Baahubali The Epic OTT Release Date: When and Where To Watch SS Rajamouli's Record-Breaker

Hyderabad, December 24 - Maverick director SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: The Epic, the single part cut of his path-breaking Baahubali duology, had a release in October last week this year. The action drama has been one of the most talked about Indian re-releases, and didn't disappoint with a record-breaking box office run, even though the film didn't perform to the level of high expectations. Starring Prabhas in the title role alongside Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Ramya Krishnan, Nasser, Sathya Raj, and Tamannah Bhatia, among others, Baahubali: The Epic grossed over 50 crores worldwide and became the highest-grossing Indian re-release of all time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) After its successful theatrical run, the 3-hour and 40-minute-long blockbuster is now set for its OTT release. According to the latest update, Baahubali: The Epic will start streaming on Netflix from December 25, coinciding with the Christmas festival. While almost every South Indian film arrives on OTT after 4 weeks, The Epic will stream after 56 days of theatrical run. The digital response of this Prabhas-led epic is eagerly awaited, as Rajamouli's last film, RRR, was a massive blockbuster for Netflix with one of the highest digital viewership ever for an Indian film. However, it needs to be seen if the audience is still excited for the story they already know. Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), The Epic is a re-edited and remastered single-film version of the two-part epic saga, The Beginning (2015) and The Conclusion (2017), combining footage from both films with technical enhancements and a previously unreleased scene. The film follows Sivudu, a young warrior raised in a tribal village, who learns of his royal heritage and aims to liberate the kingdom of Mahishmati from its oppressive ruler. His journey involves conflicts, alliances, and revelations about the kingdom's past. Stay tuned...

Pan-India Power Report 2025: Kantara Ch 1 Mints 223 Cr in Hindi; A Reality Check for Southern Dubs in 2025

