Kochi: Director SS Rajamouli’s film RRR crossed the mark of Rupees 18 crores on the first day of release. RRR is roaring at the box office and how! The film’s Hindi version, according to trade analyst Ramesh Bala has minted Rs 18 crore on the first day.
The film is also doing great business in Australia and New Zealand.
RRR is a fictional story based on the lives of Telugu freedom fighters, Alluri Seetharama Raju and Komaram Bheem. The film will see Ram Charan playing the role of Alluri Seetharama Raju and Jr NTR as Komaram Bheem.
The film was supposed to come out in early January and $2 million in presale tickets had to be returned to customers when the release was delayed due to Omicron, said Sarigami. It had originally been set to premiere in 2020, then in 2021.
The story is set in 1920s New Delhi amid the Indian freedom movement. It revolves around two revolutionaries — an angry young police officer Raju (Ram Charam), who is both revered and feared by the British, and Bheem (N.T. Rama Rao Jr.), a simple tribal youth who has come to the city to rescue his abducted niece. It’s said to be one of the biggest-budget Indian films ever.
