Analysts expect it to reach ₹1000 crore by the end of its first week or by the second weekend at the latest.

Regional Success The Hindi version of ‘Pushpa 2’ is performing exceptionally well, especially in Mumbai, where it earned ₹14.45 crore, surpassing the Andhra/Nizam region’s ₹12.84 crore. This success is remarkable for a Telugu film on a Monday.

Critical Acclaim ETimes rated the movie 3.5 out of 5 stars, praising Sukumar's direction and the blend of drama, action, and an engaging soundtrack. Despite its 3-hour and 20-minute runtime, the film captivates audiences with high-octane sequences and a compelling emotional arc.

Celebrity Praise Celebrities like Sujoy Ghosh and Ram Gopal Varma have lauded the film. Ghosh described it as a beautifully crafted magic show, while Varma called it the biggest Hindi film in Bollywood history, despite being a dubbed Telugu film.

‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ continues the story of Pushpa Raj, a laborer-turned-smuggler, played by Allu Arjun. Rashmika Mandanna reprises her role as Srivalli. The film also stars Master Dhruvan and Fahadh Faasil, delivering a perfect mix of action and drama.
