Here's how much 'Adipurush' collected on Day 1.
Om Raut's latest movie 'Adipurush' is being talked about a lot. The movie starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, Sunny Singh and Devdatta Nage released in the theatres on Friday (June 16) and it is based on the epic 'Ramayana'. The movie has been garnering negative reviews from all corners and even famous trade analyst Taran Adarsh gave the movie just 1.5 stars. The movie is being slammed for poor use of VFX and shoddy dialogues which do not go with the essence of 'Ramayana'.
However, 'Adipurush' registered a fantastic opening on Day 1 in India and the movie has collected a significant amount of money. Now, it needs to be seen how the movie performs in the coming days, since word of mouth is clearly negative.
In Hindi, 'Adipurush' collected a little more than Rs 37 crore on Day 1. As per the producers' T-Series, the movie minted Rs 140 crore worldwide.
