These numbers are already far away from the numbers one can even dream of, the sequel is really compared to the first part, the former one collected Rs 22 crores on the first weekend, which is nothing compared to this.
The sequel has already crossed all the Hindi lifetime collections with 400 crores and the movie created a new benchmark in Indian cinema. Movies like PK and Dangal achieved 300 crores, but this SS Rajamouli movie is the first one to get a whopping 400 crores.
Can any of the new releases stop Baahubali 2’s success march? It seems “No” for now as this record breaking reports and love from the people seems never end soon.
Meanwhile, media reports have suggested that SS Rajamouli is considering making the third part of this hugely successful franchise, Baahubali 3.
