This week is loaded with excitement as S.S. Rajamouli’s much awaited film ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’
a.k.a. ‘Baahubali 2’ will be hitting the silver screens. Yes, April 28
is nearing and the movie fanatics just can’t wait to watch the magnum
opus starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Sathyaraj, Anushka Shetty and
Tamannaah in lead roles. And the big news for the day is that the film
is all set to become the biggest release in the history of Indian
cinema, reports a leading daily. Yep, that’s true! The film is going to
get released across 8,000 screens and with that the movie has already
got a blockbuster start.
A source revealed to the daily the
number of screens usually a film gets. And with no other movie releasing
this week, there’s no doubt that the figures at the ticket windows will
be quite strong. The source told DNA, “Bollywood films run on close to
5,000 screens across the country. In South India, 3,000-odd screens
cater to major Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam films. Do the math.
With no other film (Hindi or otherwise) arriving alongside ‘Baahubali 2’
on April 28, the only face-off in theatres will be the one on screen —
between Prabhas and Rana Daggubati.”
‘Baahubali 2’ is a big budget film and
above all, it is released in multiple languages. The opening day
collection is expected to be in crores and we doubt, any movie would be
able to beat that number in the near future. The source further added,
“Even if you assume the film releases across 6,500 screens, the
first-day collections could well be to the tune of Rs. 60 crore. Also,
as April 28 is not a holiday, one cannot expect cent per cent
collections all over, but they will be huge. Expect numbers to be in the
excess of Rs. 50 crore, at least. Don’t be surprised if numbers turn
out to be even bigger since a film has never had such a lavish pan-India
release before.”
Despite of all the troubles that the
film had even before its release, its not going to stop the fans from
watching it. Just can’t wait for the big day! Stay tuned to India.com
