At the same time, while re-releases like ‘Laila Majnu’, ‘Rockstar’ and ‘Tumbbad’ performed very well at the box office, SS Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali – The Epic’, which is a re-cut version of both the Baahubali films, has now shown the way how an old film can be repackaged and presented to the audience and this too can be liked by the audience.

,Baahubali – The Epic’ Reached the top in the list of re-released films
The journey of ‘Bahubali – The Epic’ has not been very easy, after a great start where the film collected Rs 24.35 crore in three days including the premiere show, the collection of the film kept falling. However, this film was successful in achieving the top position in the list of re-released films on the 15th day of its release, where it collected Rs 7 lakh.
