In other parts of the world too, SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus is performing well. This fantastic run has to be attributed to the fact that the first film was a marvel and it helped create a huge buzz for the second part. Everyone across the world wanted to know why Kattapa killed Baahubali and you finally have the answer in front of you. Everyone booked their tickets to watch the movie and from what we hear, several theatres across the globe are housefull till Monday.
