Pan-India blockbuster 'Pushpa: The Rise' was released exactly 2 years ago, but the Allu Arjun starrer continues to set new highs and benchmarks in the popularity stakes even today. The movie, also starring Rashmika Mandanna, broke all records in the year it was released and even later—be it box office, impactful dialogues, chartbuster tracks, Allu Arjun-Rashmika Mandanna’s chemistry, Allu Arjun’s attitude, and swag as the lead protagonist Pushpa, among a lot of others!

The movie went on to hit a historic benchmark at the box office, elbowing out big releases from Bollywood and even internationally, and grossed over 350 crores globally. Such was the superstar’s pan-India appeal and star power that the Hindi version of the film alone went on to make over 80 crores. After giving an exemplary performance in India, the movie has become the first South Indian film of 2021 to hit the 2-million-dollar mark in the USA. The film hit the $2 million mark in just seven days.
