Baahubali The Epic Box Office Collection Day 3:
According to the website Sacnilk, Baahubali The Epic collected Rs 6 crore on day 3 (Sunday). The movie has earned Rs 24.10 cr in total. Despite a strong opening of Rs 9.65 crore, the movie witnessed a decline in its earnings.
While speaking to Hindustan Times, Annapurna Studios CTO CV Rao, the man behind combining two films into one, talked about the process of making ‘Baahubali: The Epic’.
“Unlike the original Baahubali films, Baahubali: The Epic will be available in more formats, including IMAX, Dolby, Dbox, Pcx, 4dx, ICE immersive and Epic. It took us 2 weeks just to achieve the quality needed for Dolby. The film will also be presented in multiple aspect ratios like 1.9, 1.85, 2.39, which took 10 days to achieve,” he shared.
He added, “There’s no doubt that it’ll be a whole new experience visually because we’ve made improvements to the visual effects, colour and dynamics. The sound is now available on Dolby Atmos. People who like different formats will have all the more reason to watch it. That’s why I believe it’s going to be a celebration of cinema.”
Part 1, ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ was released in 2015 and became a massive success. At the time of its release, the movie became the highest-grossing Telugu film and the second-highest-grossing Indian film worldwide.
Its second part, ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’, was released in 2017 and was also a blockbuster. At the 65th National Film Awards, the movie bagged Best Stunt Choreography, Best Special Effects and Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment.
The story focuses on Sivudu, who is a young man raised in a tribal village. Due to his curiosity for the world outside his village, he finds himself in Mahishmati and soon falls in love with a warrior. He later realises he is a prince and aims to liberate the kingdom of Mahishmati.
