Adipurush to earn Rs 3 crore ahead of its release
Industry insiders estimate that the film has earned approximately Rs 3 crore before its theatrical release, through advance bookings alone, signalling a promising start. However, the amount isn’t high considering the staggering budget of the film.
Trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan shared a calculation on Adipurush’s Box Office collection on Twitter.
He wrote "#Adipurush FREE ticket approx calculation. Even if we consider a bigger figure of 1,50,000 free tickets with an average ticket price of Rs 200. It would just add Rs 3 crore to the overall gross Box Office collection.”

Even if we consider a bigger figure of 1,50,000 free tickets with an average ticket price ₹200.It would just add ₹3 cr to the overall gross Box Office collection.Hence, ₹3cr is not a big deal for a film of ₹5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ cr budget.…— Manobala Vijayabalan (@ManobalaV) June 13, 2023
According to reports, as the film has been made with a massive budget of nearly Rs 700 crore, the film will need to break several box office collection records to become profitable.
