Pushpa 2 Box Office: Will Allu Arjun's Sequel Surpass Aamir Khan's Dangal Record?

Aamir Khan's film "Dangal," released in 2016, has been a significant milestone in Indian cinema, grossing over ₹2000 crore worldwide. This achievement cemented Aamir Khan's reputation as a box office giant. However, Allu Arjun's "Pushpa 2: The Rule" is making waves with its impressive earnings. In just 32 days, it has collected ₹1831 crore and continues to perform well in theatres.

The question arises whether "Pushpa 2: The Rule" can surpass the record set by "Dangal." With its current pace, the film is already a major success globally. If it maintains this momentum, it might break Aamir Khan's long-standing record. Its growing popularity internationally could be a key factor in achieving this feat.

"Ghajini," released in 2008, marked a turning point for Bollywood. It was the first film to cross the ₹100 crore mark domestically, earning ₹114 crore. Starring Aamir Khan and Asin, it became the year's highest-grossing film. This success ushered in an era of high-budget films with grand narratives, setting new standards for future blockbusters.

In 2010, "3 Idiots" became another major hit for Aamir Khan. It grossed nearly ₹400 crore worldwide and ₹200 crore in India alone. Featuring Sharman Joshi, R Madhavan, and Kareena Kapoor Khan alongside Aamir, the film broke numerous records and solidified his status as a global star.

PK: Box Office Dominance

"PK," released in 2014, further established Aamir Khan's dominance at the box office. The film collected over ₹740 crore domestically and more than ₹800 crore globally. Starring Anushka Sharma alongside Aamir, it received critical acclaim both in India and abroad and paved the way for his entry into the 1000-crore club.

Dangal: International Phenomenon

"Dangal" stands as one of Bollywood's most successful films ever, grossing over ₹2000 crore worldwide. Its success extended beyond India, particularly in China where it gained immense popularity. This international acclaim helped "Dangal" surpass other top Bollywood films' collections and become a global phenomenon.

As "Pushpa 2" continues its successful run into its sixth weekend, comparisons with Aamir Khan's biggest hits are inevitable. While "Dangal" remains a benchmark for box office success, Allu Arjun's latest offering shows potential to challenge this legacy if its current trajectory persists.
