Following the release of Baahubali: The Beginning, the nation eagerly awaited its sequel, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. When it finally released, the film became a massive blockbuster, creating an unparalleled phenomenon in Indian cinema that remained unbeaten until Sukumar's Pushpa 2: The Rule came out. This film shattered box office records, earning immense love from audiences worldwide, and ultimately surpassed Baahubali 2: The Conclusion to become the highest-grossing film.
While several films surpassed the Hindi collections of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, none managed to surpass its worldwide collections—until the release of Pushpa 2: The Rule. This speaks volumes about the universal appeal of Pushpa 2: The Rule and the overwhelming love it has received from audiences. The film is being celebrated as a Pan-India phenomenon, much like Baahubali 2: The Conclusion was in its time. In every territory, Pushpa 2: The Rule has performed exceptionally well. While Baahubali 2: The Conclusion grossed ₹152.6 crore in the Telugu market, Pushpa 2: The Rule has surged ahead with collections of ₹335.41 crore in the same market. The worldwide lifetime collection of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion stands at around ₹1810 crore, while Pushpa 2: The Rule has already crossed ₹1830 crore worldwide in just 32 days and is still counting.
Remarkably, the film has also shattered records set by Jawan and Stree in the Hindi belt, as well as records across other Indian markets.
This is a rare occurrence that only a few films have achieved—universal praise and adoration. The credit undoubtedly belongs to director Sukumar, the visionary behind this epic cinematic creation. His steadfast belief in his craft has resulted in a groundbreaking masterpiece. Sukumar has redefined Indian cinema with his distinct vision, solidifying his place as one of the greatest directors of this generation.
This is the strength of captivating content. When a filmmaker creates something truly engaging, audiences are bound to embrace it wholeheartedly. Sukumar has exemplified this perfectly with Pushpa 2: The Rule.
