Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 Outpaces Pathaan’s Records:
The much-awaited sequel has achieved a jaw-dropping global collection of ₹1074.85 crore, including ₹689.4 crore from its Hindi-dubbed version alone.
This monumental feat surpasses Pathaan, which garnered ₹543.09 crore in India, with ₹524.53 crore from its Hindi market.
