Baahubali 2 : The Conclusion opened to packed cinema halls last Friday and ever since, the film has been causing a storm at the box office. It would not be an over statement to say that the film single- handedly has destroyed all the box office records held by previous films, in just a matter of few days. And it’s not just the box office, the film has garnered enough critical acclaim too, which is such a rarity for films these days to tackle the critics as well as the box office.
April, is otherwise considered as a dull month at the box office on account of the exam season, the financial year end, the heat etc. But these factors have failed to deter Baahubali 2 from working its magic at the box office.
Lets take a look at what the box office figures are:
Karan Johar, whose production company, Dharma Productions, distributed the hindi version of Baahubali 2, tweeted about the nationwide net box office collection of the film for the first four days. Keep in mind, these figures do not include the overseas collection of the film.
As per various box- office analysts, the film on its Day 6, yesterday, has managed to cross Rs. 700 crores (gross) worldwide, even though there has been no official confirmation of the same.
Baahubali 2 has officially become the highest grossing Indian film at the U.S. Box office, surpassing Dangal’s record. Famous trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted about this.
#Dangal is the HIGHEST GROSSER in USA [$ 12.4 million]… #Baahubali2 all set to cross its *lifetime biz* on Wednesday. WOWWW! @Rentrak

Looking at the box office trends of Baahubali 2, the magic figure of Rs. 1000 crore that had been set for the film before its release, doesn’t seem that far away now, with the film already on its way to beat the life time collections of the top grossers of Indian cinema Dangal and P.K.
And from various trade reports coming in, the second weekend for the film, is going to be as huge as the first weekend.
