The viral claim that Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule has crossed 1000 crore at the global box office is likely exaggerated. While the film has seen exceptional success, early reports suggest worldwide earnings of 450-500 crores, far short of the milestone. This article examines the factors behind the claim, including sequel performance, market competition, and international reach. Comparisons to hits like Baahubali 2 and RRR highlight the practical challenges. Even with inflated figures, Pushpa 2 proves that South Indian cinema is gaining global clout, and authentic box office reporting is crucial for industry credibility and growth.
