Adipurush Ticket Prices Slashed:Adipurush, one of the much-awaited films of the pan-India star Prabhas, met an unexpected response at the box office in India and overseas after it hit the screens on June 16. The epic mythological saga of Ramayana, written by Valmiki, became a point of controversy.

The story of Ram, Sita, and Hanuman, along with Lakshmana during their Vanavas, was depicted on the silver screen with the help of technology by co-producer and director Om Raut. The makers at T-Series and Retrophiles, who produced one of the costliest films of India on a budget of about Rs 500 Crore, are now considering various strategies to attract viewers to the theatres.

Prabhas-starrer movie failed to impress the viewers, fans of the actor, and critics alike. The bad output and negligence of the filmmakers in various crafts have made the movie an epic disaster, giving a hattrick flop to Prabhas after Baahubali 1 & 2.

The promotional campaign and the pre-release event for Adipurush were humongous, and the makers left no stone unturned to raise expectations for the film, using its Hindutva content to reach out to the people in the country.

They even distributed several thousands of tickets all over the Hindi-speaking belt, along with a few other places in the south. None could revive the losses the movie is continuing to incur throughout the last week.

Meanwhile, the advance booking rage has come to an abrupt end on the third day of the film's theatrical release owing to bad word-of-mouth. To make up for the losses and to encourage more viewers to experience Adipurush on the screen, the filmmakers have now decided to offer tickets at a flat price of Rs 112.

Adipurush Story

The epic is the story of Rama aka Raghav, who embarks on a defining journey from Ayodhya to Lanka in a bid to rescue his kidnapped wife Sita aka Janaki. He has to defeat the mighty king of Lanka, Ravanasura aka Lankesh, with the help of his disciple Hanuma aka Bajrang. The movie is based on the mythological depiction of the same by Valmiki in the Ramayana, a Hindu mythological scripture.
