Bahubali: The Unstoppable Power of 'Baahubali: The Epic'

The Unstoppable Power of 'Baahubali: The Epic' News Update on SerialBoosters.com 

The enduring legacy of the 'Baahubali' franchise has been reaffirmed with the sensational re-release, repackaged as 'Baahubali: The Epic.' This ambitious project combines both original parts—Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion—into a single, remastered cinematic experience. 

The audience reaction to this re-edited saga, directed by S.S. Rajamouli and starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, and an ensemble cast, has been nothing short of extraordinary, instantly translating into a historic box office collection.

The film's opening day has rewritten the record books for a re-released Indian movie. According to industry tracking and early estimates, 'Baahubali: The Epic' achieved an astonishing domestic net collection that comfortably crossed the ₹7 crore threshold.

The most recent reports suggest an impressive haul of approximately ₹7.88 crore net in India on Day 1. This figure is particularly remarkable because it surpasses the opening-day performance of many brand-new, mid-to-high-scale releases, highlighting the timeless appeal and massive fan base of the Mahishmati saga.

This powerful start was greatly supported by phenomenal advance bookings. Even before the first show began, the film had already secured over ₹6 crore in gross advance ticket sales across India and international markets, setting the stage for its record-breaking day. The advance booking number alone for this re-release was greater than the total domestic opening day collection of several recent original film releases.

The Audience Phenomenon Across Regions
The box office success wasn't confined to a single region; rather, it demonstrated the true "Pan-India" appeal that the original franchise helped pioneer. The Telugu-speaking territories showed the most intense loyalty and turnout, with occupancy rates soaring to an exceptional level—reportedly around 59.19% overall for the Telugu shows. Key centres like Kakinada and Warangal led the charge with attendance rates even exceeding 75%.

 The Tamil and Malayalam versions showed strong and respectable occupancies. The Hindi-dubbed version, which was a massive revenue generator for the original sequel, also contributed substantially, with opening collections estimated to be over ₹1.25 crore net.
The overwhelming audience turnout in the Telugu belt, coupled with strong collections across other major metropolitan areas like Bengaluru and Chennai, showcased the franchise's enduring capacity to draw viewers back to the big screen, reinforcing its status as a cultural behemoth.

Beyond the domestic shores, 'Baahubali: The Epic' also created waves internationally. Its global premiere bookings had already surpassed $400,000 (around ₹3.5 crore) by the opening weekend, demonstrating the worldwide demand for this epic. With the robust domestic opening collection, the worldwide gross collection on Day 1 is projected to have easily surpassed the ₹10 crore mark.
