Exclusive/ Adipurush Box Office Collection Day 1 Estimates: Prabhas’ Film Off To A Thunderous Start

Prabhas, Kriti Sanon starrer Adipurush is finally here and has seen a great start on its opening day. But can it keep up the momentum? Read to find out!

The highly-anticipated Om Raut directorial Adipurush released on June 16. The film has been in the news ever since its announcement nearly three years ago. The buzz only intensified after the official trailer release in May. The Prabhas-starrer Adipurush comes after Saaho (2019) and Radhe Shyam (2022) didn't live up to expectations. In spite of the mixed response to Prabhas’ previous films, Adipurush is expected to open to a terrific response at the box office, as per early estimates

Om Raut’s mythological venture Adipurush is a 21st century retelling of the epic Ramayana.

It features Prabhas as Raghava, Kriti Sanon as Janaki and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh. 

The cast also includes Devdatta Nage as Bajrang and Sunny Singh as Shesh, among others. 

Adipurush opens big in Hindi

Republic Digital spoke with trade analysts regarding the early estimates of the opening day collections. Their estimates are almost in the same range regarding Hindi market collections, with slight differences. While film trade analyst Sumit Kadel puts it at ₹40 cr, tracker Ramesh Bala expects Hindi collections to be in the range of ₹40 to 45 cr. Manobala Vijayabalan quotes a slightly lower range at ₹30 cr plus. Exhibitor Akshaye Rathi feels that the collection from Hindi market alone will be ₹30 cr. “The all India net collection is expected to be around ₹80 cr across languages. Out of this, ₹30 cr is expected from Hindi alone,” says Rathi told Republic Digital's Roktim Rajpal. 

Film’s Telugu version to score big

Trade analysts were also asked about Adipurush's Day 1 opening day estimates of the film's Telugu version. Here too, their opinions varied, with Manobala Vijayabalan quoting a gross figure of ₹40 cr plus for the Telugu version, and Ramesh Bala quoting ₹40 cr to be the net collection on the first day. Additionally, Bala also told Republic Digital's Mugdha Kapoor that the opening day estimates for the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka would be around ₹10 cr. 

Exhibitor Akshaye Rathi further confirmed that apart from the Hindi market, Adipurush’s collections will also come “from other markets, especially Telugu”. He quoted the non-Hindi market collection of Adipurush to mint around ₹50 cr in total on the opening day. “For Adipurush, it would not be right to talk only about the Hindi collections. Its collections will also come from other markets, especially Telugu. The all-India net collection is expected to be around ₹80 cr across languages. Out of this, ₹30 cr is expected from Hindi alone,” said Rathi.

How Adipurush will fare on an all-India level?

In this case too, there appears to be a difference in opinions among trade analysts. Sumit Kadel puts the numbers at ₹80 to 100 cr while Ramesh Bala quotes a slightly higher figure between ₹90 to 100 cr. However,  Manobala Vijayabalan differs quite a bit on this count as he puts the “very early estimate” for nett India collections at ₹75 cr.  On the other hand, exhibitor Akshaye Rathi opines, “The all-India nett collection is expected to be around ₹80 cr across languages.”

Prabhas to score third Rs 100 crore opener?

There has been much speculation regarding how the Prabhas-starrer will fare at the box office and whether his superstar image will particularly augment the film’s success. According to Manobala Vijayabalan, though the word of mouth about the film is “not that good” right now, it is estimated to collect ₹100 cr plus around the world. “Although word of mouth is not that good, film is looking solid to post a total of ₹100 plus cr from around the world”, says the analyst. 

It is worth noting that Baahubali 2 and Saaho had previously collected ₹100 cr globally on the first day. Meanwhile, the advance booking for the first weekend looks promising. This suggests that Adipurush is set to have a good Saturday and Sunday. The real test, however, starts on Monday. Will it pass the test? Only time will tell.

The Quiet Moments, The Shared Whispers

The air crackled with anticipation. The stage lights, blindingly bright, cast long, dramatic shadows on the expectant faces in the crowd. Tonight was the night: the annual Indian Film Awards. And in the VIP section, nestled between a bevy of Bollywood stars and industry giants, sat Mahi, holding her husband Prabhas' hand.

Mahi, a quiet, unassuming woman, was the opposite of the glitz and glamour that surrounded them. Yet, Prabhas, with his twinkling eyes and endearing smile, made her feel like the most beautiful woman in the room.

He leaned in, his voice a warm whisper against her ear. 'Nervous?'

Mahi shook her head, a smile curving her lips. 'Just excited for you.'

