SS Rajamouli’s Mangum-opus “Bahubali-
the Beginning” has become the third in the list of all-time highest
grosser Indian films worldwide, breaking the life-time gross collection
record of Shah Rukh Khan’s “Chennai Express” (423 crore), earning Rs
435 crore in just 18 days. This is the biggest business for a South
Indian movie.
Now, lead actor Prabhas has confirmed that the part two named
“Bahubali- the Conclusion” whose 40% of shoot was done along with the
first part, will resume its shoot from 15th of September to finish the

Round Up Of Bollywood Box Office Collection Of 2014
The
year started on a positive note with young guns bringing in the moolah,
but overall, 2014 has so far turned out to be a disappointing one for
the Bollywood box office, say trade gurus, pointing out at how only
seven of the nearly 180 releases surpassed the Rs.100 crore ($16
million) mark in the Hindi film industry, which has grossed an estimated
turnover of Rs.2,350 crore so far. Hope lies in Aamir Khan's
much-awaited PK.
Whether it was Tiger Shroff's Heropanti, Sidharth Malhotra's Ek Villain, Varun Dhawan's Main Tera Hero, Alia Bhatt's Highway or Alia and Arjun Kapoor-starrer 2 States
- they set the stage for a decent year in the first six to eight
months, by not just recovering their money, but also making profits.
But
the "second half was a major disappointment and most of the films
didn't live up to expectations," Rajesh Thadani of Multimedia Combines
told.
"This year was very bad...so far," he added.
Terming
2014 an "average year", trade analyst Komal Nahta told, "The start of
2014 was good, but towards the end there was a downfall. November was
the worst month for the film industry in the last 15 to 20 years. All
the films, including Happy Ending, The Shaukeens and Kill Dil bombed."
