Director SS Rajamouli’s period epic 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' has become a landmark film at the worldwide box office, by collecting over Rs 1000 crore in 10 days. It is the first Indian film ever to touch the magic figure of grossing over 1000 crore worldwide, out of which roughly Rs 800 crore has come from India domestic theatricals, and the rest from overseas markets.
Karan Johar of Dharma Productions, who distributed the Hindi version of the film in the North Indian markets, tweeted, "The biggest milestone has been reached by the biggest blockbuster of Indian cinema — 1000 crore for Baahubali 2!". It's worth mention that Baahubali 2’s Hindi version alone has crossed Rs 300 crore and is racing towards Rs 400 crore — a new record for a Hindi film.
Trade expert Taran Adarsh shared these details on Twitter over the weekend (the film's second, at the box office): "Baahubali 2 packs a solid Rs 25 crore on Saturday; creates new record: fastest to reach Rs 300 crore club (Day 10)." Adarsh added that these numbers indicated he net collections for the Hindi version, from the domestic market.
And the US market, dominated thus far by the Khan triumvirate, 'Baahubali 2' became the first Indian film to do a business of Rs 100 crore. It has beaten Dangal’s $12.4 million to rank as the number one (Indian) film in the US. Early on Sunday (7 May) afternoon, Great India Films, the US distributor for Rajamouli's magnum opus tweeted: "Baahubali 2 just crossed $16 millions with tracked locations."
Prabhas, who is currently holidaying in the US, wrote an emotional Facebook post where he expressed his gratitude to his admirers from around the world for their love and support.
“To all my fans, a big hug to each one of you for all the love that you all have showered on me. I have tried my best to go through a lot of the efforts that you all have put to express your affection for me from different parts of India and even overseas. I am truly overwhelmed with everything. The journey of ‘Baahubali’ has been a long one but among the few things that I will take away from this, is all of you. Lots of love back to you all,” he wrote.
The actor thanked Rajamouli for his unwavering belief in him. “A big thank you to SS Rajamouli sir for believing in me to carry his huge vision to the masses, giving me a once-in-a-lifetime character of Baahubali and making the entire journey so special.”
