Allu Arjun's latest action drama, Pushpa 2: The Rule, has set a new record by becoming the fastest Hindi film to gross ₹600cr at the box office. The milestone was achieved in just 13 days post-release. T-Series announced the achievement on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "#Pushpa2TheRule is THE FASTEST HINDI FILM to hit the 600 CRORES mark."
'Pushpa 2' surpassed previous Hindi box office records
On its second Tuesday, Pushpa 2: The Rule raked in ₹23.35cr, breaking the record for the highest collection on a second Tuesday for any Hindi film. By the end of Day 13, the film's domestic collection reached ₹952cr, with the Hindi collection at ₹601.5cr. With this, it defeated Stree 2 (₹597.99cr). This beats the previous records of SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD, which both failed to cross ₹600cr in Hindi box office collections.

In fact, collections witnessed a whopping 70% spike the day after his arrest.
