S.S. Rajamouli’s Baahubali wasn’t merely a film—it was a cultural juggernaut that redefined the landscape of Indian cinema on a global scale. With Rajamouli’s visionary direction, unparalleled grandeur, and power-packed performances by stars like Prabhas and Rana Daggubati, both installments of the Baahubali saga transcended cinematic boundaries.
The epic became the biggest blockbuster in Indian cinema history and irrevocably altered the course of Indian storytelling around the world by shattering box office records and setting unprecedented standards.
Global audiences were left in shock and waiting for answers when the first movie ended with the famous cliffhanger, "Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?" The mystery was finally solved in the eagerly awaited follow-up, Baahubali: The Conclusion, which showed that Kattappa was given the order to carry out the tragic deed by Queen Sivagami.
Now, years after the saga concluded, the frenzy has been reignited once again. A tweet from the film's official account posed a tantalizing question: “What if Kattappa didn’t kill Baahubali?”—sending fans into a fresh spiral of speculation, nostalgia, and excitement.
To this, Rana Daggubati cheekily replied, “I would have killed him instead”
But the internet exploded when Prabhas reposted it to his Insta story and wrote: “I let it happen Bhalla.. for this!” along with the poster of Bahubali: The Conclusion proudly stamped with No.1 Blockbuster of Indian Cinema | ₹1000+ Crores Worldwide.
Ten years after it initially enthralled viewers, Bahubali remains one of the most recognisable and significant films in Indian cinema history. Even after ten years, its box office success has not been surpassed, and it is still the highest-grossing Indian film ever.
Bahubali became more than just a commercial success; it became a cultural phenomenon and a watershed that changed the direction and goals of Indian cinema forever. The fact that the movie has become more and more popular over time shows how timeless its legacy is.
To commemorate this amazing milestone, the filmmakers have announced a grand re-release called Bahubali: The Epic, an immersive cinematic event that will bring both parts of the epic saga together on the big screen.
The re-release, scheduled for October 31, 2025, will allow fans to witness the classic tale of power, treachery, and bravery in theatres in all its magnificent splendour, just as it was meant to be seen.
Having earned multiple National Awards, including Best Feature Film and Best Special Effects, Bahubali holds a revered place in the annals of Indian cinema. It remains the sixth highest-grossing Telugu film to date, and its Hindi dubbed version continues to hold the record for the highest-grossing Hindi dub of all time.
With its monumental impact and enduring popularity, Bahubali: The Epic promises to be more than a re-release — it’s a celebration of a film that redefined the cinematic experience for generations.
