Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balendra Shah declared on Thursday that Hindi films will not be screened in Nepal’s capital until a piece of the dialogue is deleted. Mayor Shah has set a three-day deadline for the adjustments to be implemented.
“Until the line ‘Janaki is a daughter of India’ contained in the South Indian film ‘Adipurush’ is removed not just in Nepal but also in India, no Hindi films will be allowed to run in Kathmandu Metropolitan City,” Shah wrote on his Facebook wall.
The film has a massive budget of Rs 500 crore. The film grossed Rs 12 crore after advance bookings began on Sunday. PVR, the national theater chain, sold over one lakh tickets in the Hindi market alone, and trade analysts anticipate a massive opening at ticket counters across the country.

In response to the Ramayan madness among Indians, cinema trade expert Taran Adarsh stated, “The most significant thing for me is not Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, or Saif Ali Khan. It is Ramayan for me, and it is a really strong emotion. “Everything else is secondary,” he says, while admitting that many Indians who saw the film will identify with his feelings.” According to new reports, the first day collection could be much higher, possibly surpassing Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan.
