Adipurush Generates Massive Advance Bookings, Set to Create Box Office Records

The highly anticipated film Adipurush, directed by Om Raut and produced by Bhushan Kumar, is set to hit theatres in just three days, and the excitement among fans is reaching unprecedented levels. The film, which is an adaptation of the epic Ramayana, features a stellar cast including Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan in lead roles. As the release date draws near, Adipurush has already received a U certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and has a runtime of 2 hours and 59 minutes.

The advance ticket sales for the Hindi version of Adipurush have been nothing short of remarkable. Popular theatre chains such as PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis have reported approximately 62,000 tickets sold for the opening day alone. The film has sold around 1.13 lakh tickets for the weekend, indicating a strong booking. Adipurush aims to reach a total of 2.5 lakh tickets by Thursday night, making it one of the highest advances for a Hindi film.

Notably, Adipurush’s tickets in all languages have already crossed 1 Lakh in bookings. PVR and INOX recently announced that the film has sold 1 lakh tickets at their screening facilities across India, further fueling the craze for the movie. With such tremendous pre-release buzz, Adipurush is all set to make a significant impact at the box office.

In comparison to other highly anticipated films like Pathaan, KGF 2, and Brahmastra, Adipurush has shown better momentum in terms of bookings, particularly in the Hindi market. If the film maintains its pace in on-the-spot bookings on the day of release, it is expected to achieve an opening collection of around Rs 25 to 30 crore in Hindi, a remarkable feat for a non-holiday release. The long-term success of Adipurush will depend on positive word of mouth from the audience.

Although Adipurush has not included the South Indian market in its bookings due to its release in local languages as well, it has still managed to surpass the overall bookings of many big Bollywood films in the post-pandemic era, with the exception of Pathaan and KGF 2. As a universal story like the Ramayana, Adipurush has the potential to enter the top 10 list of all-time highest-grossing films, provided it delivers on the content front and receives strong word of mouth.

With its grand scale and gripping trailer, Adipurush has already captivated audiences and is poised to create box office records when it releases in just three days.
