13 Indian films that tried & failed to beat ‘Baahubali 2’ collections even in 2022
Though films are more about art and entertainment, a few filmmakers have turned them into an entertainment business not just in India but all over. Now the measure of a great film has become its budget & Box-office collections, rather than its entertainment quotient, artistic value and technical expertise.
SS.Rajamouli’s blockbuster hit ‘Baahubali 2’ has made some record-breaking collections, which triggered several filmmakers in India to try and repeat a similar feat and break its box office records but literally almost everyone failed. From Kamal Haasan to Prashanth Neel and a few more filmmakers failed to cross the benchmark set by SS Rajamouli. Have a look at some of the huge Pan-India films that were made on humongous budgets and failed to break BB2 collections.
