Baahubali: The Conclusion proved to be the highest first day grosser in the history of domestic box-office.
The film's Hindi version has earned INR 392 crore in its two weeks run at the box office. Well, the collections has crossed Dangal's lifetime collection at the Indian box office. Dangal collected INR 387.39 crore.
Talking about the success, in an interview, producer Shobu Yarlagadda said, "We knew the film will be a success, but the speed and rate of its achievement has taken us by surprise. It's a combination of a good story and emotions rooted in Indian storytelling, a larger-than-life canvas, great action made possible with great sets and VFX and technical values like photography, sound and music."
Explaining the reach of Hindi version, Shobu said, "Good cinema with a universal theme and emotions, when presented in the right manner, should work in any language or territory. Baahubali is a case in point. It is not region-centric and broadly Indian in theme and content. Technically it's well made and care has been taken to ensure that the dialogues and lyrics in every language are well written and the dubbing is good. Moreover, our partnership with Karan Johar and Dharma Films and a solid distributor like Anil Thadani of AA Films ensured that we got a release comparable to that of any big Hindi films. As you can see, Hindi — and for that matter, a pan-India release — was not an afterthought, but a well thought through strategy, and the results are showing in the box office success."
Talking about Karan Johar and Anil Thadani's contributions, Shobu went on to say, "I think both of them played a crucial role in taking the film and connecting it to Hindi audience. Dharma and Karan Johar's name and him talking about the film and presenting it as India's biggest motion picture got us the necessary attention. This along with Anil's solid distribution experience ensured the results for both Baahubali: The Beginning, and The Conclusion."
