The Telugu version of the film witnessed a robust opening and earned an exceptional collection. According to Sacnilk, Indian 2 brought in a total of Rs 17 crore from the Tamil version. It also had an overall 55 per cent occupancy, with the majority for night shows. Meanwhile, the film has excellent openings in Telugu. The film earned a collection of up to Rs 8 crore on its first day. On the second day, the film garnered Rs 2.5 crore nett in India in the Telugu version and Rs 13 crore in the Tamil version.
