Shankar's Power Proved with Baahubali

South top director Shankar's power again proved with SS Rajamouli's 'Baahubali'. Confused with the connection of 'Baahubali' and Shankar here? Here is an analysis for you. Shankar's 'I', which was released as a Pongal gift this year, carried flop talk on the day one of its release. The same talk was continued till the end of the full run of the movie. Even then, 'I' has managed to collect $ 9 M at the Overseas box office which is considered to be a phenomenal achievement for an utter flop movie. 

Moreover, Shankar's 'Endhiran' has stood at all time top grosser among South Indian films in Overseas with $14.5 M nett collections while his 'Sivaji' collected $ 8.80 M in Overseas. 

On the other hand, Tollywood's number one director Rajamouli's 'Baahubali' got released on July 10 and has been rocking with earth shattering collections everywhere since the day one of its release. The movie was reported to have collected $ 4.7 M through its Telugu version alone and $ 6 M including all of its versions in Overseas. If at all, the movie runs with steady collections, it may touch the collections of 'I' in full run at Overseas box office. In comparison, Shankar appeared to have shown his upper hand on Rajamouli getting his flop movie collected more to that of blockbuster 'Baahubali'. However, 'Baahubali's remarkable performance in Overseas shows Rajamouli's domination over other directors of South India.
