'Adipurush' has also been subjected to several external factors, where for the time being, the Hindi collections are doing good in the market. 'Adipurush' is touted to be Prabha's fourth film to enter Rs 100 crores in Hindi after 'Baahubali', 'Baahubali 2', and 'Saaho.' His upcoming film 'Salaar' is also expected to cross the Rs 100 crore mark in Hindi.
'Adipurush' aims to collect around Rs 275 crore at the box office worldwide in its first weekend. The numbers look massive but the film's trend might help the makers to retrieve their Rs 500 crore budget mark.
'Adipurush' is based on Valmiki's mythological epic 'Ramayana', where the makers have given it a modern touch. With cringe dialogues and shoddy VFX, audiences have also criticized the makers for foretelling some facts in the wrong manner which goes against the culture of Hinduism.
