Prabhas, SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Epic Off To A Blockbuster Start In Advance Bookings In India

Hyderabad, October 25 - SS Rajamouli's epic Baahubali duology returns to the big screen with a bang in a one epic cut. After seeing an excellent response in North America, this advance booking for Prabhas-fronted magnum opus, Baahubali: The Epic, has opened with an excellent response domestically, reaffirming the unmatched craze surrounding the franchise even after years of its original release.

The bookings for the re-edited single-film version officially opened in Hyderabad on October 25, and within minutes, most of the shows were sold out. The film has been selling over 5,000 tickets per hour on BookMyShow, showcasing the extraordinary enthusiasm among fans eager to relive the cinematic spectacle on the big screen once again. It has grossed nearly 2 crores in India and around 4 crores worldwide for the opening day.

What's even more remarkable is that this isn't a brand-new release — Baahubali: The Epic is a remastered and restructured version combining Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion into one seamless narrative. Yet, the response proves that the franchise continues to enjoy cult-level fan following across generations.

Internationally, the film's bookings are record-breaking for a re-release Indian title. In North America, Baahubali: The Epic has already crossed the $200,000 mark in pre-sales — a staggering figure that surpasses many first-time releases. The excitement in NA indicates a wave of nostalgia and admiration for Rajamouli's storytelling and Prabhas' iconic portrayal of Baahubali.

Baahubali: The Epic is expected to create new records by a long margin for a re-release Indian film. The initial demand has been excellent, as fans seek to experience the grandeur of Mahishmati in the most immersive way possible. With the film set for a nationwide release on October 31, trade experts believe it could redefine what's possible for a re-release at the Indian box office.
