“Pushpa 2: The Rule,” starring Allu Arjun, has finally entered the record books as India’s highest-grossing film within the country, leaving behind monolithic blockbusters such as Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Dangal. Having minted over INR 1831 crore globally, the lion’s share of it was generated in the Indian market. Directed by Sukumar, the success of the film is credited to a tight storyline, Allu Arjun’s stardom, proper marketing, and multilingual appeal. Pushpa 2 has changed the face of Indian cinema and conceptualized a bridge between regional and pan-India cinema while reviving the feeling of cinematic experience after the pandemic era.
