The Allu Arjun-led Pushpa 2 may be on its way to its OTT release, but the film still has fans flocking to theatres to watch the movie on the big screen.
Pushpa 2: The Rule Movie Review
The action blockbuster collected an estimated Rs 15 lakh on its 8th Tuesday, as per early estimates from Sacnilk.com. This marks a sharp decline from Monday’s earnings of Rs 30 lakh.
The sequel to Pushpa: The Rise opened at the domestic box office with a staggering Rs 725.8 crore in its first week and continued its strong performance in the following weeks, earning Rs 264.8 crore in the second, Rs 129.5 crore in the third, and Rs 69 crore in the fourth. However, as expected, collections dipped in subsequent weeks, with Rs 25.25 crore in the fifth, Rs 9.7 crore in the sixth, Rs 5.85 crore in the seventh, and an estimated Rs 2 crore so far in the eighth week.
As the film gears up for its OTT debut, Netflix has announced Pushpa 2: The Rule – Reloaded, featuring 23 minutes of additional footage. The extended version will be available for streaming starting on January 30, although the Hindi-dubbed version will not be released initially.
Directed by Sukumar, this sequel follows the success of the 2021 blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise, which collected Rs 108.25 crore in Hindi markets alone. With its massive theatrical run the film has already taken over the 3rd spot on the list of highest-earning Indian films of all time.
