Pushpa 2 entered the second week of its theatrical run on Thursday, December 12. The film's momentum has reasonably declined on the big screen given the working days. On the second Friday of release, which marked the ninth day of its theatrical run, Pushpa 2 raked in ₹36.25 crore, at the domestic box office.

The film minted ₹27 crore from the Hindi version and ₹7.5 crore from the Telugu version. The total of the Allu Arjun starrer stands at a staggering ₹762.1 Cr. The film's box office collection took a small dip amid the arrest of the actor Allu Arjun. He was taken into custody in a case relating to the death of a 35-year-old woman in Sandhya Theatre during the premiere of Pushpa 2 on December 4. The actor was later released on bail by Telangana High Court.
