Hyderabad, October 28 2025 — A decade after it first rewrote the rules of Indian cinema, Baahubali: The Beginning is roaring back to theatres — and the audience is ready to relive the legend. The film’s re-release on October 31, 2025, has sparked a massive wave of excitement with advance bookings already crossing ₹ 5 crore nationwide within just 48 hours of opening.
The epic fantasy, directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, and Tamannaah Bhatia, will return to screens in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Atmos sound, bringing back the visual splendor that transformed Telugu cinema into a global brand.
“This re-release is for the fans who made Baahubali a phenomenon,” Rajamouli said in a statement. “The new restoration brings a fresh cinematic feel — as if we’re watching it for the first time again.”
🔹 The Return of a Legend
Released in 2015, Baahubali: The Beginning changed the course of Indian cinema forever. It became the first pan-India blockbuster, grossing over ₹ 600 crore worldwide and paving the way for the sequel Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which crossed ₹ 1,800 crore globally.
Now, as the film celebrates its 10th anniversary, fans are flooding theatres with nostalgia. Advance sales data from BookMyShow and PVR Cinemas show over 3 lakh tickets booked within two days. Multiplexes in Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Bangalore have added extra shows to meet the demand.
“It’s not just a movie; it’s an emotion,” tweeted a fan club for Prabhas. “We waited 10 years to see this on the big screen again — and we will make it bigger than ever.”
🔹 4K Restoration and IMAX Launch
The new version of Baahubali has been painstakingly restored in 4K and color-graded for IMAX presentation. The production team used AI-based remastering tools to enhance CGI and sound quality while retaining the original cinematic texture.
“We wanted to honor the vision of Rajamouli and the craft of cinema,” said producer Shobu Yarlagadda. “The sound now has a new depth — the Mahishmati war scenes will literally shake the theatre.”
🔹 Rajamouli & Prabhas Thank Fans
Both SS Rajamouli and Prabhas took to social media to thank fans for their support. Prabhas posted a throwback video of his training days with the caption, > “From Baahubali to today — thank you for making me your hero again.”
The video received over 5 million views in four hours, showing that the Baahubali fandom remains unshakable even a decade later.
🔹 Special Events and Merchandise
The producers have planned fan events across India on October 31, including live screenings and cosplay contests at select theatres. Exclusive Baahubali merchandise — including miniature Mahishmati thrones and replica swords — are also being launched in partnership with BookMyShow.
🔹 Box Office Expectations
Trade analysts predict the Baahubali re-release could collect ₹ 25–30 crore in its first weekend — a massive number for a re-release.
“No other Indian film has this kind of re-release potential,” said film trade expert Taran Adarsh. “This proves the film’s legacy and Rajamouli’s unmatched brand power.”
🧭 Conclusion
A decade later, Baahubali continues to rule the box office and the hearts of millions. As theatres prepare for its grand re-entry, the king of Mahishmati proves once again that some stories never fade — they only grow mightier with time.