Prabhas' movie had been nominated for Best Film, and he himself was a contender for Best Actor. His nerves, however, were masked by a charmingly disarming air of confidence mixed with a generous dose of playful excitement.

The awards ceremony unfolded, a whirlwind of dazzling performances, witty speeches, and thunderous applause. When Prabhas' name was announced for Best Actor, his smile widened, radiating pure joy. He beamed at Mahi, his eyes sparkling.

Later, during the after-party, Prabhas was surrounded by well-wishers. Mahi watched him, a warm glow filling her heart. As the party reached its peak, Prabhas found his way back to her side. He held her close, drawing her attention to the twinkling lights reflected in her eyes.

'It's a beautiful night, isn't it?' he whispered, his hand gently stroking her hair.

Mahi nodded, a soft laugh escaping her lips. 'It is.'

He looked at her, his eyes sincere. 'I don't know what I'd do without you. You're my rock, my calm in the storm.'

Mahi blushed, her own love for him overflowing. His success filled her with an immense pride, but it was the man behind the fame who stole her heart.

As the night finally wound down, Prabhas held her hand, leading her out of the bustling party. The city lights twinkled outside, painting the night sky in a million shades. Prabhas looked at Mahi, his eyes filled with adoration.

'I love you, Mahi,' he said softly, his voice a gentle caress against the night air.

'I love you too, Prabhas,' she replied, her voice filled with warmth and affection.

Under the shimmering city lights, their quiet love story unfolded, a testament to the simple joy of finding your forever in the most unexpected places. For Mahi, the most beautiful moments weren't the flashing lights and grand stages, but the quiet moments, the shared whispers, the simple love that bound them together. And in those moments, she knew she was truly home.

Salaar: A Global Launchpad for Prabhas? Deconstructing the Hype and Reality

Prabhas, the towering figure of Indian cinema, stands poised on the brink of global stardom. And "Salaar," the action-packed epic helmed by the visionary Prashanth Neel, promises to be the catapult that launches him beyond regional borders. But will it crack the seemingly impenetrable code of international acceptance? Buckle up, as we dissect the hype, analyze the film's potential, and answer the burning question: Is Salaar Prabhas's ticket to the global arena?  This blog post will delve into the Salaar Review

Prabhas: The Untapped Colossus:

Prabhas's charisma and screen presence are undeniable. He's carved a niche as the action hero par excellence, his chiselled physique and powerful performances resonating with Indian audiences. However, international recognition remains elusive. "Saaho," despite its ambitious attempts, fell short of carving a global footprint.

Neel: The Architect of Blockbuster Spectacles:

Enter Prashanth Neel, the director who turned KGF into a box office behemoth. Neel's mastery of high-octane action and gritty storytelling resonated with audiences worldwide, proving that Indian cinema could conquer international hearts. Now, he teams up with Prabhas, raising the question: can their combined forces breach the global barrier?

Salaar: A Tale of Blood, Bullets, and Brotherhood:

The film promises a story steeped in vengeance and betrayal, with Prabhas as Deva, a man consumed by a quest for retribution. The action sequences are touted as Neel's most ambitious yet, promising bone-crunching brutality and balletic violence. Shruti Haasan adds complexity as Aadhya, a character shrouded in mystery, while the supporting cast boasts international names like Mads Mikkelsen, further amplifying the global appeal.

Challenges on the Road to Global Acclaim:

Beyond the spectacle, Salaar faces hurdles. The revenge narrative, while potent, might feel familiar to a global audience accustomed to Hollywood's action tropes. The cultural nuances, while intriguing, could pose a challenge for non-Indian viewers. And marketing the film to a diverse audience requires a well-crafted strategy that goes beyond just action sequences and star power.

Winds of Possibility:

Despite the challenges, Salaar boasts several advantages. Neel's international acclaim opens doors, Prabhas's fan base across the globe provides a dedicated audience, and the film's technical brilliance can transcend cultural barriers. Additionally, the growing prominence of Indian cinema and the increasing appetite for diverse stories offer fertile ground for Salaar's success.

Conclusion  of Salaar Movie Review

Salaar has the potential to be Prabhas's global launchpad. It boasts an action-packed narrative, Neel's masterful direction, and Prabhas's undeniable screen presence. However, its success hinges on overcoming cultural barriers, crafting a nuanced narrative beyond action tropes, and executing a strategic global marketing campaign. Ultimately, Salaar is a high-stakes gamble, a potential game-changer for Indian cinema and Prabhas's career. Only time will tell if it ignites the international box office or flickers out in the face of cultural hurdles.

The Bromantic Duo's Return As Daredevils In BADE MIYAN CHOTE MIYAN!

