Pushpa 2 set a record box office collection of 144 crore nett across India in all versions on its first day. This easily beats the previous biggest grossers (Bahubali 2, KGF 2 and RRR) and these films had all gone over 100 crore nett but under 110 crore nett. Here Pushpa 2 has gone over 140 crore nett on day one and there is 10 crore nett also from the paid previews on Wednesday which were mainly in Nizam / Andhra and Mysore / Karnataka.

The film like Bahubali - The Conclusion scored in both the big collecting sectors of Hindi and Nizam / Andhra which was not the case with RRR and KGF2. In Nizam Andhra it fell a little short of RRR which is the biggest opener in the market but managed to edge past Devara (not counting paid previews). In Tamil Nadu its pretty much similar to RRR and will possibly be the highest number ever for a Telugu film in that state. Kerala is also the highest for a Telugu film though less than KGF 2. But it will be Hindi driving the film in the long run as reports down South are not as good as they are from the heartland.

If we count the paid previews then the collections come out to 154 crore nett after the first day and there is another $7.5 million in Overseas which is like two days for the big South films. This gives the film a worldwide total of 247 crore after the first day. Bahubali 2 and RRR were the biggest before this and were around the 200 crore range.  The all India collections of Pushpa 2 on day one are as follows.
