Bahubali - The Conclusion All Languages Update
Bahubali 2: The Conclusion (Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam) has set a record in every state across India, barring Kerala. In Tamil Nadu, the GROSS figures are the highest of all time, but the NETT and distributor share are not. Still, this does mean it has collected the most at the box office in the state.
The previous all-India, all-languages record was 419 crore nett of Bahubali—The Beginning in 2015. This is a huge record and can only be beaten by a Telugu film that works in North India in the near future. The all-India figures of Bahubali 2: The Conclusion till date are as follows:
Hindi: 510 crore
Dubbed: 10 crore (Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam from Mumbai, Delhi/UUP, East Punjab, Rajasthan, CP Berar, CI, West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Odisha, and Marathwada)
Nizam/Andhra: 270 crore (not including Hindi)
Karnataka/Mysore: 80 crore (not including Hindi)
Tamil Nadu: 110 crore (not including Hindi)
Kerala: 56 crore
GRAND TOTAL: 1036 crore
INDIA GROSS: 1430 crore [including tax]
Overseas: $59,340,000 [INR: 380 crore]
WORLDWIDE GROSS: 1810 crore
Bahubali 2 Is The Biggest Hindi Blockbuster This Century
Basically Bahubali 2 (Hindi) is the biggest blockbuster this century. In terms of all time it is probably in the Hindi top ten or at least very close to the top ten. The biggest achievement by Bahubali 2 (Hindi) is that 5 crore footfalls have come after 16 years and it looked as if it would never happen because films were struggling to even get close to 4 crore. This film has shown that blockbusters of epic proportions that can compete with legendary blockbusters are still possible. We were in a period that records were being broken every year or two but Bahubali 2 will change this as when in history a film like this has come then records have stuck for sometime. The hope will be that it does not take another 16 years to have a blockbuster of this level. The biggest Hindi blockbusters of the last 25 years with the adjusted nett gross (the older films are adjusted for 2016 levels as there is no Average Ticket Price for 2017 yet) are as follows.
1. Hum Aapke Hain Kaun - 7,05,00,00,000
2. Bahubali 2 - 5,04,00,00,000 apprx (40 Days)
3. Gadar Ek Prem Katha - 4,82,00,00,000
4. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge - 4,58,00,00,000
5. Raja Hindustani - 3,90,00,00,000
Bahubali 2 - The Conclusion (all languages) has close to 10 crore footfalls across India which is more than Hum Aapke Hain Kaun though its in four languages compared to the one of Hum Aapke Hain Kaun and even if we add Hum Aapke Hain Kaun in Telugu then Bahubali 2 (all languages) still remains well ahead.
If we take the 10 crore footfalls it still probably is not the biggest blockbuster ever in India as Mother India (1957), Mughal E Azam (1960) and Sholay (1975) will have more footfalls than Bahubali 2 and they were just one format films.
