The legacy of Baahubali continues to shine brighter with each passing year. Prabhas’s iconic magnum opus, which redefined Indian cinema, is once again setting records ahead of its global re-release. The re-cut version, titled “Baahubali – The Epic,” has already created massive buzz worldwide and is off to a flying start with ₹2.5 crore collected from advance premiere bookings in the United States alone.
A Grand Comeback on the Big Screen
After years of anticipation, filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli and the makers of Baahubali have reimagined the two-part saga into one seamless cinematic experience. The re-edited version runs for 3 hours and 45 minutes, combining Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) into a single, immersive film. The enhanced version features improved visual effects, remastered sound, and a restructured narrative that promises to give audiences a fresh experience of the legendary story.
This re-release, titled Baahubali – The Epic, is not just a film—it’s a cinematic celebration that aims to relive one of India’s biggest cultural phenomena.
Massive Advance Booking in the US Market
According to trade reports, Baahubali – The Epic has already collected USD 284,000 (approximately ₹2.5 crore) in advance bookings from the United States for its premiere day on October 29. The film has been scheduled for nearly 150 shows, with around 14,000 tickets already sold—a remarkable feat for a re-released film.
Moreover, the movie’s total advance collection for the opening weekend has already crossed USD 400,000 (approximately ₹3.52 crore). This makes Baahubali – The Epic the highest-grossing re-released Indian film in the US, even before its official screenings begin.
Record-Breaking Legacy of Baahubali
The Baahubali franchise holds a legendary place in Indian cinema. When the films first released, they revolutionized Indian filmmaking through their grand scale, visual effects, and storytelling.
-
Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) broke multiple box office records upon release.
-
2: The Conclusion (2017) became the highest-grossing Indian film in the US, earning USD 22 million.
Even years later, no other Indian movie has managed to surpass that milestone in North America. This unprecedented success speaks volumes about the film’s universal appeal and its impact on global audiences.
With Baahubali – The Epic, the makers are now bringing this masterpiece back to the big screen to allow fans—both old and new—to relive the grandeur in a single sitting.

A Global Celebration of Indian Cinema
The overwhelming advance booking response in the US reflects Prabhas’s enduring stardom and the timeless charm of Baahubali. Fans abroad are treating this release as a cinematic event rather than a re-release. Many theatres have reported sold-out shows for the premiere night, while trade analysts predict a strong turnout through the weekend.
