Get ready for a thrilling ride as we dive into the world of 'Baahubali: The Epic' and its box office journey! This Prabhas-led blockbuster has taken audiences by storm, but its recent performance has sparked some intriguing discussions.
'Baahubali: The Epic', a cinematic masterpiece by SS Rajamouli, has been re-released as a combined feature, bringing together the epic saga's two parts. In just five days, it has crossed the impressive milestone of Rs 25 crore. However, here's where it gets controversial: the film experienced a notable drop in collections from Monday onwards.
The movie had an explosive start, raking in ₹1.15 crore from Thursday premieres and a whopping ₹9.65 crore on Friday. It continued its success over the weekend, collecting ₹7.25 crore on Saturday and ₹6.3 crore on Sunday. But, on day four, the numbers took a dip, reaching ₹1.65 crore. Day five saw a similar trend, with 'Baahubali: The Epic' generating Rs 1.50 crore, on par with 'The Taj Story' and 'Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat' on that day.
As of now, the total collection for 'Baahubali: The Epic' in India stands at Rs 27.60 crore, according to Sacnilk. And this is the part most people miss: the film's performance in the South, where Rajamouli's fan base is massive, has been exceptional. However, in the Hindi market, it faces tough competition from 'Thamma', 'Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat', and 'The Taj Story'.
Here's a breakdown of the daily collections:
- Day 0 (Thursday): ₹ 1.15 Cr
- Day 1 (1st Friday): ₹ 9.65 Cr
- Day 2 (1st Saturday): ₹ 7.25 Cr
- Day 3 (1st Sunday): ₹ 6.3 Cr
- Day 4 (1st Monday): ₹ 1.75 Cr
- Day 5 (1st Tuesday): ₹ 1.50 Cr (early estimates)
- Total: ₹ 27.60 Cr
And here's the intriguing question: Will 'Baahubali: The Epic' maintain its momentum and live up to the massive success of its predecessors, 'Baahubali: The Beginning' and 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion'? Only time will tell.
