    Adipurush row: Nepal still bans Prabhas-Kriti Sanon starrer

    Prabhas, Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan starrer Adipurush is the talk of the town. The movie has been one of the most highly anticipated films of the year. But it has been courting controversies big time. Adipurush has been banned in Nepal. The mayor has refused to screen the movie since there is a dialogue which he feels is disrespectful towards their country. Later, the court in Nepal ordered to lift the ban on Hindi films. And now, Nepal has resumed the screening of Hindi films but not Adipurush. Also Read – Adipurush failure: What Prabhas, filmmakers and the Indian film industry can learn from the controversy

    Nepal resumes screening of Hindi films but not Adipurush

    Entertainment News has been full of updates on Adipurush. Before the film was released, the movie was banned in Nepal because the movie featured dialogue of Sita being the daughter of India. It is said that Sita was born in Janakpur in Nepal. And hence, it does not sit right with the mayor of Nepal who stopped the screening of films. While the Nepal court ordered to lift of the ban on films, the mayor revealed that the Om Raut-directed movie Adipurush still won’t be screened in Nepal.

    Ban of Hindi films; Mayor’s statements

    The Nepal Motion Picture Association put out a statement saying that all foreign films will be screened but not Adipurush. The dialogue of Sita being the daughter of India has led to the ban. Kathmandu Mayor Balendra Shah is determined to not screen the movie and he is also ready to face the consequence of the same. Talking about the lift of the ban, QFX Cinema which is located in Sundhara in Nepal screened Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan starrer Zara Hatke Zara Bachke on Friday.

    On the court order to lift the ban, the Nepal bench said that it is their belief that no one is above the nation and nationality. It is their fundamental right to engage in business freely abiding by Nepalese law. Nepal court states that a film passed by the censor board cannot be banned as it has already been certified by a bench.

    Meanwhile, Adipurush’s business has been dropping a lot. Since Monday, the film has been losing its business and even the masterstroke of slashing the ticket prices did not work in their favour. Om Raut and Manoj Muntashir have been provided security by the police owing to the threats to their life.

    Adipurush: Prabhas was unwilling to play Lord Ram; Here’s how Om Raut convinced him | Bollywood Life

    Adipurush was finally released on 16th June after a long wait and humongous hype. The mythological drama managed to mint Rs 340 crore worldwide on its opening weekend despite being heavily trolled. The movie faced backlash over the poor portrayal of characters, dialogues, and visual effects. Prabhas who plays Lord Ram in the movie was initially unwilling to be a part of the movie. However, director Om Raut convinced him and brought him on board. Also Read – Adipurush controversy: Dipika Chikhlia turns Sita again; netizens say, ‘Aapke jesi Sita Mata…’

    In a recent interview with India Today, Om Raut revealed that when he thought of the movie he could only think of Prabhas. He later shared that it was not easy to convince him. Earlier when the filmmaker approached the Baahubali star with the script he was reluctant to play the role on the screen. The director shared the story of how he persuaded him to take up the big role. He had a telephonic conversation with Radhe Shyam actor during the pandemic. Prabhas asked what is that he wants him to play and Om Raut replied Prabhu Shri Ram.

    Om Raut told that he wants him to play Raghav in Adipurush. Prabhas questioned if he is serious and how this will happen. It was impossible for Raut to narrate the film on a Zoom call to a big star. He then got a pilot who was ready to fly him from Mumbai to Hyderabad in a day. The director specially went to Hyderabad to talk to Prabhas and when he narrated the film the actor immediately said yes. Raut revealed that Prabhas was very excited and he’s always a person who’s backed him and believed in the direction that he wanted to go in. The filmmaker further said that the actor has always been there and by the grace of God, he thinks he will be there even in the future.

The film helmed by Om Raut was jointly produced by T-Series and Retrophiles.

    Adipurush Hindi Advance Bookings: Prabhas’ epic sells 2.85 lakh tickets in national chains for opening day

    Prabhas led Adipurush, directed by Om Raut and co-starring Saif Ali Khan, Kriti Sanon and Sunny Singh is all set to release. The film has witnessed very good advance bookings for its Hindi version, purely based on the numbers and not the means by which a chunk of them have been ensured. The advance numbers have confirmed that Adipurush will become the second biggest opener of the year for its Hindi version, just behind Pathaan and on an all India and worldwide level, Adipurush will become the biggest opener of the year by an around 10-15 percent margin. The global first day takings at the box office shall be in the north of Rs 120 crores gross.

     

    Adipurush Sells 2.85 Lakh Tickets In National Chains For The Opening Day In Hindi

    The 3 national chains of India, namely PVR, Inox and Cinepolis have cumulatively sold around 2.85 lakh tickets for the opening day of Adipurush (Hindi), thus helping it secure the fourth place in the list of highest advance bookings in the national chains for the opening day, in the Hindi language, post pandemic. While Pathaan sits at the top, KGF: Chapter 2 and Brahmastra settle for the second and third spot respectively. PVR is obviously the leading national movie chain, followed by Inox and then Cinepolis. Including the ticket sales of Adipurush in Telugu, the total count of tickets sold in the national chains for the opening day go up to well over 4 lakhs. If films (Hindi language) of all time are considered, the advances of Adipurush are the 12th highest.  

