WHOA! Baahubali 2 (Hindi) enters Rs 300 crore club, all eyes now on the Rs 400 crore club!

Mindboggling – This, in one word, could well describe the second weekend of Baahubali 2 [Hindi]. The film collected around 70 crore more in its “second weekend” and what makes it special is the fact that it is still better than the “first three days” of the biggest films of 2017 – Raees [59.83 crore], Jolly LLB 2 [50.46 crore] and Badrinath Ki Dulhania [43.05 crore].

Now that’s indeed the mark of a true All Time Blockbuster!

This isn’t all. The film has in the process also entered the much elusive Rs 300 Crore Club. Till date, there are only four films before Baahubali 2 [Hindi] that have managed this feat – Dangal, PK, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan. Now Baahubali 2 has managed to penetrate this club and that too without a Khan top-lining the cast, a major national holiday in its entire run so far, a popular chartbuster (or the remix of a yesteryear hit) or a known leading lady. It has accomplished this feat with around Rs 315 crore in its kitty already and that too in just 10 days by the sheer power of an interesting story been told in a manner that is suitable for big screen extravaganza.
