Mumbai, 10/2Ace filmmaker S S Rajamouli’s latest magnum opus RRR, which hit the screens on March 25, has crossed the Rs 1000 crore-mark at the worldwide box office. This is the second ‘Jakkanna’ movie to achieve this feat as his last release Baahubali 2 had raked in Rs 1,810 crore during its run.
RRR opened to a sensational response at the box office last month, grossing Rs 223 crore on day 1 to emerge as the Indian cinema’s best opener worldwide. It witnessed remarkable growth on weekends and stayed strong on weekdays, which helped it rewrite history. The period drama collected a share of Rs 73 crore in the Telugu states, beating Baahubali 2 to set a new benchmark. It did equally well in markets such as Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala during its opening weekend.
