Baahubali box office collections cross Rs 100 crore in just 2 days!

SS Rajamouli-directed period film 'Baahubali - The Beginning', has created history by becoming the fastest Indian film ever to enter the Rs 100-crore club within two days of its release.

"It took 'Baahubali' just two days to enter the Rs 100 crore club worldwide. No other Indian film has achieved this rare feat before. In its opening weekend, it is said to have approximately grossed Rs 140 crore," trade analyst Trinath said.

Made on a massive budget of Rs 250 crore, the film starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty and Tamannah Bhatia is about the two brothers at war for an ancient kingdom.

Trinath added that if the epic movie can sustain this week in cinemas, it may turn out to be the biggest hit in the history of Indian cinema.

"Monday numbers are very crucial. If there isn't a big dip in the collections, then it's good. The film has to sustain through the week to rake in as much as it can before this week's releases, including Salman Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', hit the screens," Tirath said.

The film is released in four languages-Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Malayalam across 4,000 screens with its Hindi version grossing Rs 22.35 crore in India, according to another trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

The movie is said to be first part of bilingual epic film by the director SS Rajamouli. The second part titled as The Conclusion is expected to hit the screens in 2016.
