SS Rajamouli's 'RRR' Crosses 500 Crores Nett At The Domestic Box Office

Mumbai, April 2 - Telugu superstars, Jr. NTR and Ram Charan, joined forces with blockbuster machine SS Rajamouli and delivered yet another Pan-India box office hit in the form of "RRR". The period action drama fiction, set in 1920, has crossed the 500 crores net mark at the domestic box office in just 8 days.

The box office success of "RRR" was somehow already assured keeping Rajamouli's devoted fanbase across the country but reaching the 500 crores mark in near record-breaking days, is something very very special. It has become only the Indian movie after Rajamouli's own "Baahubali 2" to reach the landmark box office figure.



With the support of highly positive word of mouth, the original Telugu version is driving the biz of "RRR" and crossed the 300 crores net (311 cr.) mark in 8 days, followed by the all-important dubbed Hindi version with 145 crores. The Hindi version was always going to be a key to the film's overall success and it has delivered big and is in a position to go long without much trouble.

"RRR" will go past "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion" to become the all-time highest-grossing Telugu movie. BB2 had scored 338 crores net in its lifetime run and "RRR" is likely to break this record by the end of the second weekend itself. However, the all-time Hindi record created by BB2, which minted 510.99 crores net, is a far cry and will remain unbeatable (most probably), at least for some time.

Meanwhile, the other dubbed versions of "RRR", Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, have also crossed the 50 crores mark with a higher contribution from the Tamil version with approx. 36 crores. Overall, the latest box office epic has scored approx. 505 crores net through the second Friday (8th day). The biz is expected is escalate over the 2nd weekend and it might reach the 600 crores mark by the end of it. By the writing of this article, the gross collection has crossed 750 crores worldwide and will breach 800 crores today in all probability.

Produced by D. V. V. Danayya of DVV Entertainment, "RRR" is a fictional story about two Indian revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju (Charan) and Komaram Bheem (Rama Rao), and their fight against the British Raj. It also stars Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Shriya Saran, Samuthirakani, Ray Stevenson, Alison Doody, and Olivia Morris in key roles.
