We cannot see anything bigger than this in next three to four years for sure. ‘Bahubali’ made Telugu people feel so proud. As the big day is nearing by, almost everywhere theater owners have opened the advance booking counters. For those who are waiting for online bookings, you may have to wait for next week because within minutes after the openings, everywhere the tickets were sold out in minutes.
Please, don’t talk about benefit shows… people are ready to buy the tickets even at shocking price of Rs.5000 to 10,000 per ticket. Definitely, huge rush at booking counters was expected earlier but not of this scale for sure. We are flown in with reports that, audience are standing in queues at single screens for nearly six to seven hours to block their tickets for any show available.
May it be college students or family audience or software professionals, the response is same. If trade analysts begin to accumulate the revenues from benefit shows and advance bookings, they are to surprise us with pre release collection reports. Next one week to ten days, entire India is to speak only on one topic and that’s ‘Bahubali.’
