Despite getting negative reviews and response from everyone, the much awaited film, Prabhas and Om Raut’s Adipurush got good openings at the box office. However, the film’s Telugu Version collections in Overseas are very disappointing. The film’s Telugu version’s performance is poor at the overseas. The film just collected $1.19M on opening day including premiers, which is lesser number than many regular big movies, which is very surprising.

Even on Saturday also the Hindi version has dominated the Telugu version. Adipurush’s Telugu version likely to be in the range of 350K on day 2. According to the trend, Telugu version might close under 2.25M in North America, which is a very disappointing number considering the budget and the film being based on Ramayan Epic. The same goes with the other overseas countries.

In the UK, the numbers of Adipurush are very ordinary. In Australia also, the Hindi version is dominating Telugu. The Telugu version’s numbers will be in the same range of regular big movies and in other countries also the Telugu numbers are very ordinary. Truly, the box office performance of Adipurush has disappointed everyone.

Adipurush is produced on a massive scale by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Om Raut, Prasad Sutar and Rajesh Nair of Retrophiles. People Media Factory brought the movie to the Telugu audience.

Directed by Om Raut, ‘Adipurush’ stars Prabhas as Lord Ram/Raghav, Kriti Sanon as Janaki, and Saif Ali Khan as Raavan/Lankesh, Sunny Singh as Lakshman/Sesh and Deva Dutta Nage as Lord Hanuman/Bajrang. Ajay – Atul, and Sachet Parampara are the music directors for this movie.

If we observe the pre-release promotions of Adipurush team and their statements, the team said they are making Ramayan before release and never mentioned it was just an inspiration. They said they have immense respect and love for Lord Ram. They even went to temples of Shri Ram as well.

During the promotional events they mentioned a lot about Ramayan and they also gave emotional statements like leaving a seat for Hanuman in the theaters. Director Om Raut even cried at the Pre Release Event of when he said about the Hanuman’s seat to everyone. However, the film team has changed their words after the release of Adipurush and they are saying it is just an inspiration of Ramayan.

After the release of the film, the writer of Adipurush directly said in an interview who said the film is not Ramayan and they have just inspired by Ramayan and made the film. This is just unbelievable and the netizens are strongly opposing the double mouthed statements from Adipurush ‘s team. The audience is angry with the whole team of Adipurush that they have used Ramayan as a marketing tool for their film.

The audience trolled and criticized the scenes of Adipurush. The character sketches and some dialogues which seemed to be inappropriate for the genre were also got criticized. The film’s writer, Manoj Muntashir, surprised everyone by saying that Adipurush is not Ramayan but they have made the film by getting inspired by it.

Manoj Muntashir stated that the team of Adipurush was clear from the start that they have made Ramayan, but they got heavily inspired by the epic. He further said that they have not made Sampoorn Ramayan and they just took the Yuddh Kaand (war sequence) part from it.

The fake and bloated numbers of RRR in the Telugu states are exposed again

0

Whenever a Telugu big movie is released, there will always be a comparison between that big movie and RRR. It is very well known to everyone that RRR still holds the day 1 records in many areas in the Telugu States. The trade circles are still in shock how come RRR’s opening day number in Nizam was more than 23 Crores share as the latest biggie Adipurush has also been released in a record number of Centers in Nizam but it stood far away from the number of RRR.

Prabhas’s Adipurush opening day share of Nizam is 13.68 Crores including GST, which makes an around 10 Crores share difference between Adipurush and RRR. This has shocked the trade circles and even the audience as they are saying that there is no chance of 10 Crores share in difference for RRR.

Except NTR and Ram Charan fans are now’ trolling RRR movie’s collections, and they strongly believe that the film’s numbers are bloated in Nizam region and for that matter, not only in Nizam but they think the other areas nos of RRR also bloated and fake.

In reality, trade experts know that inflated numbers have been reported in many territories, and many buyers have suffered significant losses. Dil Raju, the Nizam distributor of RRR, himself stated in an interview that the film’s box office collections are determined by the production company rather than the distributors, and the actual numbers are lower than reported.
