S.S. Rajamouli’s RRR is wreaking havoc at the box office. After its release was delayed because of the pandemic, the audience made sure they watched the movie in large numbers and made it a humongous success. The magnum opus is shattering all the records at the box office and will soon cross the much-coveted Rs 1000 crore mark worldwide.
RRR now holds the record of the biggest first-day opening in Indian cinema by grossing over Rs 223 crore worldwide. Rajamouli broke his record set by Baahubali: The Conclusion, which had minted Rs 217 crore worldwide on its opening day.
The Hindi version of the movie alone has grossed over Rs 200 crore and is aiming to cross over Rs 250 crore at the box office. Trade analyst and film critic, Taran Adarsh, tweeted that RRR is doing well even on weekdays. He further added that it will continue to thrive at the box office until other big films arrive on April 14.
