The audience has started liking director SS Rajamouli’s move to celebrate ten years of “Baahubali”. Rajamouli has combined both his “Baahubali” films together and made one film “Baahubali – The Epic”. It is scheduled to release in theaters on October 31. The audience is excited to see this new look of “Baahubali”, one of the biggest blockbusters of Indian cinema. The discussion about “Bahubali – The Epic” was already increasing on social media, but now this enthusiasm is visible in advance booking also.
Advance booking of “Bahubali – The Epic” has started
The team of “Baahubali – The Epic” is busy arranging screens, while advance booking for the Hindi and Telugu versions of the film has started in Hyderabad. The craze of this film is so much that the shows started becoming housefull in Hyderabad from Sunday morning itself.
At the time of writing this report on Monday, all four shows of “Baahubali – The Epic” were sold out in many single-screen theatres. In many multiplex theatres, where 9-10 shows are available throughout the day, many shows were already houseful. Most shows are 60% to 70% booked and filling up fast. The shows have just started in Bengaluru, and many venues are already full. Booking of “Bahubali-The Epic” has not even started yet in many big cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai. Bookings are expected to start closer to the release. However, looking at the response of the people, it is clear that the story of “Baahubali” is going to rock the box office once again as soon as it is released.
“Baahubali” will once again create a stir on its release.
Prabhas and Rana Daggubati starrer “Baahubali” created earning records in 2015. But the ending of the film was such that people were eagerly waiting for its sequel. When “Baahubali 2” was released in 2017, it created such a stir that theaters in many cities remained open 24 hours. The result was that “Baahubali 2” still remains one of the top three films of Indian cinema.
If the initial response to “Baahubali – The Epic” continues in other cities as well, records may be broken once again. “Sanam Teri Kasam” currently holds the record for the highest-grossing film upon re-release in Indian cinema. The film, released in 2016, grossed ₹41 crore worldwide upon its re-release this year. This earning was many times more than the film’s initial release earnings.
If the craze for “Baahubali – The Epic” continues, it could become the first film to cross the ₹100 crore mark upon its re-release. After “Sholay”, “Bahubali” had the highest viewership. The film’s spectacular visuals, explosive action and heart-touching emotional story will remain fresh in the memories of the audience. If nostalgia works its magic, crowds will flock to theaters to relive the epic story of “Baahubali”, and trade experts will be stunned by the box office collections.
