Baahubali Fever Grips Bengaluru, Ticket Prices Skyrocket

Bengaluru: Young Rebel Star's magnum opus 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' which is set to release on April 28 has washed away the pre-booking tickets in Bengaluru.

Urvashi theater in the city has planned to have six shows first starting 4am. The ticket price for the premium show at 4am is Rs600. The charge is for balcony and platinum seats.

The multiplexes which opened advance bookings for the movie on Tuesday has sold out all the tickets for the 180 shows within a day. The theaters even raised the price of the tickets. The price for the premium show of the movie at 4am is Rs600. The charge is for balcony and platinum seats.

Surprisingly, the price for lower classes is not less than Rs 500. With 30 single-screen theatres, the number of shows on the first day for the Telugu version of the movie is over 130.

As the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah might announce the ticketing policy on Thursday during the state film awards ceremony, the box office collections of Bahubali 2 is bound to suffer on later days. But for now, the first day collection itself is enough to get the box-office hit.

However, PVR theater in Delhi has charged Rs2,400 for the 'Baahubali' hindi version.
