Adipurush, directed by Om Raut and starring Prabhas, is generating enormous anticipation as its release on June 16 approaches. The film, drawing inspiration from the epic Ramayana, has sparked comparisons and piqued the interest of audiences.
While industry insiders express concerns about its performance, experts predict that Adipurush has the potential to surpass the box office collections of Pathan.
Pathan, featuring Shah Rukh Khan, currently holds the record for the highest gross collections this year, with an impressive 1050 crores. However, projections suggest that Adipurush could easily outdo Pathan’s earnings, with an estimated business of around 550 crores.
Despite its promising business prospects, Adipurush’s budget is considered above average. For instance, Vijay’s Varisu managed to collect 300 crores, just breaking even for producer Dil Raju. On the other hand, the sensational film The Kerala Story grossed 290 crores, firmly establishing itself as a blockbuster.
Adipurush aims to break Pathan’s record, and it has the potential to make a strong start with an opening day gross of 100 crores. However, the film’s long-term success hinges on its ability to connect with the audience. A well-crafted portrayal of the story and its characters, along with impressive visual effects, will be crucial in Adipurush’s quest to set new box office records
