Overview
- The single‑film re‑edit of the two Baahubali movies rolled out globally on October 31 across more than 1,150 screens in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and Malayalam, including IMAX, ICE, Dolby Atmos, 4DX and other premium formats.
- Advance bookings crossed roughly ₹10 crore worldwide ahead of opening, with trade reports citing about ₹5 crore from India and ₹5 crore from North America, the strongest pre‑sales yet for an Indian re‑release.
- Cleared by the CBFC with a U/A rating, the cut runs approximately 3 hours 43–45 minutes following trims to songs and subplots, including portions of Avanthika’s arc, alongside subtle VFX and audio updates.
- Early international screenings drew largely positive reactions praising the large‑format presentation and remastering, while some viewers noted the brisker pacing and missing material.
- Screenings carry a teaser for Baahubali: The Eternal War, which S. S. Rajamouli described as a 3D animated continuation rather than a live‑action Baahubali 3.
