SS Rajamouli's Baahubali (Bahubali) 2 has garnered immense appreciation from all quarters, including the Indian and international audience. The Hindi version of the Prabhas-starrer is ruling the box office and it has broken the lifetime records of Salman Khan's Sultan and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Baahubali 2 has become the first Indian movie to cross the Rs 1,000 crore mark and it is now aiming to surpass Rs 1,500 crore. The Hindi version of the magnum opus has done a wonderful business, earning Rs 327 crore (nett) on its 10th day. It will soon become the first Indian movie to cross Rs 400 crore (nett) within two weeks of its release.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted: "The #Baahubali2 wave remains SUPER-STRONG... Collects a MASSIVE ₹ 80.75 cr in Weekend 2, taking its 10-day total to ₹ 327.75 cr. HINDI."
The first weekend collection of Baahubali The Conclusion was Rs 128 crore. Although the second weekend saw a decline of 36.91 percent, it will not make a big difference. Baahubali 2 is expected to touch Rs 400 crore by the end of its third week.
It has, however, overtaken the lifetime collection of Sultan and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. And now, it's aiming to beat Dangal and PK's record.
