Box Office: Baahubali Madness Loading Now!

The stage is set for the release of Baahubali re release on October 31 and the film is likely to do some pretty good numbers at the ticket counters. The distribution rights for Baahubali: The Beginning in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are creating a lot of buzz online.

According to reports, the Nizam region rights were sold for ₹17 crore, Ceeded for ₹4.5 crore, and Andhra region for ₹15 crore. This brings the total rights for the Telugu states to ₹36.5 crore.

To put this in perspective, this amount is roughly equivalent to what a typical new release starring actors like Nani or Vijay Deverakonda might earn in these regions. Naturally, social media users are questioning these numbers. Are they real, or just exaggerated? Could the rights really have been sold at this scale for a debut release like Baahubali The Beginning back then?

While exact verification is hard without official trade reports, the numbers seem to reflect the confidence distributors had in the film’s potential. Baahubali was already generating massive pre-release hype due to Prabhas’s growing popularity, director Rajamouli’s track record, and the film’s high production values.

Whether these figures are entirely accurate or slightly inflated, the discussion highlights the incredible anticipation and market value that Baahubali commanded in Telugu-speaking regions, setting new benchmarks for regional film business at that time.
