Once again, they created a profound cinematic marvel rooted in Indian mythology, showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of India. The film explores the ancient origins of the Buta Kola ritual and expands upon the lore and history introduced in the 2022 film. With next-level action, magnificent visuals, top-notch VFX, goosebumps-inducing music, and an incredible performance by Rishab Shetty, the film became the biggest film of the year. It dominated the box office with collections of around ₹880 Cr. and now ranks as the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