2025 has been the year of the Pan India Reality Check. The Hindi audience has become ruthless embracing authentic rooted stories like Kantara with open arms while coldly rejecting generic mass actioners, even those starring heavyweights like Pawan Kalyan and Kamal Haasan. While Rishab Shetty emerged as the undisputed king of the Hindi box office this year, other highly anticipated projects like Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie and Suriya's Retro posted numbers that fell short of their astronomical pre release hype.From folklore to gangster dramas, here is the ultimate report card of how South Indian films performed in the Hindi belt this year. Movie Industry Hindi Net Collection Kantara: Chapter 1 Sandalwood ₹223.79 Cr Coolie Kollywood ₹37.23 Cr Game Changer Tollywood ₹32.93 Cr Mirai Tollywood ₹16.86 Cr Baahubali: The Epic Animation ₹6.94 Cr HIT: The Third Case Tollywood ₹4.11 Cr Kannappa Tollywood ₹3.98 Cr Lokah: Chapter 1 Mollywood ₹3.78 Cr They Call Him OG Tollywood ₹3.36 Cr L2: Empuraan Mollywood ₹2.59 Cr Thug Life Kollywood ₹1.70 Cr The Girlfriend Tollywood ₹ 0.60 Cr Madharasi Kollywood ₹0.50 Cr Retro Kollywood ₹ 0.49 Cr Daaku Maharaaj Tollywood ₹ 0.40 Cr Hari Hara Veera Mallu Tollywood ₹ 0.33 Cr Bad Girl Kollywood ₹0.06 Cr 1. Kantara:Chapter 1 Industry:Sandalwood (Kannada) Director:Rishab Shetty Star Cast:Rishab Shetty,Rukmini Vasanth
 The prequel to the 2022 divine blockbuster Kantara shattered ceilings. Delving deeper into the origins of the Panjurli Daiva during the Kadamba era, the film offered a visual spectacle that was both raw and grandiose. The Divine climax once again became a cultural talking point, driving repeat audiences in Maharashtra and the Hindi belt. It stands as the only true All Time Blockbuster from the South in Hindi this year. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 2. Coolie Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Lokesh Kanagaraj Star Cast:Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir.
 The union of Thalaivar Rajinikanth and director Lokesh Kanagaraj was expected to set the screens on fire. A stylish gangster drama involving a gold-smuggling syndicate, the film had massive hype. However, the Hindi numbers (₹ 37.23 Cr) suggest it played more to the gallery of existing fans rather than breaking out to the neutral Hindi audience like Vikram or Jailer. 3.Game Changer Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:S. Shankar Star Cast:Ram Charan, Kiara Advani.
 Coming off the global high of RRR, Ram Charan teamed up with the showman Shankar. While the film's political theme resonated in the South, the Hindi audience found the narrative slightly dated. ₹ 32.93 Cr is a respectable total but falls short of the expectations set for a Ram Charan and Shankar collaboration. 4.Mirai Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Karthik Ghattamaneni Star Cast:Teja Sajja, Ritika Nayak. 
The surprise package of the year. After HanuMan, Teja Sajja cemented his position with Mirai. Based on the legend of Ashoka's 9 secret books, this Super Yodha film connected well with kids and families, earning nearly ₹ 17 Cr purely on concept strength without a Tier-1 star. 5. Baahubali:The Epic Industry:Pan India (Re-release/Edit) Director:S.S. Rajamouli Star Cast:Prabhas,Anushka Shetty
 To celebrate the franchise's legacy, the makers released a special Single Film edit of the two part saga with remastered visuals.While die hard fans turned up, the ₹ 6.95 Cr collection proves that the audience prefers new content over nostalgia trips in theaters. 6. HIT:The Third Case Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Sailesh Kolanu Star Cast:Nani, Srinidhi Shetty.
 Nani entered the HIT universe as Arjun Sarkar. While the film was a critical success in Telugu, the dark, gritty thriller genre has a limited ceiling in the Hindi dubbed market unless backed by massive marketing, reflected in its niche ₹ 4.11 Cr collection. 7. Kannappa Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Mukesh Kumar Singh Star Cast:Vishnu Manchu,Preity Mukhundhan (Cameos: Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal).
 Despite a star-studded lineup of cameos including Prabhas and Akshay Kumar, this mythological drama starring Vishnu Manchu failed to generate buzz in the Hindi belt, collecting a meager ₹ 3.98 Cr. 8. Lokah:Chapter 1 - Chandra Industry:Mollywood(Malayalam) Director:Dominic Arun Star Cast:Kalyani Priyadarshan, Naslen, Sandy. 
Malayalam cinema's ambitious entry into the superhero genre! Starring Kalyani Priyadarshan, the film was praised for its VFX and unique world-building. For a Malayalam film without a traditional Mass Hero, earning ₹ 3.78 Cr in Hindi is a positive sign of growth. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 9.They Call Him OG Industry:Tollywood (Telugu) Director:Sujeeth Star Cast:Pawan Kalyan, Priyanka Mohan.
 The biggest shocker of the list. Pawan Kalyan's gangster drama, despite featuring Emraan Hashmi as the antagonist, crashed in Hindi with just ₹ 3.36 Cr. It highlights that Pawan Kalyan's stardom is still strictly regional compared to peers like Prabhas or Allu Arjun. 10. L2:Empuraan Industry:Mollywood (Malayalam) Director:Prithviraj Sukumaran Star Cast:Mohanlal, Manju Warrier,Prithviraj. The sequel to Lucifer. While a massive blockbuster in Kerala, the complex political drama of Empuraan proved too dense for the mass Hindi audience, collecting just ₹ 2.59 Cr. 11. Thug Life Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Mani Ratnam Star Cast:Kamal Haasan, Trisha Krishnan,Silambarasan TR.
 The reunion of legends Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan after decades was a cinematic event, but sadly, only for Tamil Nadu. The Hindi version was a non-starter (₹ 1.7 Cr), proving that Class Classics rarely translate to Mass Hindi Box Office. 12.The Girlfriend
 Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)
 Director:Rahul Ravindran
 Star Cast:Rashmika Mandanna, Dheekshith Shetty.
 
