India’s most expensive flick smashes box office records

This escalated the expectations, and the objective was served once the film was released.

So what made the movie an epic blockbuster? Baahubali’s success has put the spotlight on talent from this region as the film was shot at Hyderabad’s Ramoji Studios.

India’s most expensive film “Baahubali: The Beginning” that cost 250 crore to make together with its 2016 sequel “Baahubali: The Conclusion” will get a new global cut.

Speaking further, Venky said, “I would also like to congratulate K Raghavendra Rao garu and Shobu for having believed in the project and invested their time, effort and resources in showcasing the true potential of Telugu cinema”.

But he is not the only Southern director who rocked B-town. Though there have been films made in India without a proper closure, they never garnered as much success as Baahubali has. The film would have probably garnered higher revenues, agree film-makers.

Known as Steven Spielberg of South, Mani Ratnam’s films show signs of his masterclass.

My VFX supervisors Srinivasa Mohan, Pete Draper of Makuta and Sanath of Firefly are highly talented, focused and know every trick of the trade.

Except for the lusciously amusing Hollywood Ending, I have not watched a Woody Allen film twice. Arka Media Works is the Production Company and distributers of Baahubali. Not surprisingly, when Hollywood films such as Jurassic World and Fast And Furious 7 were released to a wider audience, both managed to hit the Rs 100 crore revenue target. These unprecedented records of Baahubali can’t just be attributed to content alone.

“Baahubali”, about two brothers at war for an ancient kingdom, and which stars Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamannah Bhatia in the lead roles, is one of those highly successful rare dubbed films. But for reference, we looked at the period before the invention of gunpowder or fire power.

In what is another first for an Indian film, a special language was invented for Baahubali, perhaps a nod to the specially created Dothraki in Game of Thrones or the Elvish language from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The language was invented for the film’s terrifying warrior tribe, the Kalakeya.
