Baahubali 2 breaks records

The highly anticipated movie ‘Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion’ hit the screens yesterday. We had expected a roaring response at the box office considering the crazy way in which tickets were getting sold out and that’s exactly what happened. The movie opened to a humongous response as it went on to collect an amount of Rs 45 crore nett in just Hindi language. And, considering the fact that the Hindi version wasn’t released in South, the movie has indeed experienced a bumper opening.

The icing on the cake is that the movie has broken records of Salman Khan-starrer ‘Sultan’, Aamir Khan-starrer ‘Dangal’ and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer ‘Happy New Year’. ‘Sultan’ had done a business of Rs 36.54 crore, ‘Dangal’ did a business of Rs 29.78 crore and ‘Happy New Year’ had done a business of Rs 36.5 crore. Clearly, ‘Baahubali 2’ has won the race hands down and that too on a non-holiday Friday. But, these are just the early estimates and the figures are going to increase further. So, one can imagine the frenzy of ‘Baahubali 2′ as none of Khans’ movies could sustain their power in front of the crazy opening day numbers of this movie.
