Overview
- Released on January 16, the Sukumar-directed sequel collected about ¥105 million (approximately ₹6.1 crore) from more than 17,000 admissions in its first 14 days in Japan.
- Allu Arjun’s Tokyo appearances, including delivering a signature line in Japanese, drew enthusiastic fan responses that amplified the film’s local profile.
- Observers note that sustained performance will depend on repeat viewings in a market where slow-building hits often outlast their early totals.
- Early receipts trail SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which earned roughly ¥140 million in its first two weeks and ultimately approached ₹120 crore in Japan after an extended run.
- Many Japanese viewers are meeting the franchise through the sequel because Pushpa: The Rise did not screen locally, as the film’s worldwide gross is reported at ₹1,791.94 crore.
