Baahubali 2 earns more than Rs 1500 cr

India's most successful and talked about movie Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has reached a milestone in the cinema history which every moviemaker would find hard to beat!

Within three weeks of its release, the Prabhas starrer has earned more than Rs 1,500 crore worldwide.

Till Wednesday, the movie earned Rs 1475 crore worldwide, according to a tweet by Indian movie industry tracker Ramesh Bala.


And on Thursday, the movie earned more than Rs 25 crore, according to trade pundits, thereby reaching the historical Rs 1,500 crore earning mark which no other movie has not achieved yet.

Directed by SS Rajamouli, the film has Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Ramya Krishnan as other actors.

The movie entered the Rs 1000 crore club on May 7, 2017. It was released worldwide on more than 9,000 screens on April 28.

According to the movie reviews on several media platforms, the film is much more grandeur than its prequel with incredible visual effects, high voltage drama, strong plot and some mind-blowing fighting sequences.

The movie has proved the predictions of almost all trade pundits wrong. 

Earlier, trade analysts predicted that the movie would outdo its prequel Bahubali - The Beginning and rake in around Rs 1,000 crore at the box-office.

The main reason behind the success was the solving of the mystery: Why Kattappa killed Baahubali?

But when reviews started pouring, it proved to be much more than the mystery.

It was all about the marvellous storytelling by SS Rajamouli, which drew audience to theatres.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh also applauded the second part of the movie.

Going by his tweets, one can only say Adarsh was bold over by the movie's story but he may not have thought the magnum opus will cross the Rs 1500 crore mark in three weeks. But now, it may be all set to cross the Rs 2,000 crore mark on the boxoffice.
