Baahubali that released in 2015 became a blockbuster creating a massive market for Baahubali 2 worldwide. When the second-part released last year, it went on to become India’s biggest earner globally. The VFX-heavy film raked in Rs 1000 crore from its worldwide ticket sales within its first 10 days. The film continued its dream run across the world, even later, setting records in countries like Japan.
