In 2015 S.S. When Rajamouli’s cinematic epic ‘Bahubali’ was released, the audience had no idea what to expect from it. It would not be wrong to say that at that time many of us, who were watching this film for the first time, did not believe that this was a film made in India. As wonderful as the cinematic experience of this film was, its records were equally wonderful.
After watching the twist of the first part, there was only one question on the lips of the entire country – ‘Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?’ And when the answer was found in the second film, the public saw the magic in theaters that changed Indian cinema. Now this magic is once again returning on the big screen. Rajamouli has made both the films into one film and named it – ‘Baahubali – The Epic’.
The trailer of ‘Baahubali – The Epic’ is here!
Ever since Rajamouli had announced that he was going to bring both the Baahubali films in one film with new edit and quality, fans were eagerly waiting for it. Watching the trailer of ‘Baahubali – The Epic’, it seems that every moment of this wait has been worth it. Every cinema fan remembers the story of the political struggle of Sivagami Devi’s sons Amarendra, Bahubali and Bhallal Dev. But what has changed is the cinematic experience.
Looking at the trailer of ‘Bahubali – The Epic’, it seems that Rajamouli has re-mastered it in a new way for IMAX and other better formats. The visual experience of cinema has changed a lot in 10 years. In this changed style, Rajamouli is ready to show his tried and tested story in a grander style than before.
‘Baahubali – The Beginning’ and ‘Baahubali – The Conclusion’ were two different films. When a film has been made by combining the two, has the runtime also doubled? no way. The makers have officially shared that the runtime of ‘Bahubali – The Epic’ is 3 hours 44 minutes. That means a little more than ‘Pushpa 2’. Both ‘Baahubali’ films are very close to the heart of every Indian cinema viewer. But at that time some people felt that there were too many songs in both the films and some songs were unnecessary. But the reduction in runtime with the new edit means that Rajamouli has also resolved this problem.
When will ‘Baahubali – The Epic’ be released?
This film of Rajamouli will be released in theaters on October 31. That means about 7 days after the trailer. The specialty of this release is that this time you will be able to see Rajamouli’s grand cinematic Bhaukaal on the big screen in multiple formats. This film will be available in great formats like IMAX, D-BOX, 4DX. Watch the trailer of ‘Baahubali – The Epic’ here:
expected to be a blast at the box office
‘Bahubali 2’ was the biggest box office hit of Indian cinema at its time. Even today, this is one of the most profitable films of Indian cinema. Rajamouli’s idea of combining two films into one is very interesting. This has not been tried yet in Indian cinema. On top of that, the release of the film in various new cinematic formats will woo die-hard cinema lovers.
In the South, it is common for theaters to be housefull for re-released films. But in the last one and a half year, the craze for re-release of Hindi films has also been very strong. Films like ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’, ‘Tumbbad’ and ‘Laila Majnu’ have done more business in re-release than in the original release.
Apart from being a lively story, ‘Baahubali’ was also a wonderful cinematic experience. In terms of visuals, it looks stronger than many of today’s films. People will also be curious to see how this story has become after being edited in a new way and adding some deleted scenes.
‘Bahubali 2’ is the most watched film in Indian cinema after 1975’s ‘Sholay’. While the footfall of ‘Sholay’ was more than 12 crores, that of ‘Bahubali 2’ was between 10-11 crores. For these 10 crore people, Rajamouli’s film was an experience which no Indian film could give them before.
In such a situation, we can definitely expect a blast at the box office from ‘Baahubali – The Epic’ once again. If it starts getting audiences and the right atmosphere is created, it will beat many new films at the box office. Now we just have to wait for a few days, on 31st October we will know what wonders Rajamouli has done this time.
