Baahubali 2 Tamil Movie Review
The first instalment of Baahubali had grossed over Rs 70 crore on the opening day. The movie was released in over 4,200 screens and had struck gold in Andhra, Telangana, Karnataka and the US. The Malayalam and Hindi versions were also received well on the back of massive promotions.
Baahubali had collected over Rs 30 crore in Andhra and Telangana, over Rs 9 crore in Karnataka and above Rs 11 crore from the rest of India to cross Rs 50-crore mark at the domestic box office on the first day.
The second instalment is expected to break the opening day records with ease. The trade experts said the increased ticket rates and screen counts will help movie to rake in big moolah. According to them, the movie is likely to mint over Rs 150 crore on the first day at the worldwide box office.
