Fans of Prabhas and Ranbir are driving online comparisons after the Day 1 box-office numbers for Adipurush and Ramayana. Times of India reports Adipurush opens with Rs 140 crore, while Ramayana earns Rs 125 crore on its first day, sparking debate about which performance is more impressive.

Times of India also frames the discussion around production scale and industry context, noting that Ramayana has a higher production budget than Adipurush. NDTV and India Today focus on the reaction itself, describing social-media chatter on X where audiences compare the two films and highlight how Ramayana is seen as falling short of Adipurush’s Day 1 mark.

Across the coverage, the main common thread is that the Day 1 figures are being used by fan communities to argue about relative success. The outlets differ mainly in how much emphasis they place on budget and in the specific way they word what “misses” what record, while the core comparison remains the same.
