One can easily realize that success rate of Bollywood in first-half of 2017 is so scant that the industry had to rely on a dubbing South film to rewrite all existing records and achieve something that is not reached by B-town stars like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan.
To the query that whether it is a Salman or Sharukh or Aamir, who saved Bollywood in first two quarters of 2017- it is none of them. A Telugu-dubbed movie Baahubali- The Conclusion, directed by SS Rajamouli, starring Prabhas has achieved the feat by outpacing all the box-office collections.
The film which rewrite the history of Indian cinema has not just dethroned ‘The Khan trio’ of Bollywood, but also set the right tone for Telugu films – all thanks to ace director Rajamouli, producers Shobu and Prasad Yarlagadda.
Baahubali-2 has grossed around 100 Cr on its first day, 500 Crore in the first weekend and incredible 1000 Crore in just 10 days. Unstopping there, the film went on to rake in 1650+ Crore at worldwide box-office till date. So, it’s not the Bollywood Superstars who saved Hindi industry in first half, but it is our Rebel Star who outdid every existing star in India.
While, other major releases in first half of 2017, Shahrukh Khan’s Raees and Salman Khan starrer Tubelight were misfired at box-office, only films like Kaabil, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Hindi Medium and Jolly LLB-2 have managed to pocket Rs 100 Crores by end of their full run.
Post Baahubali-2, several Trade pundits & Box office analysts foresee an inevitable surprises from South and wish that B-town directors get the hang of film-making from here.
