The Baahubali craze has hit the nation in a strong manner. In a record-breaking event, online entertainment ticketing platform BookMyShow has sold more than 3.3 million tickets for SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2: The Conclusion.
BookMyShow said that they sold 12 tickets every second a day before the release of the much-awaited film of the year.
With this, "Baahubali 2" which released was in over 6000 screens on Friday, has created an all-time record high on BookMyShow for advance ticket sales surpassing "Baahubali 1" by over 350 per cent.
"Baahubali 2", which is most loved by the viewers in South India, continues to see a phenomenal response from Hindi-speaking markets also, it said.
"'Baahubali 2' is definitely taking the Indian film industry by surprise. The film, even before its release, has proved that its a blockbuster like no other with an extremely high chance of it entering the INR 100 crore club on day 1 itself," said Ashish Saksena, COO-Cinemas, BookMyShow.
"We have witnessed unprecedented advance ticket bookings on BookMyShow as fans bought as many as 12 tickets a second. The movie has clearly broken all language barriers and has reaffirmed that the audience loves to watch good content," he said.
