Adipurush may well go down in box-office history as an opportunity gone down the drain. Given the phenomenal advance booking and, therefore, a fantastic opening, the film was touted to be a blockbuster. But it will turn out to be a losing proposal! It netted Rs. 32 crore on the first day. After the poor reports, collections dropped to Rs. 30.50 crore on Saturday. The total for Sunday was Rs. 28.50 crore. After a weekend total of Rs. 91 crore, collections for the weekdays were pathetic because the drop was huge: Monday – Rs. 9.75 crore, Tuesday – Rs. 5.50 crore, Wednesday – Rs. 3.50 crore, Thursday – Rs. 2 crore. In this way, the total for the weekdays was Rs. 20.75 crore. Hence the first week closed at Rs. 111.75 crore. The Telugu (dubbed) version also fared miserably after a flying start because of Prabhas’ presence in the cast. The Tamil dubbed and Malayalam dubbed versions bombed miserably while the Kannada dubbed version did very ordinary business. The combined loss of the producers and the Telugu version’s distributors could be in the region of Rs. 125-135 crore.
