By the end of Day 13, the film's domestic collection reached ₹952cr, with the Hindi collection at ₹601.5cr. With this, it defeated Stree 2 (₹597.99cr).

Unfazed performance
'Pushpa 2' continues success despite Arjun's arrest
The success of Pushpa 2: The Rule has remained unscathed despite the recent arrest of its lead actor, Arjun. After a stampede tragedy at a screening of the film, Arjun was arrested but the incident did not stop the film's box office run. In fact, collections witnessed a whopping 70% spike the day after his arrest.
Global impact
'Pushpa 2' dominates global box office, surpasses 'KGF Chapter 2'
Pushpa 2: The Rule has also made major strides at the global box office. After only 11 days, the film had collected a mind-boggling ₹1,302.6cr worldwide. This allowed it to overtake the lifetime collection of Yash's KGF Chapter 2 (₹1,215cr) and Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan. Now, it is headed to shatter the record of Rajamouli's RRR (₹1,309cr).
