Baahubali The Epic Final Box Office Collection: Epic Yet Underwhelming Run

Hyderabad, November 19 - Director SS Rajamouli's action drama Baahubali: The Epic, the one long cut version of his iconic Baahubali duology, has wrapped up its epic yet unwhelming box office run. The movie has become the highest-grossing Indian re-release title, but it promised much more.

Starring Prabhas in the title role, Baahubali: The Epic was unlike any other Indian re-release title. The makers promoted it as a proper new release, and it delivered results to some extent. However, the trade was expecting it to become the first Indian re-release film to gross over 100 crores, which didn't happen.

Produced by Arka Mediaworks, the film has grossed approximately 39.50 crores domestically, making it the highest-grossing re-release film in India. Overseas, The Epic minted approximately 12.25 crores, including 8.25 crores in North America, finishing at around 52 crores gross globally. These are unheard-of numbers for a reissue Indian title, which demonstrates the massive excitement it generated before its release.

In Telugu states, the film scored around 21.50 crores, while the Hindi belt delivered 8.25 crores. Overall, the movie sold approximately 23 lakh tickets in India, which is an excellent result for a re-release blockbuster. It is the third most-watched re-release film in India, after Sanam Teri Kasam and Tumbbad, which sold 23+ lakh tickets each.

Baahubali: The Epic opened strongly in select territories, but its collections dropped quickly after the first weekend, signalling limited repeat value among audiences. The grand re-release — including extensive 4K restoration, IMAX screenings, and a new marketing push — had created an atmosphere similar to that of a major new release. Yet, the finish highlighted that even an iconic franchise like Baahubali cannot fully replicate its past theatrical dominance merely through nostalgia.
