Baahubali 2 box office collection: The business of SS Rajamouli's film finally slows down

The business of SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2 has finally slowed down at the Chennai box office. In its eighth weekend, the collection of multilingual movie significantly dropped and the new releases dominated the screens.

Baahubali 2 was reduced to just 60 shows last weekend and the Prabhas and Rana Daggubati-starrer managed to collect Rs 7.49 lakh from it. The total gross collection of the movie by the end of its eighth weekend stands at Rs 17.85 crore. Taking the current trend into the consideration, it is unlikely to reach the Rs 20 crore mark in the capital city of Tamil Nadu.

AR Murugadoss-produced Rangoon entered its second weekend by raking in Rs 24.62 lakh from 129 shows. The total collection of the movie stands at Rs 94.08 lakh. 

The dubbed Tamil version of Malayalam movie Puli Murugan was released with the same name last weekend. It had 57 shows in the first weekend from which it has collected Rs 14.31 lakh.
