Directed by the celebrated filmmaker Vetri Maaran, this action-packed drama, starring the immensely talented Vijay Sethupathi, continues the compelling narrative that captivated audiences in the first instalment.

Released in theatres on December 20, 2024, in both Tamil and Telugu, Viduthalai Part 2 quickly garnered significant attention and praise. The film’s gripping storyline, coupled with exceptional performances from its stellar cast, solidified its position as a must-watch cinematic experience.

The ensemble cast includes not only the charismatic Vijay Sethupathi but also a talented array of actors such as Manju Warrier, Soori, Gautam Vasudev, Rajiv Menon, and Anurag Kashyap, each adding their unique flair to the narrative. Their powerful portrayals contribute significantly to the film’s overall impact.

Upon its theatrical release, Viduthalai Part 2 was met with overwhelmingly positive responses from audiences and critics alike. The film’s raw intensity and captivating plot held viewers spellbound from beginning to end. Even renowned actor Dhanush took to X to express his admiration, describing the film as “raw, gripping, and engaging,” and commending Vetri Maaran’s masterful direction. Online reviews echoed these sentiments, with many praising the “banger screenplay” and hailing Vijay Sethupathi’s performance as a career highlight.

Pushpa 2 box office collection Day 45: Allu Arjun’s film run ends after 6 weeks

The overseas contribution stands at approximately ₹270.5 crore according to Sacnilk.

Published

on

The extended-cut release of Pushpa: The Rule on January 17th, hoped to reignite fan enthusiasm and boost box office numbers, has ultimately fallen short of expectations. The “reloaded” version failed to provide the significant resurgence needed, leaving the Allu Arjun-starrer struggling in its seventh week of theatrical run. The film’s performance has been significantly underwhelming, marked by a steep 61.58% decline in earnings by the end of its sixth week.

This downturn casts a shadow over the previously reported figures. While the film’s global collection is estimated at ₹1731.65 crore as of January 18th, this is considerably less than the ₹1831 crore announced by the filmmakers on January 6th. This discrepancy raises questions about the accuracy of the previously reported figures and the film’s overall box office success. Independent trackers, like Sacnilk, report a significantly lower number, further highlighting the inconsistency in the reported figures. The overseas contribution stands at approximately ₹270.5 crore according to Sacnilk.

The film’s current trajectory suggests that it’s unlikely to reach even ₹1800 crore in worldwide collections, falling far short of its initial projections. This underperformance significantly impacts its standing amongst the highest-grossing Indian films. While the producers declared Pushpa: The Rule an “industry hit” and the fastest Indian film to cross ₹1831 crore, this claim remains unsubstantiated and disputed by independent box office trackers. The film still trails behind Baahubali 2 (₹1790 crore gross) and Dangal (₹2070 crore gross) in terms of worldwide earnings.

The film’s daily earnings further underscore its declining performance. On its 45th day (January 18th), Pushpa: The Rule managed to garner only an estimated ₹1.1 crore, with a meager ₹0.3 crore from Telugu and ₹0.8 crore from Hindi markets. Its performance in Kannada and Malayalam has practically ceased, while Tamil collections are negligible. The total India net collection stands at ₹1226.75 crore, indicating a significant slowdown in revenue generation. Given these current trends, the prospect of Pushpa: The Rule surpassing Baahubali 2’s record now seems highly improbable. The initial excitement surrounding the film has clearly waned, leaving its ultimate box office success significantly in doubt.
