Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 1 turned out to be a safe venture in many languages, but it struggled to break even in its home market of Andhra Pradesh.
The film was average in terms of box office performance in the Telugu-speaking regions, achieving good numbers in Nizam but falling short in Andhra Pradesh.

The breakeven figure for Pushpa in AP was around 65 crores in distributor share, but it only managed to earn about 45 crores. The unprecedented success in Hindi markets helped compensate for some of the losses.
Now all eyes are on Pushpa 2’s box office performance, particularly in Andhra Pradesh. Unlike the first film, ticket prices for Pushpa 2 are significantly higher, raising expectations for a blockbuster performance.

According to trade reports, Pushpa 2’s break-even figure is estimated to be around 85 crores share, 20 crores more than Pushpa 1. Only the Ceded region is projected at 30 crores which was around 18 crores for Psuhpa 1.
So Pushpa 2 needs to earn more than 100 crore distributor share in AP to break even.

Historically, only two films—Baahubali 2 and RRR—have surpassed the 100 crore share mark in Andhra Pradesh. Therefore, achieving breakeven in this state is difficult but not impossible for Pushpa 2.
Pushpa 2 worldwide breakeven gross is estimated to be around ₹1200 crores! The film needs to surpass the box office collections of RRR and KGF 2 just to start generating profits for its buyers.
The team is setting ambitious goals, aiming to create history by becoming the first film to enter the ₹300 crore club on its opening day at the global box office!