     

    Following Is The List Of Indian Films That Have Sold The Highest Number Of Tickets In National Chains (Hindi Language Only)

    1. Bahubali 2: 6.50 Lakhs
    2. Pathaan: 5.56 Lakhs

    Movie Chains Like MovieMax Have Observed Very Pleasing Ticket Sales

    The pre-bookings for Adipurush (Hindi) are genuinely promising in a lot of small chains and centers but the conspicuous way the ticket purchases have happened across national chains have garnered more attention than they should have. To note, a non national chain like MovieMax has sold around 10,000 tickets for the opening day and 20,000 tickets for the weekend purely in Hindi. The Telugu version of the film has sold around 11,000 tickets in total, taking the cumulative weekend total to 31,000 tickets which is very good. MovieMax is not a high-end chain and focuses on middle class folks and for the film to sell these many tickets surely is encouraging.

    Adipurush has a lot going for itself and if the content clicks with the audience that it is targetting, it can really manage to do some excellent numbers.

    You can watch Adipurush at a theatre near you in a few hours from now.

  • Adipurush: Prabhas’ movie already makes this amount from satellite rights

    Adipurush: Prabhas’ movie already makes this amount from satellite rights

    Adipurush has seen a revival that few would have expected. When the first teaser came out in 2022, filmmaker Om Raut was trolled life right and centre. The online bashing made the makers return back to the drawing board. Now, the movie is coming on June 16, 2023 and experts are predicting Rs 100 crores at the box office in the first weekend itself. Now, it has been reported that movie has already recovered 85 per cent of its budget. Adipurush has been made on a budget of Rs 500 crores. The movie is bankrolled by T-Series and a staggering sum has been spent on the VFX of the film. Also Read – Top 6 stars in Rs 1000 crore club, will Prabhas do it again with Adipurush?

    The entertainment site Bollywood Hungama has reported that Adipurush has already recovered Rs 432 crores already. Prabhas and Kriti Sanon‘s movie has made Rs 247 crores from its non-theatrical avenues like satellite rights, music rights, digital rights and so on. The portal reported that Adipurush has made Rs 185 crores as minimum guarantee from the South. This means that producers will break even if the movie makes above Rs 100 or 120 crores at the box office. The upgraded VFX has helped the film. But what has made maximum impact is the music of Ajay-Atul. Also Read – Adipurush: How trolling over poor VFX proved to be a boon for Prabhas, Kriti Sanon film

    The songs of the movie are being liked a lot. The chant of Jai Shree Ram at the end of the trailer has given goosebumps to the audience. Prabhas has a huge fan following all over India. Trade experts feel that Adipurush will cross Rs 100 crores in the first three days only just from the Hindi belt.

The maximum number will be in North India. The songs are already massive on YouTube. Prabhas needs a big hit to redeem himself after the debacle of Radhe Shyam. The film suffered losses over Rs 100 crores. Kriti Sanon’s last movie Shehzada was also a flop at the box office.

    Adipurush makers drops Kriti Sanon’s motion poster

    On the occasion of Sita Navami, Om Raut and the production house have released the motion poster of Kriti Sanon aka Janaki of Adipurush. From the motion poster, we gather that Janaki has been abducted from the Panchavati forest. There are two looks of Kriti Sanon that have been released. The first is a full-length poster of Kriti as Janaki. She is seen modestly dressed in porcelain coloured saree and an orange dupatta on her head. The image of Prabhas as Raghava, that is Lord Ram, is seen in the silhouette in the background.

In the closer shot, they have noticed, Ram and Lakshman, going on a search for Janaki after her abduction. However, the BGM of Jai Siya Ram has struck a chord with the audience. They are hailing the promotions of Adipurush as well and feel the comeback after the controversy is quite good. Check out the tweets here:

    The teaser release of Adipurush was a big controversy as the fans slammed the VFX online. Om Raut had defended the teaser but eventually decided to retract and rework on the same. And fans are now loving every promotional idea of the makers. It seems that they will soon make the fans forget the controversy ever happened given the way they are heading with the promotions.

    Apart from Prabhas and Kriti, the film also stars Sunny Singh as Lakshman, Saif Ali Khan as Raavan and Devdatta Nage as Lord Hanuman. The music of Adipurush is given by Ajay-Atul which is hitting the right chord with the fans. T-series alongside Retrophiles are producing the ambitious project which is releasing on 16th June 2023.

  • Prabhas, Kriti Sanon-starrer ‘Adipurush’ gets a new release date

    Prabhas, Kriti Sanon-starrer ‘Adipurush’ gets a new release date

    Prabhas and Kriti Sanon-starrer retelling of the Ramayana Adipurush will now release on June 16, 2023. Adipurush director Om Raut shared an official statement saying that the team needs more time in order to “give a complete visual experience to the viewers.”

    The statement further read, “We are committed to make a film that India will be proud of. Your support, love and blessings is what keeps us going.” Adipurush will be releasing alongside movies like Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan (June 2), Ayushmann Khurrana’s Dream Girl 2 (June 23) and Kartik Aaryan’s Satya Prem ki Katha (June 29) in the same month. 

    The Prabhas-starrer was initially supposed to release on the occasion of Sankranti on January 12, 2023. Soon after the teaser of the much-awaited Prabhas film came out, netizens trolled it for sub-par VFX, visual effects and poor portrayals of important characters. Users also claimed that the 1987 serial Ramayan and the 1993 anime Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama were much more authentic depictions than Adipurush. 

    Adipurush is based on the epic Ramayana and celebrates ‘victory of good over evil.’ The cast includes Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan, Kriti Sanon, Sunny Singh and Devdatta Nage in significant roles.
