One of the most anticipated releases of 2023, Prabhas and Kriti Sanon-starrer mythological drama Adipurush, finally hits the theatres today, June 16 (Friday). Based on the epic mythological tale of Ramayana, the film is written and directed by Om Raut and stars Prabhas as Lord Ram, Kriti Sanon as Goddess Sita, Sunny Singh as Laxman and Saif Ali Khan as Ravana.

Even before its release, the film had managed to create quite a huge buzz among fans. So much so that the film's ticket price crossed Rs 2,000 in major cities like Delhi and Mumbai. In Delhi, one ticket for the movie is priced at Rs 2200 in PVR Directors Cut, Ambience Mall, according to BookMyShow. This ticket price pertains to the Hindi version of the film in a 2D format.

Apart from the PVR Directors Cut theatre, Delhi’s PVR: Vegas LUXE in Dwarka has also priced the tickets of Adipurush for Rs 2,000. The price of tickets for all shows at Maison PVR in Mumbai is Rs 2,000 for Living Room, Luxe, Jio World Drive, and BKC.

Despite the high prices of the tickets, multiple shows are housefull in Delhi. Apart from Delhi, the government of Andhra Pradesh also approved a price hike of Rs 50 on the current ticket prices for the Adipurush film for 10 days after the release.

However, tickets are also available at cheaper rates. For instance, middle and front stalls at Delhi's Amba Cinema are priced at Rs 75. Mumbai's Aman theatre is selling the tickets for Adipurush at Rs 70. While in Bengaluru, tickets are being sold at Rs 100 in Bharathi theatre.
