In Pushpa 2: The Rule, there’s a super cool scene where Allu Arjun’s character, Pushpa Raj, fights many bad guys with his hands tied behind his back! This epic fight is similar to what legendary stars like Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, Salman Khan, and Vijay have done for years. Even Shah Rukh Khan got in on the action last year!
Pushpa 2 has taken this style to the next level, and the money it’s making shows just how popular it is. Even though some parts of the film don’t always make sense, it perfectly fits the classic action movie formula designed to entertain everyone.
How Pushpa 2 Became So Successful
Just like earlier hits like Baahubali and KGF, the first film sets things up for the big success in the second part. While the first Pushpa was a hit in some places but not great in its home, the Hindi version turned out to be a big success. So, the second film’s success relied a lot on how well the Hindi version did.
As I write this, Pushpa 2: The Rule has already made ₹953 crores in India, with ₹591 crores coming just from the Hindi version! It has even beaten big films like Baahubali 2 and Pathaan at the box office. Truly impressive!
Sukumar’s Smart Direction
Allu Arjun is a huge reason why the film is doing well, but director Sukumar also deserves a lot of credit. Many filmmakers try to create a hit, but many fail, like the movies Adipurush and Kanguva. What makes Pushpa 2 different is its story, fun characters, and a hero that people can relate to. While other characters like Rocky Bhai or Baahubali are more of an icon, Pushpa is just like everyone else—and that worked!
The movie was advertised cleverly, including a trailer launch in Bihar, focusing on making it popular in Hindi-speaking regions. So far, it has earned more money in places like UP and Bihar than in its home state, Andhra Pradesh. This shows how smart the marketing strategy has been.
A Calculated Choice
The only downside for Pushpa 2 is its lower earnings in Kerala, where it made just ₹14 crores, while the Tamil version made about ₹50 crores. The presence of big star Fahadh Faasil as a weak villain may have affected its performance there. But featuring him that way might have been a strategic choice. The film is called Pushpa 2, not Pushpa vs Shekhawat, and the focus has to be on Pushpa being strong.
This smart decision seems to pay off as ticket sales keep ringing up! It’s one thing to plan for a big hit but quite another to succeed, and Sukumar has pulled it off in style. As the movie enters its second week, it could reach ₹1500 crores soon. People are even wondering if it can beat Baahubali 2 and Dangal. Whether it can or not, just the thought shows how big of an impact Pushpa 2 has made!
