Atlee, which amassed Rs 582.31 crore, becoming the biggest Hindi film at the time. This record was later broken by Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2, which earned Rs 597.99 crore. Now, Pushpa 2: The Rule, directed by Sukumar, has set a new milestone by collecting Rs 607.35 crore at the Hindi box office by the end of its 14th day. On its 14th day alone, the film earned Rs 16.25 crore, crossing the Rs 600 crore mark.
The journey of Pushpa 2 has spread like wildfire at the box office, minting Rs 725 crore in the first week, and adding Rs 257 crore over the next 6 days of the second weekend. Its total collection has now reached Rs 973.1 crore and needs another Rs 30 crore to become the biggest film of Indian Cinema beating Ss Rajamouli and Prabhas’s Baahubali 2 -The Conclusion which had collected Rs 1030 crore at the box office.
Trade Analyst Komal Nahta shares that the difference between Hindi collection and Telugu collection is only because of the capping of ticket prices in the Telugu belt, and there are no such restrictions on Hindi belt. The film is getting the same amount of appreciation in both the languages.
