Adipurush, an epic adventure film, features Prabhas as Raghav (based on Ram), Kriti Sanon as Janaki (based on Sita), and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh (based on Ravana). Produced by T-Series and UV Creations, the movie was released on June 16 in multiple languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Tamil.
Highest worldwide opening for a pan-Indian film
On its opening day, Adipurush grossed ₹140 crores worldwide, and the following day it added another ₹100 crores to its global earnings, resulting in a two-day collection of ₹240 crores. This achievement surpassed the previous record set by Pathaan. This pan-India film earned ₹219 crore during its initial two days of release in January.
Third biggest Hindi opening
In the domestic market, the Hindi version of Adipurush had an opening of ₹37.25 crore, securing the third-highest box office opening for a pan-India film. It follows Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan (₹57 crores) and Yash-starrer KGF: Chapter 2 (₹54 crores). Adipurush surpassed the opening-day collection of Ayan Mukerji’s supernatural drama Brahmastra (₹36 crores), featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Amitabh Bachchan.
Biggest drop on Monday
Following the initial momentum and the rush of advance bookings, Adipurush has experienced a significant decline in its box office performance, particularly on Monday, due to predominantly negative word-of-mouth. This downfall is notably significant considering the post-pandemic phase of moviegoing. The film’s domestic earnings across all languages have now reached only ₹20 crores, in contrast to the ₹86 crores, ₹65 crores, and ₹69 crores it earned on the first Friday, Saturday, and Sunday respectively.
