After grossing over 600 crores at the worldwide box-office, SS Rajamouli’s most ambitious film and India’s biggest motion picture Baahubali has now released in Pakistan. The Hindi version of Baahubali released in the neighboring country last Friday and as per the latest updates from trade analysts, the weekend collections have been quite good.
This can be considered Baahubali’s first alternative international release, apart from the traditional overseas areas like the US, UK, Australia, Europe etc. With this release in Pakistan, Baahubali has kickstarted its international spread, while it awaits the special screenings in the Busan Film Festival in Korea, which is expected to find a lucrative distribution deal for the film’s wide Asian release.
With this rare release, Baahubali also became the first Telugu film to be dubbed into Hindi and released in Pakistan. Usually, most Bollywood films release in Pakistan and leading stars like Salman, Shah Rukh and Aamir enjoy huge adulation from Pakistan fans. Let’s wait and see how big Baahubali will collect in Pak and better its overall collections.
