Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rule has stormed the Indian box office with an unprecedented opening, raking in approximately Rs. 190 crore on its first day. This staggering debut has dethroned Baahubali: The Conclusion, which held the record for the highest first-day collection in Indian cinema for over seven years. The film’s phenomenal start exceeded expectations, surpassing the previous record by nearly 50%.
Pushpa 2 is now the fifth film in India to cross the Rs. 100 crore mark on its opening day, and it came very close to making history as the first film to hit a double-century milestone. Had the film released on its original date of 15th August, it might have comfortably achieved that historic figure.
Here’s a look at the top fifteen highest first-day grossers at the Indian box office:
| Rank | Film Title | First-Day Gross |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pushpa: The Rule | Rs. 190.00 cr |
| 2 | Baahubali: The Conclusion | Rs. 133.00 cr |
