SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus ‘RRR’ has received a magnanimous reception from the audience and film critics alike. The Jr NTR and Ram Charan-starrer has already broken the previous record for the biggest first-day opening set by Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’. ‘RRR’ made £22.3 million worldwide on Day One of release. It made £15.6 million in India, and added another £4.2 million from the US and Canada.
Rajamouli took to Twitter to thank audiences for the “thunderous” response to the film. Film critic Taran Adarsh tweeted, “‘RRR’ SMASHES ALL RECORDS ON DAY 1… OVERTAKES ‘BAAHUBALI 2’… ‘RRR’ IS NOW NO. 1 OPENER OF INDIAN CINEMA… WORLDWIDE Day 1 biz [Gross BOC]: ₹ 223 cr.”
Sharing numbers for Australia and New Zealand, he wrote, “‘RRR’ OPENS TO RECORD NUMBERS IN AUS, NZ… #RRR OVERTAKES #TheBatman in #Australia, claiming the No 1 spot on Fri… #NZ is SOLID too… #Australia: A$ 702,560 [₹ 4.03 cr] #NZ: NZ$ 69,741 [₹ 37.07 lacs] #USA: Crosses $ 5 million [Thu previews + Fri, still counting].”
