Baahubali: The Conclusion to release in China across a record 7000+ screens

The gobsmackingly epic Indian film, Baahubali: The Conclusion has started smashing records at Chinese box-office even before its release. The SS Rajamouli magnum opus is slated to hit screens in China on 4th May, roughly a year after its theatrical release in India. And if reports are to be believed, the fantasy action film will be played across 7000+ screens in the neighbouring country.

If the news is accurate, then Baahubali: The Conclusion has already surpassed the record of superstar Aamir Khan's blockbuster film Dangal which was allocated 7000 screens. However, it fails to beat the record held by Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan that had released across 8000+ screens in China.


Indian films have been generating an unprecedented response in the Chinese market of late. The success of films such as Dangal, Secret Superstar, Hindi Medium and Bajrangi Bhaijaan has proved one point that if a film has good content, it can find acceptance in any corner of the world.

Coming back to Baahubali: The Conclusion, according to reports, the S.S. Rajamouli directed film has already racked up $250K through pre-sales and advance booking in China. Seeing the initial response, it can easily be said that the movie is going to outperform Baahubali: The Beginning within a few days of run.

Starring Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, and Tamannaah Bhatia in lead roles, Baahubali: The Conclusion is a sequel to Baahubali: The Beginning.

Kanye West’s relationship with social media has long been chaotic, but his recent posts aimed at Jay-Z and Beyoncé have taken things to another level. What began as an apology quickly spiralled into yet another controversy, one that once again raised eyebrows and tested the limits of public patience.

On Thursday, West tweeted a direct apology to Jay-Z, writing, “I’m sorry Jay Z.” He followed it with a message that hinted at deeper frustration. “I be feeling bad about my tweet but I still feel I gave my life to this industry… but when I needed family… none of these rap n—– had my back.” While some saw this as a step toward reconciliation, the moment didn’t last.

Akshay Kumar hits back at Jaya Bachchan’s ‘flop film’ remark: ‘Only a fool would criticise such films’

At a press event for his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2, Akshay Kumar was asked about recent remarks made by veteran actor and politician Jaya Bachchan, who criticised the title of his 2017 movie Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. Jaya Bachchan had dismissed the film during a public interaction, saying she would never watch a movie with such a title. “Is that even a name for a film?” she asked the audience, adding that the film was a “flop” based on the crowd’s lukewarm response when asked if they had seen it.

Caught off guard, Akshay Kumar initially said he wasn’t aware of the comment but responded with a measured tone: “If she’s said something, maybe she’s right. If making Toilet: Ek Prem Katha was a mistake, then I’ll accept that.”
However, he also stood by the intention behind the film. “I’ve made movies like Pad Man, Airlift, Kesari, all with a purpose. I make these films with full honesty. They try to raise awareness, and I believe that counts,” he added. He stressed that films like Toilet and Pad Man are still used by the government to educate people in villages, showing their long-term impact.
