The cinematic powerhouse Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Fahadh Faasil, has shattered records since its release on December 5. Directed by Sukumar, the film has not only captivated audiences but also set the box office ablaze. Its Hindi dubbed version has crossed the Rs 800 crore mark in India, making it the first Hindi film to achieve such an unprecedented milestone.
On Sunday, Mythri Movie Makers celebrated the achievement on Instagram with a euphoric post, โBrand #Pushpa inaugurates ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ CLUB in Hindi โคโ๐ฅ #Pushpa2TheRule has a RECORD BREAKING COLLECTION in Hindi with ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ in 31 days.โ The movie has already amassed an astonishing Rs 1,799 crore worldwide in just four weeks, cementing its legacy as a global blockbuster.
Allu Arjun reprises his electrifying role as Pushpa Raj, with Rashmika Mandanna shining as Srivalli and Fahadh Faasil delivering a chilling performance as SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat. Critics and fans alike have hailed the film as a masterpiece, and the stage is already set for the next chapter: Pushpa 3: The Rampage.
However, this cinematic triumph has not been without its share of darkness. On December 4, a tragic stampede during the filmโs premiere claimed the life of a 35-year-old woman, Revathi, and left her young son injured.
Adding to the controversy, lead actor Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13 in connection with the incident. He was released on interim bail the following day, under the condition that he reports to the Chikkadpally police station every Sunday until January 10 or the filing of the charge sheet, whichever comes first.
While the record-breaking figures have fans ecstatic, the controversy has cast a shadow over the celebrations. Social media is abuzz with polarized opinions โ some lauding the filmโs monumental success, others questioning the accountability of its stars in the wake of the tragic incident.
Despite these hurdles, Pushpa 2: The Rule continues to dominate the cultural landscape, with its gripping narrative and Allu Arjunโs charismatic performance leaving an indelible mark on Indian cinema. Whether itโs the triumphs or tribulations, the film has solidified its place in history โ one that will be remembered for both its cinematic brilliance and the drama that unfolded off-screen.
