Allu Arjun’s highly anticipated sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule, continues to dominate the global box office, achieving remarkable milestones. The action-packed entertainer saw a staggering 70% worldwide jump in collections following Allu Arjun’s recent arrest and release, boosting its box office numbers on its second Saturday.
Pushpa 2: The Rule Worldwide Box Office Day 10 Collection
As of Saturday night, after 10 days in theatres, Pushpa 2 has amassed an impressive ₹1196 crore globally, as reported by Sacnilk. The film earned ₹86 crore on Saturday, a significant increase from Friday’s ₹51 crore, showcasing a 70% surge worldwide and a 74% rise in the domestic market.
This tremendous performance has pushed Pushpa 2 past Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan and placed it within striking distance of Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2, which earned ₹1208 crore globally. With current trends, Pushpa 2 is expected to surpass KGF 2 on Sunday and set its sights on SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which holds a worldwide box office collection of ₹1309 crore.
Domestic and Overseas Collections
In India, Pushpa 2 earned ₹63.30 crore net on its tenth day, bringing its total domestic net collection to ₹826 crore (₹986 crore gross). Internationally, the film has also performed exceptionally well, raking in ₹210 crore gross so far.
Overseas Resurgence
Pushpa 2 witnessed a revival in overseas markets, where collections had slowed after the fifth day. On its tenth day, the film brought in nearly $2 million, solidifying its chances of surpassing Indian cinema’s top two global earners – Aamir Khan’s Dangal and SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.
About Pushpa 2: The Rule
Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa 2: The Rule is the sequel to the 2021 blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise, which grossed over ₹340 crore worldwide and established Allu Arjun as a pan-India star. The sequel sees Allu Arjun reprise his role as the gritty gangster Pushpa Raj, alongside Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil.
Impact of Allu Arjun’s Arrest on Box Office

Aiming for All-Time Records
