During the times of “Baahubali: The Beginning”, the hype and hoopla around the film is quite different. As everyone expected things at a simple level, Rajamouli has beaten all their expectations easily. That resulted in a huge box office surgical strike, and filled pockets of producers with mind blowing numbers. Will that repeat for Baahubali: The Conclusion as well? Let’s discuss.
Distributors and buyers are betting big on this sequel. While the theatrical rights of Baahubali first-part for two Telugu states are sold for nearly 60+ crores, it made 110+ crores ‘share’ from this territory. Owing to that reception, part-two got sold for nearly 130 crores now. So the film has to become a bigger hit than the first part to make all distributors reach safe havens. That’s the target, what about talk then?
Well, hype is definitely huge, but Baahubali 2 is getting engulfed into lots of negative remarks. Earlier when a new poster of Rana Daggubati is revealed, the armour he’s wearing looked like more of modern “Transformers” kind of shield and got punished by movie lovers on social media. Same is the case with Anushka’s ultra slimmed look, which looks like a good photoshop work, as she’s quite opposite to it in reality. Meanwhile there are some mistakes being identified in Baahubali 2 poster as well. All this is leading to a negative talk.
When it comes to first part, people doesn’t know what to expect, so they took every news coming from Rajamouli’s stable in a positive way. No doubt, everyone got that childlike excitement. But as the content is opened to world now, fans are expecting something very huge and that’s truly spinning a tough time for Rajamouli and Co.
Anyway, one big pre-release event and one stunning trailer always have the potential to change the talk and achieve the target.
