Fans who are waiting for the OTT release of ‘Pushpa 2’ will be able to stream the mass entertainer on the OTT giant Netflix. Reports are doing the rounds that Netflix has acquired the streaming rights for ‘Pushpa 2’ at a jaw-dropping price of Rs 275 crore.

The demand for the movie’s OTT release is very high, but the fans will have to wait for a while before they get to enjoy the film from the comfort of their small screens. The streaming service hasn’t confirmed the official OTT release date of ‘Pushpa 2,’ but if we go by the typical release patterns then the action drama will arrive on the platform 6-8 weeks after its theatrical debut. This suggests that the fans can expect the movie to reach the online platform around February 2025.
Further, the movie will be available in multiple languages - Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi, as mentioned by the streaming platform in an earlier post.
Pushpa 2’s exemplary box-office success
According to the Sacnilk report, ‘Pushpa 2’ had the biggest opening with a collection of Rs 70.3 crore in India. Further, as we speak, the Sukumar directorial, headlined by Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna has become 3rd biggest Indian grosser after ‘Jawan,’ and ‘Stree 2.’ The film has been receiving rave reviews from all over the world. ETimes gave the movie 3.5 out of 5 stars and mentioned - “Director Sukumar’s brilliance shines through in Pushpa 2: The Rule. He masterfully balances a mass entertainer with a film rich in social commentary, weaving layers of emotion, action, and intrigue into a compelling cinematic experience. Despite the extensive runtime of 3 hours and 20 minutes, the film keeps its audience riveted with a mix of high-octane sequences, character-driven moments, and a poignant emotional arc.”
'Pushpa 2 ' has achieved remarkable success, but it has also had a fair share of controversy surrounding it. Lead actor Allu Arjun was arrested last Friday after a fan tragically died in a stampede during the film's premiere. Following his arrest, the film's worldwide earnings surged by 70%, sparking speculation that the incident was staged for publicity. Despite the mixed reactions and daily earnings fluctuations, 'Pushpa 2' continues to thrive at the box office, raising questions about the impact of such controversies on its popularity.
Meanwhile, 'Pushpa 2' has collected Rs 953.3 crores from India in 13 days and from Telugu and Hindi, the film has minted Rs 290.9 crores and Rs 591.1 crores respectively. ETimes review for the film reads, "The film’s technical excellence is remarkable and a step up from the first instalment. Mirosław Kuba Brożek’s cinematography vividly captures the vibrant chaos of the forest, the intensity of the action, and the emotional nuances of quieter moments. Scene transitions are seamless, and the framing of shots is exquisite. Devi Sri Prasad’s music elevates the narrative, with tracks like Sooseki and Kissiki blending into the storytelling. The background score complements the film’s tone, while the action choreography balances grit and grandeur, offering a visual treat."
On the other hand, 'Pushpa 2' is only getting mediocre reviews from the Kerala audiences.
