Adipurush: No Discount For South!

Prabhas starrer Adipurush is falling drastically at the box office. After a sharp decline in the film’s collections on Monday, the trade pundits reported that the film’s revenue further dipped on Tuesday. Despite a sensational first weekend, it still needs a lot to recover costs. The buyers are hoping for a turnaround over the weekend. Meanwhile, the makers announced a new offer to the audiences that they can watch the film in 3D for 150 rupees. But, the offer is not applicable in South states (except for Karnataka).

T-Series, the film’s production house, took to Twitter to announce that the film can be experienced in 3D on the big screen at an affordable price of 150 rupees, but they have added terms and conditions to the same.

The first condition that they came up with is that the particular offer is not valid in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. The second condition is that the viewer will have to pay an additional charge for the 3D glasses.

First of all, if at all the film does well in the country, it should be in the Southern part of India, where Prabhas enjoys a big fan base. At a time when the film’s collections are coming down, the team should focus on encouraging the audiences to watch the film at places where there is a scope.

But, the team seems to have no soft corner for the audiences from the South who have been generous in receiving the film despite exhibiting flaws and hurting the sentiments.

In the first place, there is no need to introduce such discount offers on the film and even if they did, how can they be partial in applying the offer? That too, for a film based on Ramayana, which they wanted everyone to enjoy.

Time and again, the hypocrisy and the double standards of team Adipurush is getting exposed and needless to say that the makers are doing this on their own.

Earlier, the team commented that their film is based on Ramayana and then the writer recently said that the film was not based on Ramayana. These things are only adding more negativity to the movie and it is time that the makers realize that the audiences should be respected.
