This marks the biggest opening for an Indian re-release, both in India and worldwide.

The record previously was held by Sanam Teri Kasam, which grossed Rs. 19 crore in India and worldwide, as that film had no release or business overseas.

Most of the business of Baahubali: The Epiccame from the original Telugu version, while the dubbed Hindi and Tamil versions performed modestly.

The Telugu states grossed over Rs. 15 crore. There was a drop after the first day of Rs. 8 crore, with Sunday collecting less than half at Rs. 3 crore.

This, however, is better than other Telugu re-releases, which are generally one-day events, while here the film had collections over the weekend as well.

Since there is a drop in business over the weekend, it’s uncertain whether the film can overtake Sanam Teri Kasam (Rs. 40 crore) as the highest-grossing re-release in India, despite having a sizeable early lead after the weekend. The slowdown also means that Pushpa 2 can retain its crown for the highest-grossing film of all time in India. Baahubali 2 would have required this re-release to earn around Rs. 60 crore, which seems out of reach now.
