The remastered single-cut presentation runs 3 hours 44 minutes in premium formats, ending with a teaser for a 3D animated follow-up.

Overview

  • Advance bookings topped about ₹10 crore worldwide — roughly ₹5 crore in India and ₹5 crore in North America — setting a new benchmark for Indian re-releases, according to trade reports.
  • The film rolls out across more than 1,150 theatres globally, including 400+ in the US, 210 in the UK and Ireland, 150+ in the UAE/GCC and 144 in Australia/New Zealand, with premium options like IMAX, 4DX and Dolby Cinema.
  • Early screenings, including Oct 29 US previews, drew strong word of mouth, with viewers praising the IMAX presentation and sharing celebratory in-theatre videos on social media.
  • The CBFC cleared the consolidated cut with a U/A certificate and a runtime of approximately 3 hours 44 minutes, with about 90 minutes trimmed and audio-visuals remastered for large-format viewing.
  • The release closes with a teaser for Baahubali: The Eternal War, which S.S. Rajamouli has described as a 3D animated continuation rather than a live-action Baahubali 3.
