13th June 2023, Mumbai: Adipurush, the highly anticipated film starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan and directed by Om Raut, is creating a stir ahead of its release on June 16, 2023. With the film’s advance bookings already indicating a strong start at the box office, expectations are soaring among movie enthusiasts.
The worldwide theatrical release of Adipurush is set for June 16, 2023, and fans are eagerly waiting to witness this ambitious adaptation of the epic Ramayana. In the national chains alone, the Hindi version of Adipurush has already sold approximately 1.13 lakh tickets for the opening weekend, with a remarkable 62,000 tickets for the first day. When considering both national and non-national chains, the cumulative count reaches a staggering 1.5 lakh tickets. These impressive numbers suggest that the film’s Hindi version could potentially earn over Rs 20 crores in its opening. Key players in the cinema industry, PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis, are leading the way in ticket sales for Adipurush (Hindi). PVR and Inox have already secured 90,000 tickets for the opening weekend, while Cinepolis has sold around 23,000 tickets. On the opening day itself, PVR and Inox witnessed 49,000 tickets sold, with Cinepolis accounting for an additional 13,000 tickets. These figures provide encouragement for the directorial prowess of Om Raut and indicate that Adipurush is on track to surpass the 1 lakh ticket mark in national chains for the day.
Notably, the film has also seen success in all languages, with approximately 1.7 lakh tickets sold in national chains alone for the upcoming weekend. This number is expected to rise further as Hyderabad, a strong region for Prabhas, has yet to open its ticket sales. With three days still to go before the release, Adipurush’s advance bookings are poised to escalate. However, the true verdict will be determined by audience reception when the film finally hits theaters. Adipurush’s production budget of Rs 500 crores makes it a substantial investment, and the film’s success at the box office is crucial for its financial viability. While non-theatrical revenues have contributed to solid recoveries, the ultimate profitability of Adipurush will depend heavily on its theatrical performance. Fortunately, the film faces minimal competition over the next eight weeks from both Hollywood and Bollywood releases. Should Adipurush find acceptance among viewers, the Indian Film Industry can expect a significant hit.
Moviegoers can secure their seats for Adipurush by booking tickets online or offline. The film will be available in theaters near you starting June 16, 2023. As the excitement continues to build, the question remains: what are your expectations from Adipurush? Prepare to embark on an epic cinematic journey that promises to captivate audiences nationwide.
