Epic Blockbuster SS Rajamouli's 'RRR' Crosses Historic 2 Billion Yen In Japan

Tokyo, May 14 - The epic Indian blockbuster RRR, directed by maverick SS Rajamouli, is unstoppable at the Japanese box office, proving to be a monstrous hit in the country.

Released in October last year, "RRR" initially feared a short life in Japan after lower than expected opening. However, as word of mouth spread, it became a force to reckon with, and as things stand today, it has crossed the historic ¥2 billion/$14.75 million or 121+ crores.



The period action drama is going nuts at the Japanese box office since last year and currently playing in a handful of cinemas. "RRR" already became the highest-grossing Indian movie in Japan in December 2022 after beating Rajinikanth's "Muthu" but it has stunned one and all with its longevity at the box office.

The period action drama has been running in theaters for over 205 days and has scored over 1.2 million footfalls. As reported earlier, Japan has become the highest-grossing overseas market for "RRR" after it crossed the film's USA run of $14.30 million. The total worldwide collection of the film now stands at around 1230 crores gross, including over 300 crores overseas collection.

Produced by DVV Entertainment, the movie stars Jr. NTR, and Ram Charan in the lead along with Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn, among others in key roles.
