    I will like some proof of unhappy khans for my curiosity.?

    2.0 can do more than 200 in hindi belt. Can become 2nd highest grosser pan india.

     

    Isn't it quite obvious? Normally they will tweet and praise many shitty tom, dick and harry movies. Many times bollywood stars will go orgasmic even for mediocre movies but have mostly remain silent on Baahubali.

     

    Baahubali however actually shows the true potential in Indian market. It will gross north of $200m in all languages combined within India. A proper epic movie which includes both north and south stars could reach its full potential to become the first Indian movie to gross $300m within India.

     

    Rajamouli and Aamir khan collaborating rumors if turns out true then that could be the movie (Mahabharata :P ).

    Rajnikant movies fudge is even more outrageous than rakesh roshan.

    Don't know why they do it when it becomes clear they are fudging.

    As for bahubali, only south collection can be fudged and I don't know why how much.

     

    Yes have heard about Rajni's movies fudge but can't comment as BOI or Taran don't report those numbers. But with Robot 2 this might change which is expected to be another huge blockbuster.

     

    Looks like many bollywood stars specially the khans are not very happy for Baahubali. As considered to be a regional movie have broken all kind of records in hindi belt and have relegated them back to no.2, 3 and 4 in rankings.

    Seeing a pan India blockbuster like this after a long time. Post the 2000s, Bollywood became very multiplex focused and the huge blockbusters had become a very rare thing.

     

    Indeed...probably the biggest box office phenomenon since Gadar. And will go down in history with the likes of Sholay, HAHK, DDLJ etc as the most widely loved indian movie by the indians

    If you try bookmyshow even still the theaters are running with huge capacity inspite of piracy (some very good prints are already available online)

    ^ Depends on a few factors....

     

    1. Whether Dangal gets an extension....

     

    2. How much more Baahubali 2 is fudged (It is claimed that it hit 1500 crore in 3 weeks, but it is still 50-60 crore short)

     

    3. How much the remaining markets (China, SK etc) bring in for Baahubali 2.

     

    Both look good to finish in 1600-1650 Cr range as of now... If Dangal can hit 1B in China, then it will have the upper hand.

     

     

    Fudging rumors is there for all the big movies in India. 

     

    "Dangal box office collections: Something wrong? Cinemas hardly full, yet Aamir Khan film’s earnings skyrocketing!"

     

    http://www.financialexpress.com/entertainment/dangal-box-office-collections-something-wrong-reports-indicate-cinemas-hardly-full-yet-aamir-khan-box-office-earnings-skyrocketing/489068/

     

    and some more such articles.

     

    As mentioned these kind of articles/rumors are there for all big movie collections. But many such articles are just for attention seeking as they don't have even connection with trade analysts.

    If you check BOI and Taran (biggest trade analyst in india) you can see they are more/less in same range for most movies (may be 10-15crrs difference)...Except Rakesh Roshan's movies fudge (which are outrageous) while others hardly matters.

    Blomkamp had too much badwill coming off of Chappie and to a lesser extent Elysium that he lost his leverage.

     

    That is true actually. And Scott got interested in directing multiple Alien sequels again in between. Still would have been interesting to see Blomkamp's take rather than Scott's after Prometheus

    Baahubali was an abysmal failure in China. Some in the indian media were projecting this as striking gold. :lol:

    Indian movies have disastrous results in China until Aamir Khan's recent run (even srk/salman movies flops there). Baahubali was not that huge but outside Aamir's movie that was the only move with average success in China.

    As much as i would like to see Mahabharata done on a massive scale with A list actors, I am afraid no one will be satisfied because everyone has his/her favourite character in the epic and it can't be done in just 1-2 movies. Need like 4-5 parts to cover most if not all story beats. I think bollywood should try to adapt Ramayan first.

     

     

     

     

    True. Mahabharata cannot be done properly in couple of movies given how vast and how many characters are there. Needs at least 4 as you mentioned.

  8. Baahubali 1 was loved by hindi audience as well. It did around 120crrs from hindi version that time which was great result for a dubbed movie and kind of unexpected.

     

    But obviously no one expected this to challenge Dangal or 400crrs in Hindi. Probably around 200crrs was safer bet. Katappa cliffhanger definitely helped a lot but its also because 2nd part is as good if not better than the first fulfilling the high expectations which public had from the movie. 

  9. This is incredible and totally deserving. Finally a mainstream movie which is obliterating all box office records in history of indian cinema left, right and center and without having any superstars like khans or rajni's etc. So good to see this one deconstructing the awful star system which indian cinema have been caught with.

     

    The vfx, cgi and effects were better in 1st part. Although with less than 1/4th of budget compared to hollywood you cannot compare and complain. You have to appreciate the effort, grand scale and scope of the movie. The ending could have been better but still movie is better than 99% of indian cinema.

     

    The strength of the second part lies in the emotional connectivity. Have heard many people have been literally crying in theaters during some of the scenes. Well done Rajamouli and well deserved success.
