Adipurush Box Office Report: Prabhas’ Film Witnesses Significant Weekday Drop, Accumulates Rs. 315 Crores Globally in Opening Week

A lot has been said about the film Adipurush and its journey so far at the Box Office. If you look at the film, it ended its first week with a downward trend, but the drop was less than 30% this time. The Prabhas-starrer collected ₹7 crores on Thursday, bringing its first-week collections at the Indian box office to ₹269 crores. The first-week total is not bad, but the trend is worrying. In fact, it could end up being the worst box office trend for a major film in the Hindi belt. The lack of significant competition in the second week could allow the film to retain a substantial number of screenings and possibly gather some additional collections. 

However, if there had been a major release this week, Adipurush would have been quickly replaced and forced to end its theatrical run at most cinemas within just one week. The Telugu version of Adipurush has performed relatively better than the Hindi version. This could be due to the fact that Prabhas is a bigger star in the Telugu region, and the Ramayana factor was not as important to Telugu audiences. In contrast, the Hindi-speaking audience was more interested in the film’s portrayal of Ramayana, and they were disappointed with the film’s interpretation.

The box office collections of Adipurush at the Indian box office are as follows:

Friday: ₹86 crores

Saturday: ₹66.50 crores

Sunday: ₹68 crores

Monday: ₹19.50 crores

Tuesday: ₹13.25 crores

Wednesday: ₹8.75 crores

Thursday: ₹7 crores

Total: ₹269 crores

n the Telugu states, the trend of Adipurush is not too different from Saaho, another film starring Prabhas that received a mixed reception. The collections on the last three weekdays in the Telugu states mirrored those of Saaho, while in the Hindi belt, Adipurush has simply crashed. On Thursday, the film’s collection was only 30% of Saaho’s. This suggests that the backlash from the religious crowd on Ramayana’s portrayal was a major factor in the film’s poor performance in the Hindi belt.
