Pushpa 2, starring Allu Arjun in the titular role, is one of the most highly anticipated Indian films in recent times. With immense buzz surrounding its release, the film has the potential to break several records at the Indian box office, especially in the Hindi-speaking regions. This sequel could pose a significant challenge to Prabhas, who currently reigns supreme in the Hindi belt, and might even surpass the milestones set by the Darling star.
Prabhas has established himself as the biggest superstar from the South in the Hindi market. From the massive success of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion to the upcoming Kalki 2898 AD, his films have consistently performed well at the box office, with the exception of Radhe Shyam. His dominance in the Hindi belt is unmatched, making it difficult for contemporaries to surpass his level of stardom.
However, Allu Arjun now has a golden opportunity to challenge Prabhas’ reign with just one film. Two key milestones keep Prabhas at the top: the record-breaking opening day collection of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Hindi), which amassed a staggering ₹41 crores in 2017, and the lifetime collection of the same film, which stands at an unprecedented ₹511 crores. These achievements have solidified Prabhas’ position as a box-office powerhouse in the Hindi market.
Given the strong anticipation and excitement among audiences, Pushpa 2 (Hindi) is poised to break the opening day record set by Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. However, surpassing the ₹511 crore lifetime collection will depend heavily on the film’s content. If Pushpa 2 resonates well with the masses, it has the potential to eclipse even this colossal milestone.
In conclusion, Allu Arjun is on the brink of challenging Prabhas’ dominance in the Hindi belt with Pushpa 2. The film could mark a significant shift in the landscape of South Indian cinema’s influence in the Hindi market.
