On December 5, this cinematic juggernaut not only claimed the title of the highest opening day ever for a Hindi film but also set benchmarks that will likely remain unchallenged for years to come. With a staggering collection of ₹72 crore, it has rewritten the history books, leaving behind the once-mighty Shah Rukh Khan and his film "Jawan," which held the previous record at ₹65.5 crore.
The film's triumph is not merely confined to the Hindi belt; it has made waves across all languages, grossing over ₹280 crore worldwide on its opening day. This remarkable feat makes "Pushpa 2" the highest opener in Indian cinema history, surpassing even SS Rajamouli's acclaimed "RRR" and marking a significant milestone for Allu Arjun and his team. The excitement surrounding its release was palpable, with advance ticket sales hitting an unprecedented 3 million, setting a new standard for future blockbusters.
What makes this achievement even more impressive is that "Pushpa 2" accomplished this without the cushion of a holiday or festival, making it the highest non-holiday and non-festival opening day ever recorded. The film's success is a testament to its wide appeal and the effective marketing strategy employed, which resonated with audiences across diverse demographics. As fans flocked to theaters, they were treated not just to a film but to an experience that has already begun to dominate conversations in cinema circles.
As we celebrate this monumental achievement in Indian cinema, one can't help but chuckle at the irony: while Allu Arjun's character famously declares, "Jhukega Nahi Saala," it seems that even the box office records are bowing down to his unstoppable momentum. If only there were a way for Allu Arjun to collect royalties on all those shattered records—he might just end up being richer than his on-screen persona!
