Released in cinemas on Thursday (5th November), the mythological epic recorded an estimated Rs.77.50 crore gross in India, according to box office tracker Sacnilk. The film was screened across approximately 25,200 shows in multiple languages.
The Hindi version led the collections with Rs.47.50 crore nett, while the Kannada version contributed Rs.7.25 crore. The Telugu version collected Rs.6 crore, followed by Tamil at Rs.2.60 crore and Malayalam at Rs.1.50 crore.
