Baahubali: The Epic Box Office Collection Day 1

SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Epic has made a powerful start at the box office, collecting ₹6.22 crore across all languages on its opening day, according to early estimates.

The re-edited and remastered version of the director’s blockbuster saga is now poised to cross the ₹10 crore mark in the coming days.

Theatre Occupancy in South India

The film’s Telugu (2D) version saw strong occupancy levels in key southern regions. Morning shows registered 53.02% attendance, which rose to 59.36% in the afternoon and peaked at 65.18% in the evening, before night shows’ data was recorded.

Among the main centres, Kakinada led with 79.67% occupancy, followed by Warangal at 77.67%, Vizag-Visakhapatnam at 69.33%, and Vijayawada at 65%. Hyderabad and Guntur also performed well, posting 64% and 64.67% respectively.

While metropolitan regions outside the Telugu belt such as Mumbai (15.33%) and the National Capital Region (15%) recorded modest turnouts, southern markets drove the bulk of earnings, reaffirming the film’s enduring appeal among Telugu-speaking audiences. Bengaluru (43.33%) and Chennai (56.33%) also contributed significantly to the day’s performance.
