It is becoming a race between Dangal and Baahubali as to which is to become the highest grossing Indian movie of all time. First, it was Dangal who earned a lot of money at the box office, and broke Aamir Khan’s own previously held highest grossing Indian film record with PK. Then Baahubali 2 released earlier this year, and broke all kinds of records and is currently the highest grossing India film domestically. It also was the first Indian movie to cross Rs 1000 crores at the global box office. Then Dangal entered China, and the rest is history. It becomes such a rage there it broke the records of some very popular Hollywood movies, and became the first Indian movie to reach Rs 2000 crores. It also became the highest Indian grosser of all time globally.
And now it is time for Baahubali 2 to set that record straight, or at least give a proper challenge to that record. Although Baahubali 2 will only release in mainland China (not the restaurant, please…) in September, it is releasing in Taiwan today for its second round of global screenings. With Tubelight not making much of an impact, we believe the distributors would want to push Baahubali 2 more into the international market.
Baahubali 2 is directed by SS Rajamouli and stars Prabhas in the lead. Anushka Shetty, Tamanaah Bhatia, Rana Daggubati, Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj, Nasser and Rohini form the main cast. The first movie was released in 2015, and was a decent blockbuster, but the sequel managed to exceed all kind of expectations and become an instant blockbuster. It also received high praise from the critics and is still running successfully in theatres.
