No Khans, No Kapoors, It’s Rajamouli

When it comes to Bollywood, it’s the reign of the three Khans, Roshans and Kapoors at the box-office. They get maximum number of theaters to release their films across the country. A Salman Khan’s film like ‘Sultan’ and Aamir Khan’s film like ‘Dangal’ could easily get 4350 and 4300 theaters respectively.

If you feel those figures are indeed huge, what would you say when a film could grab as many as 6500 screens across the country? No prizes for guessing that it is none other than Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali, The Conclusion‘. That shows the craze the audiences have for the sequel of Baahubali.

This year, even Shahrukh Khan’s film ‘Raees’ could get 2500 screens and Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Kaabil’ got 2200 theaters. If not for the two biggies releasing on the same day, each of them would have grabbed 4000+ screens if they had independent release. This would be nowhere near the screen count of ‘Baahubali, The Conclusion’. Saaho Baahubali!!
