Prabhas' Adipurush: Massive hype, stupendous review; will it be another Baahubali for the Darling?

In the last few years, South Indian superstars like Yash and Allu Arjun gained mammoth following across India as their movies became highly successful. But the one person who made the real breakthrough of getting the Southern movies and actors an identity across pan India is undoubtedly Prabhas.

The Darling as Baahubali gave Prabhas international recognition and made him a national hero. And since then, several Southern movies have been successfully dominating the box offices across India. The next big movie all set to hit the theatre is Prabhas starrer Adipurush.

Those who had the fortune of watching the Censor copy of Adipurush have given a very good rating for this movie based on the mythological epic Ramayana that also features Kriti Sanon, Sunny Singh, and Saif Ali Khan as Sita, Lakshman, and Lankesh respectively.

The review gives a “must-watch” verdict and describes the movie as visually stunning, and engrossing that takes the audience into the divine era.

Critics hail Prabhas’ stardom

Critics across India have hailed Prabhas for his stardom and impact as Raghav on the audience saying that usually for a good pan India opening of Rs 30 to 40 crore, the movie should have a big Bollywood star. However, Prabhas’ hold in South India has ensured that the movie gets a Rs 50 crore extra opening in the South.

The craze for #Adipurush is soaring to an all-new level! 1 lakh tickets have already been booked at #PVRINOX.

When Rajamouli made Baahubali, he had no one but Prabhas in his mind for the lead role because he knew that only this Rebel star can carry that larger-than-life image convincingly on the silver screen. Ditto Om Raut when the director said that only Prabhas has the personality and the eyes that can bring alive the character of Raghav alive on the screen.

400-500 cr budgeted films should always have Pan India stars as it makes easy for the makers to recover their budget. #Adipurush with a Bollywood Hero would have raked maximum ₹ 30-40cr on non holiday opening day whereas as #Prabhas has ensured extra 50 cr nett opening from…

Will Adipurush match the success of Baahubali?

The movie’s first teaser was badly slammed for poor VFX. But what followed after the improvements won hearts and it seems that the efforts are going to be rewarded manifold. So, will Adipurush emerge as another Baahubali for Prabhas?
