The epic story Baahubali is back in a big way with a new show called Baahubali: The Epic, which combines the two parts of the original into a single, seamless theater experience. Already, more than 10 crore has been spent on advance tickets for the movie, showing how much fans are looking forward to what is likely to be the biggest rerelease in Indian cinema history.
Why the Rerelease Is Making Waves
- Unmatched Fan Base and Nostalgia: Even though the first movie came out ten years ago, the series still has a huge impact on culture. The rerelease taps into that nostalgia and brings the movie back to theaters.
- Record Advance Bookings: This rerelease is one of a kind for Indian movies because it has already made over 10 crore in early sales. It’s raising the bar for what a rerelease can do.
- Pan-India and Global Reach: The movie is reaching people who don’t speak Telugu as its first language, thanks to versions in other languages and openings outside of India.
- Premium Theatrical Experience: The focus on big-screen presentations (IMAX, other forms) adds value, which is another reason why people keep going back to the theaters to see these movies.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Even though there are a lot of advance bookings, they only cover a small part of the movie’s run. The full box office performance will rely on weekdays, single screens, and theaters that aren’t in a metro area.
- As a rerelease, there is a lot of excitement around it again, but it will need to keep getting seen again and again and for longer runs to become a hit again.
- It’s still hard to meet the needs of both fans (who know the original very well) and new watchers (who are watching for the first time).
Box Office & Advance Booking Estimate
| Metric | Approximate Figure | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Advance Bookings (Global) | ₹10 crore+ | Based on pre-release ticket sales reports. |
| India Advance Bookings (First Day) | Estimated over ₹5 crore | Strong traction in Telugu states and metros. |
| Overseas Advance Bookings (US Market) | ₹2.5 crore+ | Indicates high interest abroad. |
| Full Day 1 Opening Estimate | To be updated | Given advance figures, an opening day net of ₹20-30 crore+ is within reach. |
(Note: Figures are approximate estimates based on available reports and may vary as final numbers are released.)
Final Verdict
It’s not just a nostalgia trip for people to see Baahubali again as The Epic; it’s also doing very well at the box office. People are really excited because advance bookings have gone over ₹10 crore before the movie even comes out. If the buzz continues past the opening weekend, this rerelease could change what we think about old movies coming back to theaters. This is a time in history that fans and moviegoers alike should see on the big screen.
