Adipurush Movie Release & Review Live Updates: Prabhas Film Expected to Mammoth Opening :- Adipurush Movie Release Live Updates: The Prabhas starrer film got a good response during its advance booking and is looking forward to break the record set by Pathaan this year.
Adipurush, the much-awaited film of Telugu superstar Prabhas, hits the theaters on Friday. The mythological drama is a retelling of the Hindu epic, Ramayan. In the film, helmed by Om Raut, Prabhas plays Lord Ram, Kriti Sanon stars as Sita, Sunny Singh is Lakshman and Saif Ali Khan plays the role of Ravana.
The film is made on an enormous budget of Rs 500 crore. After its advance bookings opened on Sunday, the film did a business of Rs 12 crore. The national theatre chain PVR sold over one lakh tickets in the Hindi market itself and trade analysts are expecting a huge opening at the ticket counters across the country.
Film trade analyst Girish Johar pegged the film’s opening day collection at Rs 50 cr, including all languages. Speaking about the craze around Ramayan among Indians, film trade expert Taran Adarsh said, “For me, the most important thing is not Prabhas, Kriti Sanon or Saif Ali Khan. For me, it is Ramayan, and it is a very strong emotion. Everything else is secondary,” he states, while agreeing that many Indians watching the film will resonate with his emotion.” New reports suggested that the first day collection can be even higher, and may eclipse Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan’s first day collection.
Adipurush is the story of Lord Ram, whose wife Sita was kidnapped by the evil Ravana. He took the help of the vanara army and brought her back with him to Ayodhya. Kriti recently opened up about portraying the role of Janaki (Sita) in the retelling of Ramayana. She said that the scale and magnitude of Om Raut’s directorial is massive and the film is going to be a “visually spectacular experience” for the audience. However, she also shared that she used to jokingly tell the director that she’s shooting for her “biggest film on the smallest set,” as the entire film is shot in a studio.
Adipurush is set to start off on a monstrous note at the box office with sensational advance bookings domestically and also in the USA. The film is sure to have a multi-million opening weekend at the USA box office.
However, the Tamil market hasn’t yet contributed to the bookings of this mythological epic.
While the Telugu and Hindi shows are selling like hot cakes, with excellent booking trends across USA, the Tamil version isn’t seeing any growth.
The Tamil bookings are almost inexistant. For a film that’s packing so much hype and anticipation in Telugu and Hindi, it doesn’t quite compute why the Tamil market isn’t booming.
