Adipurush, starring Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, and Saif Ali Khan, made its highly anticipated global debut on June 16, generating significant buzz among audiences. The film received a mixed response from critics, but it has been performing exceptionally well at the box office. It has crossed the remarkable milestone of collecting over Rs 300 crore worldwide during its opening weekend and continues to thrive in theatres. Even on Sunday, June 18, the film enjoyed substantial success at the box office. Now, on Monday, June 19, it faces the test of sustaining its strong performance during the weekdays.
According to early trade estimates, Adipurush amassed nearly Rs 64 crore domestically on Sunday, contributing to a total opening weekend collection of over Rs 300 crore. In just three days, Adipurush has earned a staggering Rs. 221 crore at the domestic box office. On Sunday, June 18, the Hindi version of the film had an occupancy rate of 61.75 percent. The film now aims to prove its mettle during the weekdays.
However, Adipurush has faced criticism for its dialogue and VFX. In response, the makers have made a decision to revamp the dialogues, as they unintentionally hurt people's sentiments.
