Expect record opening: Baahubali 2 likely to rake in Rs 1,000 crore

'Bahubali 2 likely to rake in nearly Rs 1,000 crore

The movie has stirred a box-office storm even before it hits the screens on Friday


Nearly two years after releasing the first part of his magnum opus “Bahubali-The Beginning”, director S S Rajmouli is all set to release the concluding part of the saga.

“Bahubali 2: The Conclusion” has stirred a box-office storm even before it hits the screens on Friday.

The first part, which ended at perhaps the most titillating junctures in the recent cinema history, opened to blockbuster collections in the range of Rs 50 crore on day one and went on to collect a massive Rs 650 crore (gross) at the worldwide box-office. The Rs 200-crore franchise is expected to take a record opening, getting close to or even exceeding its predecessor’s record.

Starring Telugu actors Prabhas and Rana Dagubatti along with Tamannaah and Anushka Shetty, the film will be released in as many as 6,500 screens in the country, including 3D and IMAX — the third film from India to be released in IMAX format (the first two being Dhoom 3 in 2013 and Bang Bang in 2015).

With no other movie releasing on the same day as Bahubali-2, the movie is well-positioned to break box-office records in the southern states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka.

According to trade analysts, the movie will out do its prequel and rake in around Rs 1,000 crore (gross worldwide) in its life time. Experts bet that the opening day figure could breach Rs 80 crore (gross).


Reports said the film would be released in 9,000 screens worldwide, a record for an Indian film. While 6,500 screens will be for India, 1,400 screens have been earmarked for the US and the remaining 1,100 for the rest of the world.(READ MORE)

It comes in four variants in the price range of Rs 4.7 lakh to Rs 6.19 lakh Upping the ante in the crowded compact sedan category,  Tata Motors  on Wednesday launched Tata Tigor , its third product in the tax-efficient sub-four metre sedan segment.
