Adipurush is the latest release for Baahubali fame actor Prabhu, helmed by director Om Raut. The film is based on the Hindu mythological epic Ramayana. The production house bankrolling the film T Series and Retrophiles have shared opening day box office collection reports. The makers have shared a special poster saying the film has collected a whooping Rs.140 crores in the global box officer collection on day one. They have called it a “Divine Victory”. But, they have not revealed the net collection in India yet.

Prabhas' Adipurush was shot with motion capture technology and involved VFX on a massive scale. It's an hatrick for the Pan-India actor as all the recent three films have grossed Rs.100 crores on the opening day including Baahubali 2 and Saaho. The film was also released in multiple languages including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada and has Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan in important roles. The adaptation of the epic of Ramayan was also released in 3D format for the audience to enjoy. It is expected to gross more box officer records in the coming days
The film Adipurush has also faced some backlash on social media for the poor quality of VFX though it was made on a massive budget of nearly Rs.500 crores. The makers of the film also announced that a seat in the theatres screening the film based on Ramayana will be left vacant as it's believed Hanuman will be there at any place where Lord Ram is present. The film is produced by T Series in collaboration with Retrophiles. Prabhas' recent film is expected to break record over the opening week end.
