The much anticipated Adipurush is releasing in theatres tomorrow. Since it was first announced, the movie has garnered attention for an excessive number of reasons. Om Raut, the film's director, based it on the mythological epic Ramayana. It's a modern interpretation of a classic tale, but among other things, its VFX have drawn criticism.Here is a compilation of everything that caught our eye now that the film is releasing soon.
A special seat for Lord HanumanThere have been announcements regarding a special seat that has been booked since the premiere of the film's final trailer. In order to show respect for Lord Hanuman, director Om Raut then asked the producers and exhibitors to leave one seat vacant in each theatre. As this has never been done before, there was a lot of discussion about it.Overpriced tickets next to the special seatFollowing Om Raut's announcement that Lord Hanuman will have a dedicated seat in every theatre, numerous rumours also spread. According to news sources and online posts, the tickets near that seat will be expensive. Some rumours suggest that it would cost more than usual. However, T-Series issued an official statement asserting that this information was false and misleading.

Cost of the ticketsSome theatre seats are reportedly selling even for Rs. 2,000 for first-day performances, according to some sources. These are, of course, in exclusive locations for exclusive shows. Yet, this is still significant news for a movie that charges such high costs for its seats, especially considering how unhappy viewers have been with ticket prices over the previous few months.Celebrities donating tickets There have been numerous blogs and articles about well-known celebrities giving away movie tickets. Reportedly, Abhishek Agarwal and Ranbir Kapoor agreed to give 10,000 Adipurush tickets to underprivileged kids enrolled in public schools and nursing homes.

Adipurush will not get an IMAX releaseWhen the pre-booking process began, it was also observed by fans and news portals that the movie was not being screened on IMAX screens. This undoubtedly sparked a lot of discussion among viewers who were expecting the opposite. The issue with visually expansive movies is that an IMAX screen boosts image resolution by using a bigger film frame. The IMAX screens were previously acquired by Warner Bros. Pictures because DC's Flash is now opening on the same day.Tales of Ayodhya served as inspiration for Kriti Sanon's shawlKriti Sanon recently wore a shawl that reflected the stories of Ayodhya while participating in promotional events. Her stylist provided images and specifications, noting that it required over 6,000 hours of labour and two years to conceptualise. The shawl uses images and language references to depict everything, including palaces, clothing, greenery, birds, and animals.
Distribution rights of the filmSince Adipurush's announcement, the movie's budget has been a topic of discussion. As a result, both viewers and analysts are interested in how much it makes. This includes both ticket sales and other earnings. According to reports, the film's distribution rights have brought in an estimated 270 crore. Additionally, sources indicate that the movie's OTT and satellite rights were sold for 210 crore.
