Adipurush recorded a very strong first weekend with collections over 100 crore nett at around 105 crore nett but the business on Sunday did not push up. There is a huge issue of the presentation and correctness of the film as far as Ramayana goes and this is probably affecting the collections in mass areas where its a conservative audience and anything different from perceived notions is not taken too well.. 

There was no growth on Saturday but that is fine but Sunday should have done better but the mass circuits were just 10-15% up on Saturday and recovering to day one levels while the bigger circuits were flat or minor falls. The Sunday number does make it harder for the film over the weekdays but the huge plus is the numbers it has put up already. 

The weekend is far above expectations and all circuits have done well. The Gujarat and Rajasthan areas have been affected by this Biparjoy cyclone with the former on Friday and the latter on Saturday but Gujarat made ground on Saturday and Rajasthan should have done same on Sunday.  

The Hindi belt is seeing huge negativity for the film and that is reflected in teh collections on Sunday with mass areas not up to the mark so its pretty ceratin a fall is coming on Monday and the level of the fall remains to be seen. The Nizam / Andhra pocket has done very well and even the Hindi version saw growth on Sunday in that region. The region will see weekend collections in the 75-80 crore nett range which is probably second to RRR only post the pandemic and better than Pushpa. The backlash to film seems less here as against the Hindi areas going by the trend in collections.

Irrespective of all that its a huge weekend for exhibitors across the country as Adipurush will have a 190 crore nett plus total over the weekend  but if the Hindi version could have even put up growth of 10-15% on Sunday it would give more confidence for the days to come.The three day collections of the film are as follows.

Friday - 35,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 35,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 35,00,00,000 apprx

Total - 1,05,00,00,000 apprx
