Filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s latest blockbuster RRR continues its dream at the box office in Japan. The film has grossed over JPY 209 million (Rs 11 crore approx). The filmmakers revealed that more than 1.3 lakh people have watched this film in cinemas in Japan within 20 days of its release. The film has already out-earned other Indian blockbusters, which made a dent at the Japanese box office in the past.

RRR has sold more tickets than Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots (JPY 170 million). And it’s well on its way to surpassing the earnings of Baahubali: The Conclusion (JPY 300 million). But, what remains to be seen is will hit beat superstar Rajinikanth’s Muthu collections. The film, which was released in Japan 27 years ago, remained the highest-grossing film there with JPY 400 million.
