₹1,500 Crore in 24 Days, and an OTT Twist: Is Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 Adding New Scenes?
As of its fourth Saturday, Pushpa 2 continues to dominate the box office, showing no signs of losing momentum. After a slight dip in collections on Friday, the film witnessed a remarkable 42.86% growth on Saturday, earning ₹12.5 crore in a single day.
A Global Sensation
Directed by Sukumar and starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil, Pushpa 2 has rewritten box office history. In just 24 days, the movie has grossed over ₹1,500 crore worldwide. Its Hindi version alone is inching closer to the ₹750 crore mark, solidifying its pan-India appeal and record-breaking run across multiple languages and regions.
Rumors of Extended Scenes
The excitement around the film isn’t just about its staggering numbers. Speculation about extended footage has further fueled the buzz. Reports suggest that an additional 15–20 minutes could be added to the film after Christmas, potentially bringing the runtime to an epic 3 hours and 40 minutes. However, it remains unclear whether these scenes will premiere in theaters or debut exclusively on OTT platforms.
Box Office Breakdown
Pushpa 2’s regional collections highlight its wide-reaching success:
Hindi Version: ₹741.15 crore
Telugu Version: ₹322.23 crore
Tamil Version: ₹56.3 crore
Kannada & Malayalam Versions: Modest contributions completing the global tally.
The total domestic earnings now stand at ₹1,346 crore, cementing its status as a global juggernaut.
Competition Fizzles Out
Meanwhile, Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan and released on December 25, has struggled to match Pushpa 2’s colossal figures. Over four days, the film has managed a cumulative ₹22.77 crore, a stark contrast to Pushpa 2’s single-day earnings. The tepid response to Baby John underscores the unparalleled dominance of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa Raj.
The OTT Angle
Fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation about the rumored additional scenes. Many believe the extended runtime could elevate an already riveting narrative. Whether these new scenes make their way to theaters or become an OTT-exclusive offering remains to be seen.
With Pushpa 2 continuing its dream run and setting new benchmarks, the excitement surrounding its future developments is sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
