Baahubali The Epic: Prabhas, SS Rajamouli's re-release sets new day 2 box office collection record

Some stories never lose their power; they just return stronger. SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Epic, a re-release combining both The Beginning and The Conclusion into one grand film, has brought back the magic of Mahishmati to theatres. The re-edited version, starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, and Tamannaah Bhatia, has drawn massive crowds across India, setting a new benchmark for re-released films at the box office.

Baahubali: The Epic box office collection day-wise

After opening to an excellent response, Baahubali: The Epic has shown no signs of slowing down. According to early estimates by Sacnilk.com, the film earned Rs 7 crore on day 2, taking its domestic total to Rs 17.8 crore. On the opening day, it had already collected Rs 9.65 crore, followed by Rs 1.15 crore from special screenings earlier in the week. The film is now inching towards the Rs 20 crore mark in just two days, a rare feat for a re-release.


The success story extends beyond India, too. Overseas markets have contributed an impressive Rs 6.25 crore (USD 700K), with the United States leading the charge. With this, the global total has already touched Rs 18 crore.

In terms of re-release records, Baahubali: The Epic has gone far ahead of all competitors. It now holds the biggest re-release opening in India, overtaking Gabbar Singh, which had grossed around Rs 5.75 crore on its first day. Unlike most Telugu re-releases that peak early and fade fast, Baahubali continues to sustain its momentum.

The occupancy numbers mirror the enthusiasm. On Saturday, the Telugu version reported a 53% overall occupancy, the Tamil version stood at 40%, while the Hindi version recorded nearly 15%, highlighting the film’s wide regional appeal.

Director SS Rajamouli has also reimagined the viewing experience for this special edition. He explained that the new version merges both films into a continuous narrative, cutting down the combined runtime from over five hours to a tighter three hours and forty-three minutes.


He mentioned that several sequences, including Avantika’s romantic subplot and a few songs, were trimmed to make the story flow more smoothly. The focus this time, Rajamouli said, is on keeping the pace brisk while retaining the essence of Baahubali’s heroism and emotional depth.

This re-edited cut offers fans a chance to relive the saga of Amarendra Baahubali, his rise, valour, and sacrifice, in one sweeping cinematic experience. For many, it’s a nostalgic return to the world that redefined Indian cinema a decade ago.

With glowing audience reactions and rising box office numbers, Baahubali: The Epic proves that Rajamouli’s creation continues to rule hearts and screens alike. Stay tuned for more updates!
