Made for Rs 830 crore, earned Rs 2300 crore, released a decade ago, why is this film suddenly trending again on OTT and Google?
Back in 2015, just the announcement of a new film by SS Rajamouli had fans buzzing. Known for pushing creative boundaries, Rajamouli brought to life Baahubali: The Beginning, a project that would go on to become a landmark in Indian cinema. Written by his father, K.V. Vijayendra Prasad, the film wasn't just ambitious; it was visually audacious, narratively grand, and emotionally gripping. From the very first frame, it was clear this wasn't your average historical drama. What made Baahubali such a hit? The cast, comprising Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, and Tamannaah Bhatia, delivered performances that not only entertained but also transformed them into icons. The sets were massive, the visuals majestic, and every scene carried the weight of something epic. Audiences didn't just watch this film. They lined up in droves, watched it multiple times, and quoted it for years. Made on a budget of Rs 180 crore, the film shattered expectations by earning over Rs 600 crore globally. The question that broke the internet Two years later, Rajamouli gave us the answer to the most viral question of the decade: 'Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?' Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, released in 2017 and delivered even bigger. With a Rs 250 crore budget, it earned a jaw-dropping ₹1700 crore at the box office, breaking every record in sight. Together, both films grossed over Rs 2300 crore worldwide, something unheard of at the time. So, why is Baahubali trending again in 2025? Even now, the franchise continues to pull massive numbers on OTT. But over the past 48 hours, search engines have exploded with Baahubali queries, and here's why. To mark the 10th anniversary of The Beginning, the makers have announced a significant development: a re-cut version titled Baahubali: An Epic, which combines both films into one seamless cinematic journey, set to release in October 2025. Fans are hyped, nostalgic, and curious. After all, seeing both parts flow together in a single cut? That's one mighty way to relive the legend.
