The film has been a relentless performer, breaking records and capturing audiences' interests worldwide. While it began to witness a slight dip in its collections towards the end of week 2, the box office numbers for Pushpa 2 on its 17th day have defied expectations, staying strong well into its third week.

On the international front, Pushpa 2 has become a major force, amassing over Rs 1500 crore globally in just 14 days, thus making it the fastest Indian film to reach this monumental milestone. With the film continuing to draw in international audiences, it now aims for the global record held by Baahubali 2, which stands at Rs 1788 crore. Though the competition will only intensify in the coming weeks, the film's momentum suggests that it might just have what it takes to surpass this record and claim the position of the highest-grossing Indian film globally.
Upcoming Competition from New Releases
Despite Pushpa 2's strong box office run, the road ahead is not without hurdles. New films released during the Christmas period, including Shah Rukh Khan's Mufasa: The Lion King, Vijay Sethupathi's Viduthalai 2, and the upcoming Varun Dhawan's Baby John, are expected to capture some of the box office share. The family-friendly appeal of Mufasa could especially draw in younger viewers, which may affect Pushpa 2's business during the holiday season. Additionally, the release of regional films like Khadaan and 5 No Swapnamay Lane in Bengal could also divert some audiences from Pushpa 2.
