SS Rajamouli's magnum opus RRR has been breaking records at the box office since its release worldwide on March 25. The big-budget spectacle drama starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR has maintained its strong grip over the ticket window against new releases like John Abraham's Attack. The epic period action drama film has till Monday earned Rs 900 crore (worldwide gross) at the box office surpassing Aamir Khan's 'PK' and Rajinikanth's '2.0's lifetime collection. It has become only the fifth Indian film ever to do so.
However, a report in Box Office India talking about the collections of RRR (Hindi) has indicated its first major fall. "RRR (Hindi) saw its first major drop in first major drop in its run as it collected 7 crore nett apprx on its second Monday. The collections remain good but normally you expect a 25-30% drop on the second Monday for an established well appreciated film. The drop here is around 45%," it read.
"The collections of the film after eleven days are 190 crore nett and it will cross Sooryavanshi today (Tuesday) and reach the 200 crore nett mark on Wednesday," it further stated.
