Ram Charan, Jr NTR's period drama RRR collects over Rs 500 cr worldwide in opening weekend

SS Rajamouli’s period drama RRR has sent cash registers ringing at the box-office. The Hindi version of the film has managed to earn over Rs 74 crore in its opening weekend.

RRR has grossed over Rs 500 crore worldwide on its opening weekend, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The numbers are especially significant as the film had released on a non-holiday weekend.

RRR, which stars Jr NTR and Ram Charan in the lead, had collected over Rs 257 crore worldwide on its opening day, beating the record of Rajamouli’s previous blockbuster Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. The Hindi version of the film has emerged as the first movie to gross over Rs 30 crore in a day in the coronavirus pandemic era, according to Adarsh. This film has beaten the Sunday box-office record of Akshay Kumar’s cop drama Sooryavanshi, which had collected Rs 26.50 crore in one day last year. According to Adarsh, RRR (Hindi) has earned a total of Rs 74.50 crore since it released on 25 March. The film has collected Rs 19 crore on its opening day, followed by collections of Rs 24 crore and Rs 31.50 on 26 and 27 March. View the tweet here:

The film has managed to perform exceptionally well at mass centres, leading to expectations that it would manage to hold on to its growth on Day 4 (today) as well.

The Hindi version of RRR had also faced some stiff competition from Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files.  The Anupam Kher-starrer remains strong at the box-office, having grossed over Rs 228 crore till date. The Kashmir Files earned Rs 8.75 crore on Sunday and is now on track to cross the Rs 250-crore mark.

RRR also stars Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Alison Doody, Olivia Morris, Ray Stevenson and Shriya Saran in pivotal roles. The film is based on the revolutionaries Komaram Bheem and Alluri Seetharamaraju and their fight against the British empire. The film marks SS Rajamouli’s first directorial venture since his super-hit Baahubali franchise.

Udaan to AK vs AK, Vikramaditya Motwane’s decade-long genre-hopping filmography is commendable

Director Vikramaditya Motwane’s earliest memory of being on a set is from the 80s when his mother Dipa De Motwane worked as a production manager. It was an ad for Nycil that was being directed by the legendary Shukla Das. “My sister and I had gone and I remember there was a stage where some kids were doing a play and there was a paper dragon,” the 44-year-old had shared in a previous interview to me. But it was much later when he turned 17 that Motwane began to enjoy being on a set. “I used to be very bored initially. Then my mother roped in my friends and I to help on a television chat show called Teen Talk. That’s when I realised that it was the best thing ever.” Since those heady days of being a production assistant, Motwane has gone on to explore many genres as a director. His debut film Udaan (2010) was the first Indian film in seven years to be an official selection at Cannes. The coming-of-age film, starring Rajat Barmecha and Ronit Roy, is a deeply affecting story of a mother...
