Prabhas Fans Debate Box Office Clash: Ramayana vs Adipurush

Following the release of "Ramayana: Rise of a Legend," fans of actor Prabhas have engaged in heated online debates comparing its box office performance to that of "Adipurush." While "Ramayana," released on November 5, 2026, reportedly had a budget of Rs 4,000 crore, its opening day collection of Rs 64.85 crore nett in India was surpassed by "Adipurush's" Rs 86.75 crore nett.

This disparity has led fans to question the correlation between production scale and opening day success. Some noted that "Adipurush," with a budget of Rs 500-700 crore, achieved a higher opening of Rs 128.08 crore worldwide gross, exceeding "Ramayana's" Rs 127.50 crore gross. Despite facing criticism for its visual effects, "Adipurush" continues to be recognized as the only non-sequel Bollywood film to secure a Rs 100 crore opening in India.
