Hyderabad, July 10: Ten years ago, Baahubali shook the very foundations of Indian cinema. It wasn’t just a movie, it was a movement. Now, on the 10th anniversary of this epic film, Baahubali: The Beginning, the visionary director SS Rajamouli has dropped a bombshell that’s sending shockwaves across the entertainment world: Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion will be re-released as one combined film titled Baahubali: The Epic!
Yes, you read that right. The saga of Mahendra Baahubali is returning to theatres, not as two parts, but as a seamless, larger-than-life cinematic experience. Rajamouli made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) with a dramatic poster of Prabhas and a caption that tugged at every fan’s heart:
SS Rajamouli Marks 10 Years of Baahubali with a Grand Two-Part Recut Release in 2025
“Baahubali…The beginning of many journeys. Countless memories. Endless inspiration. It’s been 10 years. Marking this special milestone with #BaahubaliTheEpic, a two-part combined film. In theatres worldwide on October 31, 2025.”
The Beginning and The Conclusion Unite — Baahubali: The Epic to Hit Screens Worldwide
Fans of Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, and Tamannaah Bhatia are rejoicing at this mega re-release. The two-part saga will be shown as one monumental film, dubbed in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi. While some fans questioned the absence of a Kannada version, many flooded the post with nostalgia and excitement:
“Ten glorious years of the masterpiece from #SSRajamouli.”
“Super excited for the trim version.”
A Cinematic Revolution
When Baahubali: The Beginning hit theatres in 2015, it wasn’t just another period film. It changed how India looked at its own stories. Released just a week before Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan, it still held its own, signaling a shift in the audience’s taste for high-concept, pan-India storytelling.
Rajamouli redefined heroism with Prabhas’s Baahubali,not the typical anti-hero seen in Hindi or Bhojpuri films, but a noble warrior who echoed the values of Indian mythology. Critics and scholars alike have drawn parallels to Lord Ram, Lord Krishna, and the mighty Arjun and Bheem of the Mahabharat.
Box Office Behemoth
According to Sacnilk, the Baahubali franchise has grossed jaw-dropping numbers:
- Baahubali: The Beginning – ₹650 crore worldwide
- Baahubali: The Conclusion – ₹1788.06 crore worldwide
The sequel still ranks as the third-highest-grossing Indian film of all time, just behind Dangal and Pushpa 2: The Rule.
Rajamouli’s Empire Grows
As fans celebrate Baahubali: The Epic, many are also hungry for updates on Rajamouli’s next big venture, SSMB29, starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra, and Prithviraj Sukumaran. But for now, the focus is back on the kingdom of Mahishmati and the legacy of a film that sparked a cinematic revolution.
