Adipurush box office collection day 9: Prabhas’ film finally sees a slight uptick in its collection, manages to earn Rs 5.63 crores on Saturday

The Saturday figures are not extremely impressive given that the film had a humungous opening at the box office. And since the reported budget of the film was Rs 500 crore, a single-digit figure for a Saturday is not much to celebrate. As per T-Series, the film collected an impressive Rs 340 crore worldwide gross in just three days. They claimed the global opening figures to be Rs 140 crore.  

The film generated a lot of buzz before its release, but it received negative reviews on its opening day, leading to a significant decline in box office performance. The makers tried to address the issue by changing controversial dialogues and even reducing ticket prices to Rs 150 for two days, but it didn’t have a major impact on the footfalls at the cinema halls. 

The Indian Express’ Shubhra Gupta gave the film 1.5 stars. A part of the review read, “This version of the Ramayan is not interested in connecting with the feeling of genuine religiosity that any reading of the ‘granth’ arouses, whether it is the most popular Tulsidas version or the Valmiki version.”
