Baahubali 2: The Conclusion Sets New Consumer Benchmarks

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has been in the news ever since the first instalment released in 2015. But after the trailer of the second part was launched on March 15, the euphoria has crossed all previous benchmarks. 

One week after the trailer launch, the Appeal (Intention to Watch the film in a theatre) clocked an all-time record of 88% (Source: Ormax Cinematix). The number is higher than all films released since 2010. The top 5 list has two Aamir Khan and two Salman Khan starrers. But Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has marched ahead of them to the top spot, as can be seen in the graphic below.


A dubbed film challenging the Khans would have been unthinkable two years ago. But today, Baahubali 2 has a genuine shot at becoming the first ‘Hindi’ film to cross the Rs. 40 crore nett mark at the domestic box office. April 28 will tell us if that happens.

PrabhasmyHero Blog Enters its 10th Year!


It's been quite a long journey with Prabhas as we enter our 10th year. When i started this Blog on this day in 2008, i never knew this man was going to have a hold on me for many more years to come. I just had a simple reason to start this blog. To make, in my own small way, more people all around the world to know about Prabhas and become fascinated by him, as i was.

Today i am a very satisfied and happy man on seeing the heights of popularity Prabhas has achieved, thanks to Baahubali and Rajamouli. What Chatrapathi did for me is now being done by Baahubali, creating fans all around the globe. But then, there is more to Prabhas than just Baahubali or Chatrapathi and this is what this Blog is all about - Just Prabhas!

Love you Darling and wishing your greater heights of glory in the years to come.

Baahubali 2 to Release in a Record 6500 Screens

'Baahubali 2' to release at 6500 screens, Prabhas's film beats Khans and Kumar

One of the most anticipated movies of the year “Baahubali: The Conclusion” has been making huge headlines for all the right reasons.

Everything seems to be going just right for Prabhas starrer "Baahubali 2". The film literally broke the internet when its trailer got released and, everyone simply went gaga over it. 

Now, the Prabhas starrer has made another big record. “Baahubali 2” is all set to release across 6500 screens. This means that it will be the first ever film to have such a huge release. Before this, Salman Khan’s “Sultan” was in the lead with 4350 screen counts, while Aamir Khan’s “Dangal” grabbed 4300 screens. Shah Rukh Khan’s “Raees” had 2500 screens, Hrithik Roshan’s “Kaabil” got 2200 screens. Similarly, Akshay Kumar’s “Jolly LLB 2” enjoyed 3200 screen counts. This means that “Baahubali 2” has already scored a huge win against the three big releases of the year. 

Baahubali - The Beginning released on July, 2015 in more than 4000 screens worldwide A record number of 1600 screens in Telugu, 1500 screens in Hindi, 350 in Tamil and 225 screens in Malayalam were booked for the release. 

Trade analyst Ramesh Bala tweeted, “#Baahubali2 will release in 6,500 Screens in India… Highest ever for any movie in India.”
The trailer of the film recorded the highest number of views on YouTube touching 100 million views and counting. This marks the first success for the film since in the history of Hindi films, only popular songs have been able to generate this kind of numbers. 

So, just the glimpse of the film has broken the internet in an immense way. Now, going by it, we can assume that even 6500 screens would clearly go houseful. 

Filmmaker Karan Johar was all praises for the film and said, ''Baahubali" series has inspired a lot of young directors. One can conceptualise a film like 'Baahubali' (in Hindi cinema) but no one has done it so far. 'Baahubali' has given opportunities to Hindi cinema. There are many young filmmakers from my company who are inspired by it. I hope it translates into more films like this." 

Directed by SS Rajamouli, ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’ also features Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah Bhatia in key roles. The movie is slated to release on April 28.

Baahubali 2 pre-sold at a profit a month before release!

Article Credits : Firstpost.com


SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has become the most viewed trailer in India. It has 87.5 million views (from Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam trailers) in six days since it went live on March 16. A day after the trailer launch SS Rajamouli tweeted – “ One of the reasons Baahubali franchise got the attention of the viewers is, the scale and grandeur with which we designed and created each part”.

Speaking exclusively to Firstpost, from his Banjara Hills office in Hyderabad, Baahubali 2 producer Shobu Yarlagadda of Arka Mediaworks says, “The trailer became a runaway success due to its grand scale, emotional and action scenes. After 17 cuts we got it perfect as the 2 minute trailer encompasses the vision and emotion in Rajamouli’s story telling. No other Indian film trailer has performed so well. I think the previous best was Dangal.” 

Yarlaggada says 65 million of the trailer views were from You Tube, out of which 32 million was Telugu, 27 million in Hindi, 5 million in Tamil and 1 million from Malayalam. 27 million views in Hindi for a dubbed film is phenomenal by any yardstick. 

The sequel to the 2015 blockbuster Baahubali: The Beginning is now the hottest film at the box-office as it is expected to take a humongous opening when it releases on April 28. 

The trade buzz is that Baahubali 1 grossed Rs 600 crore worldwide, with the producers share around Rs 250 Crore. The distributors of the film made more profits than the producers. For example Baahubali 1 distributor in North America purchased it for $4 million and the film got him a share of $ 9 million. Now, the North America rights for Baahubali 2 rights have been snapped by a different distributor, Great India Films, for a whopping $ 7 million and as per his expectation the film has potential to do $15 million and break all records.

The previous highest record collection for an Indian film in USA is Aamir Khan’s Dangal at $ 12.3 million. Arka Mediaworks’ Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni have arranged for a new set of distributors in all territories, barring Hindi version. 

The Hindi version is being done by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Anil Thadani’s AA Films. The association with Karan Johar is one of the main reasons why Baahubali became a major brand in the Hindi heartland. SS Rajamouli and the Baahubali team of Prabhas and Rana Dagubatti also gifted Katappa's sword to Karan Johar. 

In the rest of India except Kerala, the makers have opted for different distributors who have paid them record amounts. Kerala distributor Global United Media is reported to have paid double the amount they paid for part one. 

Prem Menon, of Global United Media said : “We have immense faith in the Baahubali franchise and have a good relationship with the team who will deliver. Yes, we have paid a record amount, but we are very confident that Baahubali 2 will work big time at the box-office, just like part one and will be profitable for us.” 

Yarlaggada says the total budget for both the parts Baahubali 1 and 2 is Rs 450 Crores. The trade buzz is that Baahubali 2 will get a share between Rs 400 to Rs 500 Crore for the producers from theatricals, endorsements, merchandise, games, satellite and other rights.

The satellite deal for Baahubali 2 is a record Rs 78 Crores with Hindi going to Sony (Rs 50 Cr) and Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam with Star Network (Rs 28 Cr). The digital rights are with the producers who are negotiating with Amazon and Netflix. 

“Yes, we have already made profits before release from Baahubali 2 . We are confident that the film will be another blockbuster and our right holders will make profits," says Yarlaggada. 

Baahubali 2 is slated for release on April 28 worldwide in four languages in 6500 screens in India, 750 screens in North America and another 1000 in 30 other markets. It will be the biggest ever tent pole release for a Indian film.
