Baahubali The Epic box office collection day 1: Get ready for the epic saga all over again! SS Rajamouli’s combined directorial venture, ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ and ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion,’ has been sensationally re-released in cinemas as a single film titled ‘Baahubali The Epic’. The film has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response from audiences and critics alike, making for a truly bumper opening day.
Baahubali The Epic box office performance
According to early reports from Sacnilk, ‘Baahubali The Epic’ has made a phenomenal start at the domestic box office, raking in approximately ₹7.88 crore on its first day. This impressive figure not only eclipses the opening day collections of previous re-released films like Vijay’s ‘Ghilli’ (reportedly ₹4.87 crore) and Mahesh Babu’s ‘Khaleja’ (reportedly ₹5.75 crore), but also surpasses the first-day earnings of recent theatrical releases such as ‘Lokah Chapter 1 Chandra’ (₹2.71 crore) and ‘Dragon’ (₹6.5 crore). This remarkable performance underscores the enduring popularity of the Baahubali franchise.
About Baahubali The Epic
This cinematic marvel, ‘Baahubali: The Epic,’ is an expertly remastered compilation of SS Rajamouli’s groundbreaking two-part magnum opus, ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ (2015) and ‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’ (2017). Re-released in theaters on October 31, 2025, and brought to us by Arka Media Works, this re-edited version offers a streamlined experience, clocking in at approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes with carefully selected trims to enhance the flow. The film stars Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, and Tamannaah Bhatia in pivotal roles, narrating the compelling tale of Mahishmati, its internal power struggles, and the heroic ascent of the warrior Amarendra Baahubali.
The re-release has been a global phenomenon, extending beyond Indian cinemas to over 1,150 screens worldwide. This includes more than 400 screens in the US, 210 in the UK and Ireland, and significant screenings across the UAE, Australia, and Southeast Asia, proving that the magic of Baahubali transcends borders.
Annapurna Studios’ CTO, CV Rao, who masterminded the transformation of the two films into this epic 3-hour-44-minute spectacle, shared with Hindustan Times, “When Baahubali first came out, each film took us four months of post-production. It took us approximately 10 weeks, or around two months, to complete the project this time around. But the bigger challenge for us was to deliver the output in multiple formats.”
