Meanwhile, the Prabhas-Rana Daggubati-Anushka Shetty starrer is setting huge records, what with 40.25 crores coming in on Monday. Now what’s making it further special is the fact that no other Indian film has ever set such huge a score on its fourth day at the Box Office. Even if one picks up the ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTERS from Bollywood, most of these have had their first Fridays lower than the fourth day of Baahubali 2 [Hindi], which tells the tale.

Let’s take a look at the Friday collections of the seven ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTERS in the recent times:

Sultan – 36.54 crore
Dhoom 3 – 34.50 crore
Ek Tha Tiger – 33 crore
Dangal – 29.19 crore
Bajrangi Bhaijaan – 27.25 crore
PK – 27 crore
3 Idiots – 12.50 crore
The only two films which actually came even close on Friday compared to what Baahubali 2 [Hindi] has done on Monday [40.25 crore] are Sultan [36.54 crore] and Dhoom 3 [34.50 crore]. However, by the time the final numbers come by the evening, it won’t be surprising if Baahubali 2 [Hindi] ends up reigning from the top. Now that would be one feat that can just be admired, respected and savored.
For now, what can be said is that the film is neither a Blockbuster nor an All Time Blockbuster. A new word needs to be invented for the film’s Box Office run so far and the most apt could well be – BAAHUBUSTER!
*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
