Kalia_Test Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 But Baahubali cannot beat PK's lifetime record. It will fall short. Yes. 735 crores is way away. However both parts together will beat it I think. Bajrangi Bhaijaan releasing this Friday is a big blow for Bahubali. There were some rumors ( completely unconfirmed) a while ago that Rajamouli wanted Hrithik and John Abraham ( the only 2 Bollywood actors with the height and built to play Prabhas and Rana's roles ) to do a direct Hindi movie ( instead of dubbed ). If that had happened, then maybe it would have broken PK's record too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detonator Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Those who like visually appealing films should check out the Great Gatsby: rARN6agiW7o I think it's shot on red one. Check out Gone Girl which is shot on red dragon. One of the best camera I ve seen. But it's completely unncessary to compare this with Indian movies. Great Gatsby is a 100 million dollar movie, where nearly half the budget is spent just for production design. btw, I m yet to watch Bahubali, will post a review after watching :winky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who like visually appealing films, Great Gatsby has the ability to give the "wow" effect Bahubali can probably be compared with films such as Detective Dee, which was made at a 1/3rd the budget of Bahubali ZeMLCCws5m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temujin Khaghan Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Aren't all baz luhrmann movies much better spectacles than actual movies with good drama? Romeo Juliet, Moulin Rogue, Australia, GG GG is his best work i have seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temujin Khaghan Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 There is Indian origin director Tarsem Singh who makes absolutely brilliant movies wrt cinematography. The Fall was awesome. Sadly, Immortals flopped and he couldn't make it to the big league. Even Mirror Mirror flopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Detective Dee is more of a scenery and costume porn. Nonetheless a nice movie. Can be compared to the tamil movie 'I', the scenes shot in china is a scenery orgy :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you believe there is not even a single CGI in The Fall? The movie is really awesome. Immortals is a typical masala movie, still enjoyable.

Precambrian Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Crossed 220 crores globally in just 5 days! Masterstroke to partner with Dharma productions in Hindi.

Karan Johar apparently paid just 10 cr as min guarantee, expected to make at least 30 crore share for the distributor! Yep. It needed a bigshot promoter for the film in North. Win-Win I would say as without Karan Johar promoting it, it might not have made that much money. Those are just theatrical rights though. Satellite rights were sold to Sony for 17 crores ( hindi ). Telugu Satellite rights sold to Maa TV ( now bought by Star I think ) for 25 crores. Not sure about other languages - must be 15 odd crores together for Tamil + Malayalam. Music was 5 odd crores. Not sure about other ways films can be monetized. People who remember 90s will know about the 'Friend' cap used by Salman in MPK and 'Captain' cap used by Aamir Khan in DHKMN - The caps were a huge craze back then among the youth. I have not seen such craze for any such film merchandise since then but guess what - I see a lot of Bahubali T-shirts and stuff here locally - There is even a site for ordering - domestic shipping only so Rett can't buy and there is no torrent version to download :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I expect even offshoots and prequels if this does that. Our own LOTR series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Talking about the Gone Girl (the book / film), it seems to be loosely inspired by the Iranian film - the Stoning of Soraya M. I have not seen the Iranian film though: uka9rKw-mBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulGame Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 From Guardian review : The final 45 minutes roam a vast battlefield that, with its human shields and Boadicea-style murder chariots, makes Helms Deep resemble a punch-up in a chip shop. At each turn, the money’s right there on screen, yet what’s most striking is how these resources have been marshalled – to enhance, rather than clutter up, the narrative throughline. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jul/12/baahubali-the-beginning-review-fantastic-bang-for-your-buck-in-most-expensive-indian-movie-ever-made Box office report: t’s been a slow year financially for Indian cinema, with box-office watchers waiting until late May for romcom sequel Tanu Weds Manu Returns to finally break the 100-crore mark ($15.7m) for local films. Unexpectedly, it’s the Telugu industry – generally a notch down on takings from Bollywood – that has provided the first true barnstormer of 2015, in the shape of SS Rajamouli’s epic saga of a deposed king, Baahubali. Being touted as the most expensive Indian film ever certainly didn’t dampen its prospects (though the $40m budget was technically split over two parts), and early reports suggest it has monstered the 108-crore ($17m) debut weekend record set last Diwali by Shah Rukh Khan’s Happy New Year. Friday and Saturday saw takings for Baahubali (also filmed in Tamil, and dubbed into Hindi and Malayalam) in the order of 135 crore, and*a Hindustan Times piecehas pegged the whole weekend at 165 crore ($26m). Worldwide figures aren’t yet available, but it took $3m in the US, within a whisker of the $3.5m for Aamir Khan’s religious satire PK,*the highest-grossing Indian film worldwide. So Baahubali should have placed in the vicinity of sixth or seventh on the global chart, minimum. Most heartening is that Rajamouli’s film was warmly reviewed: the Guardian called it*“a near-perfect balance between physicality and poetics”, and Times of India said*“the larger-than-life execution matches [Rajamouli’s] grandiose vision”. So, in contrast to the likes of Happy New Year – which the old Bollywood razzle-dazzle routine couldn’t prevent from dropping off embarrassingly – Baahubali has a shot at setting a box-office record for the ages. Or at least until part two, next year. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jul/13/global-box-office-baahubali-minions-mad-max-fury-road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
