Sukumar directorial Pushpa 2: The Rule, featuring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandana is creating history at the box office even before its release.
The film has sold a staggering 50,000 tickets in leading national chains—PVR Inox and Cinepolis—just for the opening day in the Hindi market.
The count surged to 55,000 tickets within 10 hours of bookings opening, making it one of the fastest-selling films in Hindi cinema history.
The pace of advance bookings has surpassed that of major releases like Animal and Gadar 2, highlighting the immense excitement for the film across India. Projections suggest that Pushpa 2 could sell over 5 lakh tickets in national chains by Wednesday night, with a possibility of hitting the 6-lakh mark, positioning it as a strong contender to challenge the 7-year record of Baahubali 2 (6.5 lakh tickets sold in 2017).
