Baahubali

Baahubali has already made a box office collection of ₹ 425 Crores and is being referred to as the magnum opus of Indian cinema with its spell binding visuals and performances. Any praise that we do will be showing a candle to the sun. So we decided to take a look at the production house behind the great work and their financial performance in the past.

The company has consistently made profits over the past decade, achieving their highest revenues and profits in Financial Year 2010-11, a year in which two of their productions – Vedam and Maryada Ramanna won award for best feature film at Nandi Awards and Filmfare Awards South.

With Baahubali projected to cross ₹ 500 Crores mark very soon, we hope that this is only a glimpse of the great masterpieces to come.
