India Awaits Release Of Its Biggest Film - Baahubali 2

The makers of Baahubali 2 hope its enticing visual effects will wean Indians from Hollywood blockbusters. The challenge is huge but so is the 'Baahubali' name 'Baahubali: The Beginning' won over audiences in 2015 with an inherently Indian tale of good and evil.It used computer generated imagery to depict ancient kingdoms and bloody wars.

S.S. Rajamouli the film director said "Our audience are our audience. They might be watching English films or Hollywood films, and getting used to it but the blood does not change. The DNA is the same, it is the same Indian DNA."

Agencies that track the box office say it's the most awaited Indian film of the decade at a time cinema footfalls have halved from a decade ago. With a franchise including a spinoff TV series, a comic book and a possible 3rd film 'Baahubali' could be the recipe to draw audiences back to the cinema.
