Pushpa 2 Makes Strong Mark in Japan, Collects ¥105 Million in 14 Days

The Rule , the Telugu blockbuster directed by Sukumar, is making waves in Japan despite the absence of its first part in Japanese theaters. Released on January 16, 2026, the film has grossed ¥105 million (approximately ₹6.1 crore) over the first 14 days, attracting over 17,000 footfalls . The film began modestly with 886 admissions on Day 1 across more than 250 screens, but word-of-mouth helped boost viewership steadily .

The film’s performance has outshined recent Telugu releases in Japan, including Salaar (¥45 million) and Kalki 2898 AD (¥22 million), placing Pushpa 2 as the fifth-highest grossing Tollywood film in Japan , following global blockbusters RRR , Baahubali 2 , Saaho , and Magadheera .

Fans and critics alike have praised Allu Arjun’s magnetic screen presence , which continues to resonate with Japanese audiences. The film’s rustic, raw storytelling and strong global appeal have contributed to its overseas success, complementing its massive worldwide box office tally that has already surpassed ₹1,790 crore .

Industry analysts note that the film’s reception in Japan is significant, given that it did not have the advantage of a Part 1 release in the country. Its steady growth in admissions demonstrates the rising international appeal of Telugu cinema , with Allu Arjun emerging as a key draw for foreign audiences .

With Pushpa 2 continuing its run, it is expected to climb further among Tollywood’s top earners in Japan , potentially surpassing several previous hits in the coming weeks.
