‘Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion’ breaks all past records, has the highest opening ever

Finally, ‘Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion‘ has hit the theatres and fans have gone into a frenzy as most of the shows were running houseful yesterday. With high ticket prices and houseful theatres, we had expected great numbers, but not a humongous response. But, the movie broke all records as it collected Rs 45 crore nett on its first day, and mind you, this is the collection of Hindi version alone. The movie has already surpassed the first day collection of Salman Khan-starrer ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ which had collected Rs 39.32 crore nett. However, you have to keep in mind that it was Diwali period. So, it’s a huge number for ‘Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion’, considering the fact that the movie released on a month end and that too with high ticket prices (when people are not ready to spend so much).

Well, the movie did not collect as much in South, but the overall domestic business including all the languages is a whopping Rs 125 crore nett. That’s an amazing way to kickstart the weekend. In the Hindi markets, the highest numbers are from East Punjab and Delhi where the former collected Rs 4.60 crore nett and the latter did a business of Rs 4 crore nett.

The movie is mounted on a huge budget of around Rs 400 crore and the way the movie has started, with a bang, we are sure the weekend and the Monday (May 1) holiday is going to do wonders for the box office business of the movie. ‘Baahubali 2’ stars Prabhas, Sathyaraj, Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati, Ramya Krishnan and Tamannaah Bhatia in pivotal roles.
