A decade after its first release, Baahubali has returned to the big screen in grand style. SS Rajamouli’s two-part saga, Baahubali: The Beginning (2015) and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), has been re-released as a single, remastered film titled Baahubali: The Epic. Hitting theatres on October 31, the re-edited version has reignited the same excitement that defined its original run. Fans who flocked to theatres for the first-day-first-show are calling it a masterpiece that feels brand new even after ten years.
The re-release has opened to record-breaking numbers. According to trade reports, Baahubali: The Epic has earned over Rs 10 crore worldwide in pre-sales alone, surpassing the opening of re-released blockbusters like Vijay’s Ghilli and Mahesh Babu’s Khaleja. The film has set a new benchmark for Indian re-releases and is playing in more than 1,150 theatres across the globe—including 400 screens in the US, 210 in the UK and Ireland, and 150 in the UAE and GCC.
Netizens react to Baahubali: The Epic
Viewers who experienced the remastered version couldn’t contain their excitement online. One fan wrote that the movie “felt like a divine visual experience, grand, emotional, and larger than life.” Another called it “one of the most beautiful and overwhelming cinematic spectacles ever made.” Many said the combined version flows seamlessly, describing it as “pure cinema with no dull moments.”
Several users were particularly struck by the way the film has been enhanced technically. The re-edited cut, running for 3 hours and 45 minutes, features improved visuals, smoother transitions, and a few additional moments that make the narrative even more cohesive. A viewer praised the “sharp editing and stunning animation work,” while another mentioned that the “battle sequences feel more dynamic and breathtaking than ever.”
The performances continue to win audiences' hearts even after a decade. Fans praised Prabhas for his iconic portrayal of both Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali, calling it one of his defining roles. Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Rana Daggubati were also applauded for bringing emotional gravitas and intensity to their characters. Many highlighted how the women in the film remain among the strongest and most elegantly written figures in Indian cinema.
Director SS Rajamouli has once again been hailed for his unmatched storytelling and cinematic vision. Social media users noted that his re-edited version “balances grandeur with emotion” and proves why Baahubali continues to influence Indian filmmaking on a global scale.
The film’s success goes beyond nostalgia; it reaffirms the cultural legacy of the franchise. With its record-breaking opening and thunderous fan response, Baahubali: The Epic stands as proof that Rajamouli’s creation remains timeless. As one user aptly summed it up, “Ten years later, and Baahubali still rules the kingdom of cinema.”
