With just two days left for the release of ‘Baahubali 2’, advance ticket booking has opened in almost all the major circuits. And, the initial report is fantastic to say the least.
The exemplary advance booking has not just limited to the Telugu sates but similar eagerness is witnessed in circuits like Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Pune, Chennai, Bengaluru and Punjab belt. In certain multiplexes and single screens, the tickets were booked within minutes. Although the film is being planned for a release in around 8000 screens, it still doesn’t look enough to satiate the eagerness of audiences. Similar madness is being reported in overseas as well.
Heeding to the craze for film and requests of filmmakers, the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana govt. have respectively permitted the exhibitors of Baahubali 2 to screen 6 and 5 shows a day respectively. In circuits such as Mumbai, shows will commence from as early as 6 AM, which is a rarity. Not even the Bollywood biggies have able to invoke similar euphoria in North India as Baahubali 2 did.
Considering all these factors, Bahubali 2 is expected to open to gigantic numbers across the world. Do we have the first Rs 1000 crore Indian grosser debuting in theatres in two days? Yes, say trade experts.
