2.0 is the biggest film ever made in India. The budget was more than the two Bahubali film put together. The film costed 265 crore more than Thugs Of Hindostan which is the most expensive outright Hindi film of all time.
The
biggest films released in India in terms of costs are as follows,
Jhansi Ki Rani (1953) - This
film had a budget of 60 lakhs including 55 prints costs which was insane as
only one film had covered this amount till date and that was Chandralekha
(1949) which was released in 2 languages. On top this film did not feature
any box office draw of time. The film was a huge disaster at the box
office.
Mughal-E-Azam
(1960) - This legendary film cost around 1.25 crore on release with
100 prints and in time the cost went to 1.50 crore plus as a further
175 prints were taken over the next decade. When the film was released no
film had ever recovered the amount this film took to make. If its comes to a
push this was probably the most expensive film ever made in India.
Sholay
(1975) - The biggest blockbuster that India has ever seen had a
cost of around 2.50 crore on release with 150 prints but eventually the cost
went to 3.50 crore plus as a further 500 prints apprx were taken out in
time.
Shaan
(1980) - The makers of Sholay got together to make Shaan which cost
around 6 crore and this sum had been recovered by only film which was Sholay.
No other film had a worldwide share of 6 crore in 1980 barring Sholay. The film
was called a huge flop at the time of release but was running capacity houses
for weeks and eventually went on to recover its huge costs.
Ra.One
(2011) - This superhero film was made at a cost of 130 crore which
was a sum which had been recovered by just 1 or two films at time if we go
by worldwide revenue. The film was liked by the audience but did manage to
cover the huge costs.
2.0 (2018) -
The VFX loaded is the first non Hindi film which joins the biggest budgeted
films India has ever made. Bahubali would also have been in the list if
but it was two films instead of one. Again only one film Bahubali - The
Conclusion has recovered the budget of 2.0 and that was also a multi language
film. A case can be made for Dangal having this recovery but there was minimal
revenue coming back from China.
