Om Raut’s highly anticipated mythological epic film Adipurush was released in theaters on June 16. The film, starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan, had a strong opening day at the box office, grossing Rs 140 crore globally. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, it earned Rs 65 crore on day two of release in India across all languages. Adipurush is also doing well at the Hindi box office, earning Rs 37 crore in two days. Adipurush’s second-day earnings in Telugu states hit Rs 26 crore.
Since its release, Adipurush has received a great deal of criticism and mocking, mainly for its visual effects and dialogue. A demonstration was staged in Chhattisgarh’s Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur district, demanding a national ban on the film’s screening. However, despite the mixed reviews, the movie has still performed well at the box office. According to T-Series, the film made a gross worldwide total of Rs 100 crore on day two, taking its two day haul to Rs 240 crore globally. This is slightly ahead of Pathaan’s Rs 219 crore two-day gross.
Adipurush’s opening day gross worldwide box office collection ranks fourth. The top three films are RRR (Rs 222 crores), Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Rs 214 crores), and KGF: Chapter 2 (Rs 164.5 crores).
Prabhas plays Raghava, Kriti Sanon plays Janaki, and Saif Ali Khan plays Ravana in the film, which is based on the epic Ramayana. The film has a stated budget of Rs 500 crore and features big roles for Sunny Singh and Devdatta Nage.
