Will Adipurush do Rs 80-cr business on day one?

Mumbai/New Delhi: Prabhas-starrer ‘Adipurush’, a retelling of the epic Ramayana, is eying a bumper opening at the box office with trade experts predicting the film could do a business of more than Rs 80 crore on its opening day and comparing its pre-release buzz to ‘Pathaan’.

The big-budget multilingual film, reportedly made on a budget of Rs 500 crore, will release in 3D across the globe this Friday. T-Series, the banner behind the Om Raut-directed movie, opened the film's advance booking on Sunday and theatre owners said the response has been beyond expectations. ‘Adipurush’ also stars Kriti Sanon, Sunny Singh, Devdatta Nage, and Saif Ali Khan. Gautam Dutta, PVR INOX Limited co-CEO, said they have already crossed ‘over 3 lakh bookings for the 1st weekend’.
