Prabhas’ Baahubali 2 holds an unparalleled record at the box office, particularly for its opening day footfalls, which reached nearly 1 crore in India.

While many records have been shattered over the years, this feat remains unbroken.

The true measure of a film’s impact lies not just in its collections, which can be influenced by inflation and rising ticket prices, but in the sheer number of people who turn up to watch it.

Baahubali 2 garnered around 35 lakh footfalls in its Hindi version, 40 lakh from the Telugu states, and an additional 20-25 lakh from other languages. This makes it a formidable benchmark for any film to surpass.

However, if there’s one film that stands a chance to challenge this record, it’s Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2.

The sequel has been eagerly awaited, and the buzz surrounding it is palpable across all regions. With Allu Arjun’s massive stardom and the success of the first installment, Pushpa 2 could potentially reach the 1 crore footfalls milestone on its opening day.

Even achieving 70-75% of Baahubali 2’s footfalls would be an unprecedented feat for Allu Arjun, especially since it would be accomplished without the support of SS Rajamouli.

If Pushpa 2 can attract 25 lakh footfalls in Hindi, 30 lakh in Telugu, and another 10-15 lakh from other languages, it could indeed make history with unimaginable first-day numbers at the box office.
