With a staggering ₹1,600 crore in global box office collections in just 20 days, the film has eclipsed records set by RRR, Baahubali 2, and even the highly anticipated Kalki 2898 AD. These figures solidify Allu Arjun as a force to reckon with, transcending regional cinema to dominate the pan-Indian landscape.
Surpassing Baahubali and RRR
While Baahubali 2: The Conclusion held the crown for the highest-grossing Indian film for years, and RRR captured global attention with its Oscars win, Pushpa 2 has rewritten the rules.

His portrayal of a rugged underdog resonates deeply, drawing audiences across linguistic and cultural divides. Critics and fans alike are hailing him as the next Chiranjeevi, given his unmatched style, charisma, and mass appeal.
Cultural Phenomenon and Trends
Pushpa 2 is not just about numbers; it has become a cultural movement. Iconic dialogues, electrifying dance moves, and chartbuster songs have gone viral, cementing its place in pop culture. The film’s success highlights the growing dominance of South Indian cinema in the national and international markets.
Challenges Kalki 2898 AD’s Legacy
Even before its release, Kalki 2898 AD was touted as India’s biggest cinematic venture with a massive budget and an ensemble cast. However, Pushpa 2 has proven that sheer star power combined with compelling storytelling can dwarf even the grandest productions.
As Pushpa 2 continues to break records, its success signals a shift in Indian cinema’s dynamics. Allu Arjun is now at the forefront of this revolution, redefining what it means to be a pan-Indian star. With several high-profile projects lined up, his trajectory only seems to be climbing higher.
Allu Arjun has proven that he is more than just the biggest star in Telugu cinema; he is arguably the biggest star in Indian cinema today. With Pushpa 2: The Rule, he has not only shattered records but also established himself as a global icon, carrying the torch of Indian cinema to new heights.
