SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus “Bahubali” turned out to be box-office champion by entering 300 crore club in just nine days. Recording a remarkable first day collection of Rs 50 crore, the film overtook the previous record of superstar Rajinikanth’s ‘Enthiran’. ‘Enthiran’ collected approximately Rs 290 crore at the box office.
Trade analyst Trinath was quoted by IANS as saying that “As of Saturday, the film has grossed Rs 303 crore worldwide.”
“The Hindi version of the film has netted over Rs 50 crore, setting a new record for a dubbed film. Despite the onslaught of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the numbers of Bahubali have not been affected,” he said.
The multi-lingual film, which has been made in Tamil and Telugu simultaneously, was dubbed in Hindi. The Hindi version of Bahubali has been acquired by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
‘Bahubali’, made on a budget of Rs 250 crore, is a mythological drama about two brothers fight for a kingdom. The lead roles were played by Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah Bhatia. The second part of the Rajamoul’s film is scheduled to release next year.
