‘Baahubali’ mints Rs.60 crore on release day
And the imaginary terrain of Baahubali that Rajamouli’s VFX team has dreamed up will blind the viewer to the film’s weaknesses.
The cost of the movie is pegged at Rs 132.50 crore.
The film has created history by becoming the highest opening day grosser.
Produced by Arka Media Works, the film released in over 4,000 screens in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam. The film netted around Rs 53 crore on its third day (including all versions) from the domestic and global market taking its three day total to a whopping Rs 165 crore.
Collections continued to soar and Baahubali earned Rs 9.80 crore from its Hindi-dubbed shows.
“Baahubali- the Beginning”, a much-anticipated Telugu movie directed by Rajamouli has hit the big screen on Friday July 10, 2015. In its opening weekend, it is said to have approximately grossed Rs.
In its opening weekend in the USA, the film is expected to touch $5 million. The film’s collection increased over 40% on day 2, Saturday. Thursday preview crossed $ 1 million: $ 1,294,451 [[]] {1.80 crore}. “The film is doing extremely well and is on its way to become the biggest blockbuster in Indian cinema”, Raju told IANS.
Talking about the CGI used in the film, Bahubali is easily comparable to the Hollywood greats like The Lord Of The Rings series and even the Harry Potter series that featured entire towns, cities and regions artificially developed to look realistic.
The advance booking of tickets for watching the film witnessed a scramble ahead of the release.

Hundreds of miles from Mumbai, the hub of the nation’s Hindi-language movie industry, a South Indian director has attempted a battle epic that critics say has successfully blended local folklore with Hollywood’s technological grandeur.
Heaping praise on Rajamouli, filmmaker Shekhar Kapur said other filmmakers should be as courageous as him. The crew of Baahubali had during the last month visited many Indian states for the promotion of the movie, which is also attracting people to the theatres.
