ADIPURUSH collected under 1 crore nett on its second Tuesday which takes the film to 125 crore nett plus. The second week of the film will be a little over 12 crore nett as it takes a hit on Thursday with the release of SATYAPREM KI KATHA and many regional films.

There are solid releases this week in Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu which will end the run of ADIPURUSH not just in Hindi but in all formats. Its looking at a lifetime of 130 crore nett in Hindi and a 250 crore nett in all formats. This is less than SAAHO, whether in Hindi or outside.

The business in Mumbai should cross 40 crore nett while Delhi/UP should cross 35 crore nett. Nizam/Andhra will do 110 crore nett in all formats including the Hindi version.

The collections ADIPURUSH till date are as follows.

Friday - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 90,00,000 apprx

Second Week - 10,90,00,000 apprx (4 days)

ADIPURUSH again went down more than it should on its second Monday after a more a stable weekend. The film collected 1 crore nett on its second Monday and its a 50% drop from the second Friday when it should be around 30-35%. This takes the collections of the film to 10 crore nett in week two and 125 crore nett in overall collections.

The second week will collect around 12.50 crore nett which will be a 90% plus drop from the first week and that pretty much tells the story of the film. The final number of the film would not look too bad if the film had not opened so well. The expectations of the film rose with the initial of the film.

The film has underperformed in Mumbai and Bihar though the Ramayana factor has helped the film hugely in the North as both perform better compared to Mumbai. The film is not likely to add much from here and maybe another 8-9 crore nett,

The collections ADIPURUSH  till date are as follows.

Friday - 2,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,00,00,000 apprx

Second Week - 10,00,00,000 apprx (4 days)

ADIPURUSH collected a dull 9 crore nett over its second weekend. Despite these being poor collections, it is actually more than expected as the way it was going down over the weekdays, it looked like in the second week, having double digit collections would be hard.

Generally the circuit numbers are pretty reasonable for the first week as it got the weekend in. In Odisha, it will be among the top ten grossers ever in Hindi but that is because these Telugu actors are stars in the state and from the Hindi circuits it has always done well for the South actors in action films from the days of Rajinikanth.

----------------------------------------

ADIPURUSH has reached 237 crore nett across India and will finish up with a final total of 250 crore nett plus. The collections are going to fall below SAAHO across the board. It has been a downward spiral all over since the first Monday though the second weekend was a little respite for the film as collections did grow.

The worldwide business of the film is 325 crore plus and may just reach the 350 crore mark which is actually reasonable but if you take the first weekend then the 400 crore mark should have been a cakewalk for the film. The film has not performed in Overseas with the Telugu version not doing well in North America which was a must. The Hindi version will do near $2.5 million which is better comparatively as there is no face value for this audience. On top of it, a large chunk of the audience is Muslim who are unlikely to come.

The figures from India are as follows and the collections from the South markets do not count the Hindi version so its a like to like comparison for Hindi films. The Nizam/Andhra figure does not include Hindi and collections from Marathawada.

Hindi - 1,23,75,00,000 apprx (NOTE - First weekend was 95.58 crore)

Nizam / Andhra - 94,00,000 apprx

Karnataka - 11,50,00,000 apprx

Tamil Nadu - 4,50,00,000 apprx

Kerala - 1.25,00,000 apprx

Hindi Circuits (Telugu, Tamil) - 2,00,00,000 apprx

The Overseas and worldwide collections of the film are as follows.

India - 280 cr (237 nett)

Overseas - 45.50 cr ($5.5m) (Note - First weekend was $4.52 million)

ADIPURUSH saw a first week of 123 crore nett as collections witnessed insane falls all through weekdays with film dropping 30% or more on each day. It was no different on the last day of the week. The collections on Thursday are already more than 90% down from the first day. The mass circuits dominated by smaller multiplexes and single screens are down even more.

There were cheaper tickets available on Thursday but that does not help really help collections but admits would have been steady despite the drop in collections. The film, which looked to be heading for a comfortable 150 crore nett on Saturday, will now fall well short of the mark.

The first week collections are the second highest of 2023 but that hardly matters when the film is not going to add much more. The film has been made on a huge budget of 400 crore inclusive of everything. As it has recoveries form Hindi and South, it will get way with it from a commercial point of view. This is despite total rejection of the film everywhere though Hyderabad city can be said to better than rest.

The first week collections of the film are as follows.

Friday - 35,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 35,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 35,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 7,75,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 4,75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 3,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

------------------------------------

ADIPURUSH managed to stop the rot as the film did not see and another huge drop as it managed to collect 2 crore nett. It looked the film could have competing with ZARA HATKE ZARA BACHKE for the top collecting film this weekend the way it was going over the weekdays. But the second Friday saw a more normal trend.

This does not really matter much for the film as the battle was lost on Monday However, there should be some collections now in week two when it looked a total goner. The film has actually scored some decent totals in a couple of circuits but that is all down to the initial numbers.

The second Friday has stopped the capitulation but with such rejection for the film, it remains to be seen if the film can get some good weekend growth as a better trend on second Friday is no good if the film is unable to grow much over the weekend.

The collections ADIPURUSH till date are as follows.

Friday - 35,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 35,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 35,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 7,75,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 4,75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 3,25,00,000 apprx
