S.S. Rajamouli’s magnum opus ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ has made waves worldwide with its bumper opening and massive weekend collections. The multi-lingual film that stars Prabhas and Rana Daggubati, amassed a whopping Rs 506 crore worldwide (cumulative figure of all languages) over the opening weekend, according to a report on BoxofficeIndia.com.
While the collections in India read Rs 385 crore (gross) over the weekend, it minted Rs 121 crore overseas. The business in US and Canada, Gulf and Australia has reportedly smashed all records. Not just that, if we include the collections of the previews, then the worldwide collection goes up to Rs 520 crore.
‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ was one of the highly anticipated films after the phenomenal success of its 2015 prequel ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’. Paired with state-of-the-art VFX and a good storyline, the release of the sequel had fans flocking to theatres in large numbers to have their question ‘Why Kattappa killed Baahubali’ answered. The ‘Baahubali 2’ mania is not just restricted to the nation but has clearly spread overseas too. Superstar Rajinikanth too lauded the magnum opus and termed it as “Indian cinema’s pride”.
