SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus ‘Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion’ opened to a roaring response at the box office. And, clearly BookMyShow has benefited a lot as they have earned over Rs 70 crore from booking tickets online. The online website has sold around 12 tickets of ‘Baahubali 2’ every second. It’s an unimaginable record for the website as people have been obsessing and going crazy over the movie. CEO of BookMyShow, Ashish Hemrajani said, “Rajamouli script has been phenomenal and any good script will see the fantastic result. For the first time the sequel is better than original and everyone wants to know ‘Why Kattappa Killed Baahubali’ and that’s why it’s creating the frenzy. We have already crossed 3.5 million tickets and over the first day we sold over a million tickets and its broken all sorts of records.” (Also Read: KRK reviews ‘Baahubali 2’, and we’re scratching our heads as usual!)
He further added, “Millions of movie buffs across the country have bought Baahubali tickets with the comfort of sitting at home, and getting a 2D bar code and go and scan it. Long gone are the days that you have to stand in a line at box office, look at a pigeon hole and have a certain time for box office window to open. We have been able to revolutionise the way tickets are sold in this country over the last 18 years and this is really the proof of the pudding. It is a great joy to see so many people buy tickets online and see them catch their film, it is gratifying.”
It’s indeed beneficial for both the movie makers and the ticket selling websites. ‘Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion’ stars Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Sathyaraj, Ramya Krishnan and Tamannaah Bhatia.