Witness the resurgence of the “Big Master” and “Little Master”. This time it’s not Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda but the “action hero” duo of the “Khiladi” Akshay Kumar and the “Baaghi” Tiger Shroff! The daring duo of Akshay and Tiger refurbish the popular Bade Miyan as “Freddy” and Chote Miyan as “Rocky” to take on a mysterious masked scientist (Prithviraj Sukumaran) who intends to destroy India with his artificial intelligence-based hi-tech weapons. Will Freddy and Rocky be successful in foiling his evil plan? Wait and watch! This time Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff team up as Bade Miyan Chote Miyan! https://youtu.be/ovK-9hXK0z8?si=QI_1ey1Vl6fpYuty Writer, producer, and director Ali Abbas Zafar brings back the famous duo of Bade Miyan and Chote Miyan to the Bollywood big screens in action-packed avatars. Not the comical duo of the 90s whom you may remember! Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2024) Official Trailer: https://youtu.be/IGzLHNPO4QI?si=Gd_E118Q0OsRSKyK The Good: Since the teaser of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was released, it was evident that the masked antagonist is South’s award-winning actor Prithviraj Sukumaran. So, there’s no spoiler over here! This violent action-thriller is not about who the masked man is but about how Freddy and Rocky will overpower him and his evil intentions. The screenplay is a visual extravaganza of raw action! The action choreography is heavy-hitting with murderous gunfights, blood-boiling fistfights, and eardrum-cracking bomb blasts that will blow up your mind! You will witness jaw-dropping stunts involving horses, cars, and bike chases. There are intense aerial stunts involving planes and helicopters, and ground warfare involving battle tanks!

I have to say, after watching Akshay as Bade Miyan and Tiger as Chote Miyan, the image of the comical duo of Amitabh and Govinda that I had in my mind has been completely erased! The image of Bade Miyan and Chote Miyan in my mind has now revived to that of two brave Indian soldiers who are ready to go up to any extent to save India. What a character transformation Ali Abbas Zafar has come up with! I must say, Akshay and Tiger do make a courageous bromantic duo. Both these actors are fearless and are well known for performing dangerous stunts on sets all by themselves. So, there can be no better team than these two when it comes to high-octane action!

He has created a revolution in South Indian cinema. His recent movie “Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire” where he starred as the antagonist opposite “Rebel star” Prabhas was a Box Office hit. With his masked madman character, I am sure, he as the antagonist in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan will rock the Box Office once again! The lead female cast includes Manushi Chhillar and Alaya Furniturewala and both actresses have significant roles as they pair up with the audacious duo of Freddy and Rocky. Some of the tracks are bouncy and will make you tap your feet with their rhythmic beats. Check out Akshay and Tiger in the track “Mast Malang Jhoom” where they pair up with Sonakshi Sinha in a special appearance. The romantic track “Rang Ishq Ka” by singer Vishal Mishra is melodious. And not to forget the remastered Title Track. You surely wouldn’t want to miss this one! The track “Mast Malang Jhoom” featuring Akshay and Tiger with Sonakshi in a special appearance https://youtu.be/QoXwBD44O4E?si=JdQCtjP_V_fO4wta The Bad: A disappointing aspect is the story. It’s highly predictable and is not anything new. I have watched dozens of Bollywood movies that showcase the same plot, the villain trying to harm our country and braveheart heroes battling him to save the day! I would have appreciated it if Ali Abbas Zafar had come up with something new, a new suspenseful story that would have left us wondering till the end. Moreover, the TRP of this action film is so high that way before its release it was revealed who the antagonist is going to be. So, this spoils the thrill to a great extent. The Verdict: Mind it, this is no remake or sequel of the 1998 Bollywood movie by the same name. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2024) is a combo of violence and heroism. “Dil Se Soldier, Dimaag Se Shaitaan Hain Hum. Bachke Rehna Humse, Hindustaan Hain Hum!” translated as “By heart we are soldiers but by mind, we are the Devil. Beware of us, we are India!” The dialogues are fiery just like the action! If you are fond of action heroes demolishing supervillains to save the day, then this is just the movie for you. Although the plot disappoints in thrill to some extent, I am sure you wouldn’t want to miss out on the fierce action that Akshay and Tiger perform! So, what are you waiting for? It’s time you booked your theater tickets to witness the comeback of Bade Miyan and Chote Miyan in their lethal avatars. Trust me, it's entertainment guaranteed! Check Out Akshay and Tiger as they pair up with Manushi and Alaya in the romantic track "Wallah Habibi"! https://youtu.be/3K7x7Vp_eDk?si=LBJpYF68vBGuEx5O Read the full article
