Adipurush box office collection Day 13: Prabhas-starrer rejected by audience, earns only Rs 97 lakh on Wednesday

Adipurush, also starring Saif Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon, has been controversial for its dialogues, written by Manoj Muntashir, and even though the producers revised some of the objectionable material in the film, the audience was quite unforgiving of their mistakes. The makers also reduced the ticket prices for a few of the weekdays but even that did not help the film’s collections pick up.

After almost a two-week uncontested run in the theatres, Adipurush will be competing against Satyaprem Ki Katha, starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani in lead roles. It seems unlikely that Adipurush will be able to stay in theatres for much longer, given its negligible box office collections and the growing competition.

Made at a reported budget of Rs 500 crore, Adipurush was hyped as the next big blockbuster of 2023. It is now the second-biggest grosser of the year, after the Shah Rukh Khan film Pathaan, followed by The Kerala Story and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. As per Bollywood Hungama, Pathaan’s lifetime nett domestic collection stands at Rs 543.05 crore. The Kerala Story and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar stand at Rs 242.20 crore and Rs 149.05 crore, respectively.
