Pushpa 2 Eyes Dangal's Crown
Pushpa 2's global impact cannot be overstated. While Dangal currently holds the record for the highest-grossing Indian film with Rs 2,070 crore, much of its success came from its massive earnings in China. In contrast, Baahubali 2 made Rs 1,030 crore in India alone, with its worldwide total reaching Rs 1,788 crore. Pushpa 2 has now overtaken these films, continuing its record-breaking run and eying for Dangal's record.
Can Pushpa 2 Keep the Pace?
With Pushpa 2 still drawing audiences despite being nearly a month into its theatrical run, the question on everyone's mind is whether it will reach the Rs 2,000 crore mark globally. With new releases like Ram Charan's Game Changer coming up on January 10 and the Pongal-Sankranthi festive period soon approaching, the competition is bound to intensify in southern market. Yet, the fact that Pushpa 2 is still earning double-digit figures on day 28 suggests it has the potential to sustain its momentum.
In the final stretch of its box office run, Pushpa 2 continues to hold strong. Whether it hits the Rs 2,000 crore mark or not, the film has already set records that will likely stand for a long time in Indian cinema history.
