The film is now eyeing the records of other major releases, including Stree 2, which made Rs 597.99 crore, and Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, which earned Rs 640.25 crore domestically.

Notably, Pushpa 2’s Hindi version has become the fastest Indian film to surpass Rs 300 crore, achieving this milestone in just five days. Comparatively, Jawan and Pathaan took six and seven days, respectively, to reach the same benchmark.

Other films that entered the Rs 300 crore club quickly include Animal in seven days, Gadar 2 and Stree 2 in eight days, Baahubali 2’s Hindi version in ten days, and KGF: Chapter 2’s Hindi version in eleven days. Pushpa 2 now aims to surpass these titles as its box office performance continues.