A solo lead thriller by Rashmika Mandanna. While she is a National Crush, the film's niche subject matter restricted its appeal, leading to a washout in the Hindi dubbed version.
 13.Madharasi
 Director:A.R.Murugadoss
 Star Cast:Sivakarthikeyan, Vidyut Jammwal.
 
Despite being directed by A.R.Murugadoss (known for Ghajini) and starring Vidyut Jammwal (a known face in Hindi), this film was a disaster in Hindi. It seems the audience has moved past the 2000s style of commercial filmmaking.
 14.Retro Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Karthik Subbaraj Star Cast:Suriya, Pooja Hegde.
 Also known as Suriya 44, this stylish actioner by Karthik Subbaraj was expected to be Suriya's big theatrical comeback in Hindi. The shocking collection of less than ₹ 50 Lakhs indicates a complete failure in marketing or release strategy in the North. 15.Daaku Maharaaj
 Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)
 Director:Bobby Kolli
 Star Cast:Nandamuri Balakrishna, Bobby Deol

 Even the presence of Bobby Deol (fresh off Animal fame) couldn't save this Balakrishna mass entertainer in Hindi. The over the top action style of NBK clearly has zero takers in the Hindi belt in 2025.
 16. Hari Hara Veera Mallu
 Industry:Tollywood (Telugu)
 Director:Krish Jagarlamudi,Jyoti Krishna
 Star Cast:Pawan Kalyan, Bobby Deol.
 
A delayed period drama that felt stale upon arrival. With collections of just ₹33 Lakhs, it stands as a significant commercial underperformer for a star of Pawan Kalyan's stature.
 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) 17.Bad Girl Industry:Kollywood (Tamil) Director:Varsha Bharath Star Cast:Anjali Sivaraman.
 A small budget coming of age drama produced by heavyweights like Vetrimaaran. While critically acclaimed in festivals, it was virtually non-existent at the Hindi box office. Ultimately, 2025 will be remembered as the year the Hindi market transitioned from being a star reliant territory to a landscape defined by audience discernment. The staggering gap between Kantara (₹223 Cr) and generic mass entertainers highlights a significant shift in viewer preferences. When highly anticipated projects featuring legends struggle to gain traction while a rooted folklore thriller creates history, the trend is undeniable.The era of blind loyalty to formulaic tropes is fading, making way for a new chapter of content supremacy.

On its first day of re-release, it collected a jaw-dropping number — approximately ₹10.65 Crore net (around ₹12.80 Crore gross) in India and roughly ₹19.50 Crore worldwide — breaking all previous records for a re-released film in the country. Beyond India, Baahubali: The Epic is witnessing a rare global frenzy for a re-release. The film is rolling out on 150 IMAX screens worldwide — including all 34 IMAX screens in India — making it one of the widest premium-format re-releases ever. In North America, where Telugu cinema has seen explosive growth in recent years, the film has already secured strong distribution and premium bookings, with trade reports noting it became the first Telugu re-release to cross the ₹10 crore global pre-sales mark. Early overseas demand, particularly from the US and Canada markets, combined with nationwide premium-format bookings in India, pushed advance collections past ₹5 crore even before release, signalling event-level interest. With massive nostalgia, a unified director’s cut vision from S.S. Rajamouli, and heightened international interest, the film isn’t just re-entering theatres — it is staging a full-scale global comeback, reaffirming why Baahubali continues to stand as India’s most powerful cinematic phenomenon. With its massive legacy, pan-India reach, and a freshly crafted single-cut version of the two-part saga by S. S. Rajamouli — starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, and Anushka Shetty — this re-release isn’t just another entry; it’s poised to rewrite the entire leaderboard and firmly claim the title of India’s biggest re-release phenomenon.

