Ever since Prabhas and Kriti Sanon starrer Adipurush was released, it has stirred controversy for its presentation and dialogues. However, the box office numbers have remained unaffected by the backlash. The adaptation of the Hindu epic Ramayana has surpassed Rs 300 crore worldwide in just three days.

Om Raut’s directorial had an impressive start at the ticket counter, earning Rs 140 crore worldwide.
