BAAHUBALI 2 HINDI RELEASE USA MOVIE
The movie had low promotions in Hindi belts with no face value for the North Indian audience and was released alongside Shah Rukh Khan starrer Zero. If there was one film that was able to breach the Hindi markets similar to Baahubali films then it was the Kannada spectacle, KGF: Chapter 1. Nevertheless, its Tamil version was a huge success. The film was expected to be Tamil cinema’s answer to Baahubali but it couldn’t live up to the expectations. Something similar can be said about Rajinikanth starrer 2.0’s Hindi version which was a success due to the credibility of its prequel and the presence of superstar Akshay Kumar. While Prabhas starrer Saaho turned out to be a success in Hindi, the appreciation was missing. Kiccha Sudeepa’s Kannada film Pailwaan also featuring Suniel Shetty too went unnoticed in its Hindi dubbed version. But not everyone succeeded.Ĭhiranjeevi’s Telugu period actioner Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019) also featuring Amitabh Bachchan was a huge hit in South markets but failed miserably in Hindi belts. Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has mentioned how after announcing Brahmastra he saw Baahubali and decided to go back to the drawing board to make the Ranbir Kapoor starrer on a grand canvas.Ī lot of other South Indian films also tried to duplicate the success of Baahubali by trying to enter the Hindi market. The mega-success of Baahubali films inspired a lot of filmmakers to dream big.
In comparison, no traditional Bollywood film has been able to cross the Rs 400 crore mark at the domestic box office. The sequel earned over Rs 510 crore from its dubbed Hindi version. And in 2017, the release of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion broke the box office in India.
The Prabhas and Rana Daggubati starrer became the first South Indian film to earn over Rs 100 crore in Hindi markets. Moreover, the movie braved the Salman Khan blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which was released a week after Baahubali. Predominantly a Telugu film that was also simultaneously shot in Tamil, Baahubali: The Beginning worked wonders at the box office in Hindi markets as well.
