When 'Baahubali' got a humongous release and accumulated Rs.21.63 crores on the day one of its release in Telugu states, trade analysts predicted the record will sustain at least for 5 to 7 years. Since they felt the movie was a masterpiece they dared to have got such predictions.
Leaving a huge shocker to everyone, Power Star Pawan Kalyan's 'Sardaar Gabbar Singh', which got negative reports on day one, collected close to 'Baahubali' with Rs.20.52 crores share in Telugu states. Also, the movie crossed the all time coastal record of 'Baahubali' with all time records in four areas of coastal Andhra. In rest of the areas, the movie collected close to 'Baahubali' shares.
What could have been the reason, 'SGS' day one crossing 'Baahbali' in spite of receiving negative reports? Like 'Baahubali' ticket prices were hiked and numerous benefit shows were screened for 'SGS'. Basically, Pawan Kalyan's craze and huge number of mega fans are the prime factors 'SGS' leveling the shares of 'Baahubali'. What if SGS had carried positive reports on day one? Analysts say sky is the limit for SGS collection then.
