Bajrangi Bhaijaan Vs Baahubali: Who won the box office race?
And the winner is...
Every year Bollywood looks towards its superstars to deliver blockbusters so that the industry can benefit from it. This year, there were only sporadic successes. While Piku andTanu Weds Manu Returns were gamechangers,Baahubali and Bajrangi Bhaijaan made the industry extremely cash rich. Even now these two films are earning money to the maker's enjoyment. The records these films made can make anyone proud of them. But it's time to know which among these two triumphed in terms of their box office collection and here it is...
Baahubali as of now has earned more than 515 crore worldwide gross which is monumental. Indian Cinema has never seen such unprecedented numbers by a regional film. It is made on a budget of around 250 cr which is the highest ever in Indian cinema. But Bajrangi Bhaijaan has been made on a budget of 60-70 crore which is nearly one-fourth of Baahubali'sbudget and yet the film has already earned 550 crore worldwide. That means the Salman Khan's Bajrangi has earned manifold and is the most profitable film this year.
Apart from that, Baahubali has also been released in many languages including Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. It has earned nearly 111 crore with the dubbed Hindi version alone which only gets added to its tally. But the Salman Khan starrer was released in only one version and it created all the records. It clearly proves that Bajrangi definitely edged past Baahubali in the profit and share race.
Also, BB is a Salman Khan production so the actor apparently didn't charge a penny. As for Kabir Khan, he too did it for free with a cut in the revenue. Clearly, the film's production cost is completely based on where and how it was shot. In such a case, the return from investment makes this film even more profitable for Salman and others.
Records or no, despite Baahubalis might, the naive Bajrangi Bhaijaan stole its thunder without trying too hard
