Box Office Report: Baahubali 2 inches close to 1500 crore
Baahubali 2 is unstoppable at the box office. The film made more than INR 1400 crore at the worldwide market and will soon be making about INR 1500 crore which is definitely a record-breaking moment in the cinemas.
Baahubali 2, by now we all know that SS Rajamouli's film has created a history and there's no one stopping this epic breaking barriers at both the Indian and the global market. Yesterday, the film was standing tall at INR 1330 crore and now the reports are that Baahubali 2 has earned more than INR 1400 crore and is inching close to INR 1500 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."
