Pushpa-2: ₹100 Crores Even Before Release

Baahubali 2 set new benchmarks in Indian cinema by achieving unprecedented box office feats — earning 100 crores in a single day and crossing the 1000 crore mark overall. These were milestones no one had ever imagined before. However, not every big film that followed managed to replicate such success. Even today, earning 100 crores on the first day and surpassing 1000 crores in total is considered a huge accomplishment.

In this context, a film earning 100 crores just through advance bookings before its release is nothing short of remarkable.

Allu Arjun and Sukumar’s highly anticipated sequel Pushpa-2 has achieved this feat. With outstanding worldwide pre-sales, Pushpa-2 has already crossed the 100 crore gross mark purely from advance bookings. Industry experts and trade pundits are all praising this achievement.

What’s even more impressive is that in the U.S. alone, Pushpa-2 has already hit the 4 million dollar mark in advance sales. If the film is performing this well in the U.S., it’s safe to imagine how strong the advance bookings are in Telugu states and North India. In Telugu states, premiere shows are being held tonight, with ticket prices soaring to 1000 rupees, and most of those shows are already sold out. The wide release scheduled for Day 1 has also sold out a significant number of shows.

With this kind of advance booking success, Pushpa-2 has already raked in a huge amount before even hitting the theaters. Earning 100 crores before release is no small feat. By the time the first day run concludes, the film is expected to easily cross the 200 crore mark, with some trade analysts predicting it could touch 250 crores on Day 1. If the film receives positive word-of-mouth, reaching 1000 crores is almost a given — and that will be the icing on the cake!