Baahubali The Epic Advance bookings legacy and everything around the re-release

A decade after rewriting Indian cinema’s boundaries S. S. Rajamouli’s Baahubali returns to theatres as Baahubali: The Epic — a single, re-edited, remastered presentation of the duology that made Indian cinema gasp and global audiences sit up. The re-cut compresses the sprawling saga of Mahishmati into a tight cinematic experience while preserving the grand battles, sweeping visuals and the emotional core that transformed the franchise into a cultural milestone. The film follows the two-generation arc — the rise of the legendary Amarendra/Baahubali, the betrayal that shatters a kingdom, and the son who avenges and redeems his mother and people. Baahubali: The Epic is more than a re-run: it’s a curated anniversary presentation Rajamouli has personally supervised the re-edit, sharpening visuals, enhancing sound, and pacing the story for a tighter cinematic flow. With high-end digital restoration and 4K remastering, Baahubali: The Epic promises an even grander viewing experience, especially for those who missed it in theatres during its original run. The ensemble remains the film’s spine: Prabhas in the lead(s), Rana Daggubati as Bhallaladeva, Anushka Shetty as Devasena, Tamannaah, Ramya Krishna, Sathyaraj, Nassar and others populate the royal and rebel courts. The film is directed by S. S. Rajamouli, produced by Arka Media Works (Shobu Yarlagadda & Prasad Devineni), with music by M. M. Keeravani and cinematography by K. K. Senthil Kumar. Visual-effects supervision, episodic worldbuilding and a host of VFX houses were central to the film’s look. Baahubali’s scale was engineered over long preproduction and heavy practical-set work. Production designer Sabu Cyril (and the art & concept team) built vast palace sets and engineered elaborate war-stage pieces; previsualization and large-scale battle staging were significant line items. The film’s extensive preproduction spanned several months, with massive battle sequences requiring meticulous planning and costing lakhs per day to stage. — Indian Express noted that certain war sequences cost about ₹1 crore every four days, and millions were invested in previsualization to get the action right. While The official teasers and trailers for the re-release leaned into nostalgia: restored battle imagery, refocused story beats, and a promise of “one uninterrupted epic the advance booking response has been nothing short of phenomenal. According to trade sources, Baahubali: The Epic has grossed over ₹5 crore in advance bookings worldwide, with nearly ₹2.5 crore coming from India and another ₹2.5 crore from overseas markets. In the U.S. alone, pre-sales touched nearly ₹1.8 crore, reaffirming the franchise’s global pull even years after its original release. The first installment, Baahubali: The Beginning (2015), was made on a grand budget of ₹180 crore and went on to collect over ₹650 crore worldwide, setting a new benchmark for Telugu cinema. Its sequel, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), mounted on an even larger scale with a ₹250 crore budget, became a cultural phenomenon — earning around ₹1,788.06 crore globally and holding the title of one of India’s biggest hits ever.Together, the two parts — made with a combined production cost of nearly ₹430 crore — created an unparalleled cinematic universe that continues to inspire filmmakers and captivate audiences worldwide. Baahubali: The Epic arrives as both celebration and commercial event: a remastered single-film presentation that has already registered substantial advance interest.Social media is buzzing with throwback posts, fan edits, and emotional reactions. Many call it “the return of Indian cinema’s pride,” while others simply say, “Baahubali is not just a movie — it’s emotion revisited.”Whether you come for the battles, the drama, or the shared fandom, the re-release promises a theatrical experience geared to big screens and big emotions.

From Dangal To Lokah: The Highest-Grossing Films Across Six Major Indian Film Industries

