‘Baahubali: The Epic’ nears Rs 20 crore in just two days.
Mumbai: Nearly a decade after redefining Indian cinema, SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali has stormed back into theatres as ‘Baahubali: The Epic’, an immersive re-edited version merging ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ and ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’. The re-release has reignited the Baahubali phenomenon, with fans flooding theatres to relive the grandeur, emotion, and spectacle that once made it a global sensation.
Released globally on October 31, 2025, the film is already proving that Mahishmati’s magic hasn’t faded, it has only grown stronger with time.
According to early estimates by Sacnilk, ‘Baahubali: The Epic’ earned Rs 7 crore on Day 2, taking its total domestic collection to Rs 17.80 crore. The opening day brought in Rs 9.65 crore, while special screenings added another Rs 1.15 crore. With weekend footfalls soaring, the film is expected to cross the Rs 20 crore mark soon.

‘Baahubali The Epic’ Movie Review: Is Rajamouli’s re-edited version better than the originals?
Director SS Rajamouli, speaking with Prabhas and Rana Daggubati, explained how this re-edited version was carefully crafted to deliver a tighter, more cinematic experience
“By merging both parts and removing rolling titles, the total duration would’ve been around five hours. The current version runs at three hours and forty-three minutes,” said Rajamouli.
The filmmaker confirmed that several sequences, including Avantika’s love story, and songs like ‘Pacha Bottesina’ and ‘Kanna Nidurinchara’, were trimmed to keep the pacing brisk while preserving emotional depth. The result? A fast-flowing, visually stunning experience designed for today’s audiences.
