Although well before its release the film “Adipurush” based on the retelling of the revered Hindu epic Ramayana courted fierce controversy with a right wing outfit having lodged a PIL in Delhi High Court, the film directed by Om Raut has minted Rs 340 crore at the global box office in just three days since its release. This is what the makers of this film claimed. As per the claim made by the production banner T-Series, the movie has minted Rs 100 crore globally on the third day of its release.

The film features Prabhas as Raghav (Ram), Kriti Sanon as Janaki (Sita) and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh (Raavan).

As the multilingual 3D spectacle has sparked a fierce debate marred by some violent incidents and litigation, its Hindi dialogue writer Manoj Muntashir Shukla said that some of the dialogues would be revised and the amended ones would be included in the film this week.

Notably, the movie has been released in Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil aside from Hindi.