Mumbai, September 20 - The Indian cinema is the most diverse in the world with its vast landscape of languages and cultures, each with its own set of superstars, styles, and record-breaking blockbusters. Over the years, the country has delivered rich results at the box office, not just with the mainstream Hindi cinema, but also with regional cinema, where films across different genres unlocked new potential. As the Indian cinema continues to evolve and come closer than ever, there have been certain films which have not only ruled their regional box office but also established themselves as benchmarks for their respective industries. Here's a look at the current all-time biggest hits from six major Indian film industries, which have set benchmarks for their other films to achieve. Hindi Cinema – Dangal (2016) Aamir Khan's sports drama Dangal (2016) remains the undisputed king of not just Bollywood, but of Indian cinema. With a staggering 2070 crore worldwide gross, the wrestling drama became a global sensation, largely due to its phenomenal run in China, which contributed over 60% to its total collection. Years later, no Indian film has managed to surpass its worldwide record. Telugu Cinema – Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) While Dangal remains the biggest Indian blockbuster, it was director S.S. Rajamouli's magnum opus Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) that changed the game for Indian cinema. Starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, and Anushka Shetty, the epic fantasy collected 1788 crore worldwide and showcased the true potential of Telugu films and also broke the language barrier to emerge as a pan-India spectacle, with a large contribution from the Hindi language. Kannada Cinema – KGF Chapter 2 (2022) Kannada cinema was largely limited to its home state before the Yash-fronted KGF franchise changed the game for it. And it was KGF Chapter 2 (2022) that proved that Kannada cinema could dominate globally. With its raw action, style, and storytelling, the film amassed an extraordinary 1230 crore worldwide, cementing itself as the industry's biggest blockbuster to date. Tamil Cinema – 2.0 (2018) The Tamil film industry has failed to match its fellow Southern industries in terms of potential, but it has seen a continuous rise over the last few years. However, despite multiple 500 crores blockbusters, it is Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's sci-fi extravaganza 2.0 (2018), directed by Shankar, which is still the biggest Tamil grosser to date. The film, packed with cutting-edge VFX, grossed ₹691 crore worldwide. Malayalam Cinema – Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra (2025) The Malayalam cinema has been on an unreal rise for the last few years. From being limited to the regional barrier to breaking into the Pan-India market, the industry has made sure that it competes with the giants of Indian cinema. And it can't be a prouder moment for the industry that a female-led film is leading the charge. Kalyani Priyadarshan's superhero saga Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, with a 267+ crore worldwide gross, has become the industry's highest-grossing film of all time, surpassing big names like Mohanlal's Empuraan. Punjabi Cinema – Jatt & Juliet 3 (2024) The Punjabi film industry has been struggling to deliver results at the box office due to various reasons. It has scored only two 100 crores grossers, with Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa's romantic comedy Jatt & Juliet 3 (2024) being the biggest of them. It became the second-ever Punjabi movie, after Carry On Jatta 3 (2023), to cross the 100 crore milestone, grossing 102.60 crore worldwide. Stay tuned...

Kalyani Priyadarshan's Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra Creates History, Becomes Highest-Grossing Female-Led South Indian Film

Kochi, September 2 - Kalyani Priyadarshan's superhero film Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra scripts a major win for the female-led films as it has created history by becoming the highest-grossing South Indian film of all time. The film, which was released to decent anticipation, has stormed the box office by collecting over 80 crores gross worldwide in just 5 days. It has become the highest-grossing female-led film in South Indian cinema history on its 6th day, by beating Keerthi Suresh's Mahanati (84+ crores) as the worldwide total is expected to be over 90 crores at the end of the day. For years, female-centric films in South cinema have been celebrated for their critical acclaim and path-breaking storytelling, but only a few managed to set benchmarks commercially. Until now, Mahanati (84.5 crores), Rudhrama Devi (82 crores), Arundhati (68.5 crores), and Bhagamathie (64 crores) held the top spots in this category. With Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra racing past these films in less than a week, the film has rewritten box office history. The top 5 biggest South Indian female-led grossers are dominated by the lady superstar Anushka Shetty, with three films, which were released in the era of male dominance. Those films (Rudhrama Devi, Arundhati, Bhagamathie) will be miles ahead of Lokah if adjusted with inflation, but with non-inflation, the Malayalam blockbuster has claimed the title. Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Big Moment Kalyani, daughter of acclaimed filmmaker Priyadarshan, has steadily built her reputation in South Indian cinema, but Lokah marks a true turning point in her career. Her powerful portrayal of Chandra has not only resonated with audiences but also proven that female-led films can achieve blockbuster status on par with mainstream star-driven projects. Stay tuned...
