Tokyo, January 28 - SS Rajamouli's period action drama film "RRR", which is flying high in the international awards, has completed 100 days at the Japan box office on a sensational note.
Starring Jr. NTR and Ram Charan, "RRR" was released in Japan on October 21, 2023, and has been going strong there week after week. It has already become the biggest Indian grosser a long time ago in Japan by crossing Rajinikanth's "Muthu" (¥400 million) and it continues to pile on the momentum.
The blockbuster movie is now in its 15th weekend with a gross collection of approx. ¥725 million (approx. 45.50 crores) in 100 days. The last couple of weeks has been extraordinary for "RRR" in the anime country with the 14th week emerging as the biggest so far in its run over there.
"RRR" grossed ¥120 million in its 14th week, which is ¥39 million more than the first-week collection in the country. The awards buzz and Dolby cinema release have provided a major push to the "RRR" collection. The movie is already performing better than the projection and is not looking to stop anytime soon.
Produced by DVV Entertainment, "RRR's" worldwide gross collection is now approx. 1155 crores and it could collect another 10-12 crores from Japan to around 1170 crores. The makers are eyeing to release the movie in other markets and the Oscars win could give that a big push.
