Bãhubali: The Conclusion is...
Bahubali 2: The Conclusion is the much-awaited Episode 2 of the Bahubali saga. It is not a sequel but a previously- planned second episode, which completes the story that was left hanging, so to say, atop a cliff in Episode 1.
Bahubali: The Beginning (2015) (see) was a period film from the Telugu film industry, which was India’s third biggest industry in 2014 and the second biggest in 2005. (Indian cinema: Statistics) It is to date the most expensive film ever made in India. That it had dubbed versions in Hindi-Urdu, Tamil and Malayalam made such extravagance possible.
When Bahubali: The Beginning (2015) was first released it seemed that it would re-write all records of box office success in India and become India’s biggest money-spinning film ever. However, it had to settle for the no.3 spot, which was no mean achievement either.

And, Kattappa killed Bahubali. Thus endeth the 2015 mega blockbuster Bahubali: The Beginning leaving the audience on the edge of their seats waiting for its sequel Bahubali 2 or Baahubali: The Conclusion.
The 2.24-minute theatrical trailer of much-awaited Bahubali: The Conclusion, popularly being referred as Bahubali 2, was released on Mar 15 and it started trending worldwide within an hour.
The film’s director S S Rajamouli tweeted on Friday (Mar 17): “50 Million cumulative views of our trailer, across all languages, on YT & FB. The most viewed Indian movie trailer in 24hours. #BB2Storm”.
[Indpaedia adds: In thirteen days on YouTube alone the trailer gathered more than 38.5 million views in Hindi-Urdu, 36 million in Telugu, and 6 million in Tamil.
[In 2015 Indpaedia had predicted that the Hindi-Urdu version would earn slightly more than the Telugu original. That came true for the first time in the history of the Indian box office. The same has now happened with the trailer of Bahubali 2: The Conclusion.
[Indpaedia’s prediction is that if Bahubali 2: The Conclusion is a superhit, once again the Hindi-Urdu version will collect around the same or a little more than the Telugu version. However, if the audience reception is lukewarm, then Telugu audiences will remain more loyal than those in the ‘rest of India. ]
