Pushpa 2 Fever: Sells 6.6 Lakh Tickets, Eyes ₹100 Crore Opening!
The bookings for Pushpa 2: The Rule have set the stage for a historic box office performance. Directed by Sukumar, the film is already generating massive excitement across India, with early numbers indicating an extraordinary opening. Trade reports from Sacnilk reveal that Pushpa 2 has raked in ₹30.92 crore in bookings for Day 1. And with three days still to go before release, this figure is expected to soar even higher.
Over 6.6 lakh tickets have been sold across various languages and formats, including 2D, 3D, IMAX, and 4DX. While Telugu bookings have unsurprisingly reached new heights, the Hindi version is not far behind. The Telugu bookings have brought in ₹10.57 crore with 2,73,519 tickets sold, while the Hindi version has achieved ₹10.14 crore and 3,40,892 tickets sold—marking a rare phenomenon in Indian cinema. The Hindi version is leading in 3D and IMAX formats, while Telugu dominates the 2D bookings.

This is particularly notable as the first Pushpa film’s Hindi version earned ₹13 crore during its opening weekend. The sequel seems poised to surpass that figure on its first day alone. The Malayalam version also shows promising numbers, but the Tamil and Kannada versions are picking up at a slower pace. However, Tamil bookings are expected to accelerate as the state recovers from recent heavy rains and cyclones.
For comparison, this year’s biggest opener, Kalki 2989 AD, earned ₹61 crore in Day 1 bookings and ₹95.3 crore on release day. All eyes are now on Pushpa 2 to see if it can breach the ₹100 crore mark on its opening day. Adding to the buzz. Paid premieres on December 4 with Telangana government-approved price hikes may further bolster the film’s chances of a record-breaking debut.
With its star power, innovative promotions, and massive anticipation, Pushpa 2: The Rule is on track to redefine box office success in Indian cinema.
