Having released first in India, a week ahead of its international counterparts, EPIC has opened to 3.6 Crores Gross Box Office in India (2.52 cr NET ), despite a crowded Box Office with simultaneous releases of high profile Hollywood releases such Amitabh Bachchan's 'The Great Gatsby’ and Mira Nair’s ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’.
