According to reports, the first-day ticket prices for the magnum opus have reached as high as Rs 1500 to Rs 2000 in certain parts of the country. What’s more, the Prabhas starrer now boasts of the highest advanced ticket sales ever, a record that was previously held by Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’. Considering the fact that ‘Dangal’ was released in the holiday season - Christmas, the ticket prices rose up to Rs 800. But taking into account that Baahubali's release is during a non-holiday, T-20 season, the fact that tickets are being sold in thousands is nothing short of amazing.
