New Delhi: 'Adipurush', directed by Om Raut, keeps losing pace at the domestic box office. The movie's earnings dropped to Rs 7.50 crore nett on Wednesday after falling to Rs 20 crore on Monday and earning only half of that amount on Tuesday. After a strong start at the box office, it had a major drop in earnings as an outcome of social media backlash.
'Adipurush' reportedly made Rs 7.50 crore net on day six in India across all languages, according to a report on Sacnilk.com. This brings the total amount collected in India, across all languages, to Rs 255.30 crore.
The makers of the film revealed on Wednesday that Thursday and Friday moviegoers could now see the movie for just Rs 150. Taking to Instagram, T-Series shared a poster of the film and it read, "Special offer on 22nd and 23rd June. Experience the grandeur in 3D for just ₹150. Ab har Bharatiya dekhega Adipurush (Now every Indian will watch Adipurush). Families invited. With edited and changed dialogues."
The film review on ABP Live reads: One of the most crucial elements of a period drama or mythological movie is the style of speech used to set up the tone and era. The movie fails miserably in that department, to the point where even the scary and grave sequences are met with giggles. It is not on the shoulders of those watching. During a duel between Bali and Sugriv in one of the scenes, Lakshmana (Sunny Singh) points towards the latter and says, ‘Ye toh fisaddi hai’. As it appears, the word implies one's incompetence; if so, a lot of viewers are probably pointing at the screen showcasing 'Adipurush' and voicing the same thoughts (just saying).
'Adipurush' is the most recent epic Ramayana adaption that faced criticism from moviegoers for the level of its language and VFX. Some of the controversial dialogues in the movie have been altered, according to a leaked video.
