By 5 PM on day 3, the film had earned ₹42.57 crore net in India, taking its three-day haul to ₹155.47 crore, according to the trade website Sacnilk. This shows that the film has managed to show a significant improvement on Saturday. The film is now eyeing the ₹200 crore mark, which it is expected to cross by Sunday.
By the end of day 3, Adipurush had earned above ₹200 crore net in India. It remains to be seen whether Ramayana can cross that mark.
