Yesterday, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 wrapped up its 8-day extended opening week at the Indian box office, and what a remarkable ride it has been. Despite being one of the most expensive Indian films, the magnum opus turned out to be a successful affair within a week, and now, it’s enjoying big returns. In between, it has broken several existing records and has set new benchmarks that would be difficult to surpass in the coming days. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 8!

Ever since the Pushpa sequel started its journey, it has broken almost every record for the opening week. From the biggest opening day to the highest total in the first week (7 days) or the 8-day extended first week, the film has established new records by overtaking past milestones. On the second Thursday, it also became the fastest entrant into the 700 crore club. Baahubali 2 achieved this feat in 11 days.

On day 8, Pushpa 2 displayed a minimal drop and raked in an impressive 38 crores (all languages) at the Indian box office.
