Despite the Monday slowdown, Pushpa 2 has shattered records globally. The film earned Rs 829 crore in worldwide gross collections over its opening weekend, becoming the fastest Indian film to cross the Rs 800 crore milestone, as per production house Mythri Movie Makers. The studio announced the figures on their official X (formerly Twitter) account, calling it the “biggest wildfire at the box office.”

In its Hindi dubbed version, Pushpa 2 achieved a record-breaking net collection of Rs 72 crore on day one, overtaking the opening day earnings of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan (Rs 65 crore for its Hindi version).
According to sacnilk, following Monday’s performance, the film now boasts a total earning of Rs 880 crore at the worldwide box office. If the film keeps up its pace, it is likely set to make it past the Rs 1000 crore mark by the end of the week.
