One of the biggest reasons for the runaway success of 'Baahubali - The Beginning' was that the movie enjoyed solo run for four weeks with no big and small budgeted movies as its opposition. As July 10, the release date of the movie, was not so crazy season for films releases like Sankranthi, Summer and Dasara, no big opposition was faced by 'Baahubali'. Moreover, no big movies of top families were readied for release during the same season last year.
However, it appears inevitable 'Baahubali 2' facing the heat of other big films owing to its release date. As we know, the makers have recently confirmed 'Baahubali 2's release date as April 14. Since it being the summer, the best season of films, many big movies will surely be lined up for release in the same season.
In such scenario, no filmmaker may sacrifice to postpone his film from first week of April to mid May. Nevertheless, given its high budget and on the request of 'Baahubali 2's makers, other big movies might maintain a gap of two weeks for the releases of their films. Whatever it is, 'Baahubali 2' has bright chances to score big due to its unique genre and director's track record.
