Baahubali 2 box-office collection day 14: SS Rajamouli's film grosses Rs 1200 crore

May 11, 2017

New Delhi, May 11: There is simply no stopping the Baahubali 2 express. After crossing the hallowed Rs 1000-crore mark at the global box office, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has now grossed Rs 1,200 crore at the box office worldwide.

Directed by SS Rajamouli, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has been made on a budget of Rs 250 crore. It is a sequel to the 2015 blockbuster Baahubali: The Beginning. Actors Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah, Ramya Krishnan and Sathyaraj have reprised their roles from the original film in the sequel.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has earned more than Rs 100 crore in US theatres alone making it the first Indian film to do so.

Meanwhile, Dangal is breaking records at the Chinese box office. The Aamir Khan-starrer has been released in China and in the first six days since its release, the film has grossed Rs 889.75 crore. Dangal is expected to reach at least Rs 950 crore. However, the Baahubali 2 box-office express is still way too ahead of Dangal for the latter to pose any serious threat to SS Rajamouli's epic.

Both the Baahubali films have been made on a collective budget of Rs 430 crore. This makes the Baahubali saga the second most expensive film project in India after Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar-starrer 2.0.

It remains to be seen whether upcoming blockbuster titles in 2017 and 2018 can threaten or even topple Baahubali 2's box-office records. First up, there's the Salman Khan-starrers Tubelight followed by Tiger Zinda Hai. Then there's Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan. And finally, 2.0.

Washington D.C., Jun 7: South Korean pop band BTS and their record label Big Hit Entertainment have donated USD one million to support Black Lives Matter.

According to Variety, the donation was transferred earlier this week, with Black Lives Matter confirming receipt to the label on Friday.

"Black people all over the world are in pain at this moment from the trauma of centuries of oppression. We are moved by the generosity of BTS and allies all over the world who stand in solidarity in the fight for Black lives," the outlet quoted Kailee Scales, managing director for Black Lives Matter as saying.

The widely lauded band, earlier on Wednesday, took to Twitter to show their solidarity with the people fighting against the social injustice.

"We stand against racial discrimination. We condemn violence. You, I and we all have the right to be respected. We will stand together," the tweet read.

The pledge of the donation from the Korean boy band and its label comes during a time when people and celebrities from the industry have come forward to demonstrate their support for the black community.

Several big names from the music and acting industry also observed 'Blackout Tuesday' earlier the week as a message of solidarity in response o the death of George Floyd, an African-American man in the United States.

Agartala, May 28: Tripura Police has registered a complaint against Bangladeshi singer Mainul Ahsan Nobel, who earned fame in the music reality show 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' in Kolkata, for allegedly humiliating Prime Minister Narendra Modi over social media.

The complaint was filed by a resident of Belonia town in South Tripura district who is a student of Pandit Deen Dayal Petroleum University at Gandhinagar in Gujarat.

The complaint was filed on May 25, the person who is called Suman Paul said.

Nobel is not yet a popular singer in Bangladesh and has always been rejected by the audience of that country. He participated in the TV music reality show called Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in Kolkata, earned money, gained fame and returned to Bangladesh. If the person insults our prime minister it cannot be accepted. So I filed the FIR, Paul told reporters.

Belonia superintendent of police Jal Singh Meena confirmed that the complaint was registered and forwarded to Tripura Polices cyber crime cell.

The complaint was registered the same day it was filed at Belonia police station under Indian Penal code sections 500 (punishment for defamation), 504 (intentional insult), 505 (public mischief) and the IT Act.

We have registered the complaint and forwarded it to the cybercrime cell because it is not in the Indian cyberspace. We have started an investigation into the issue, the SP said.

Rajib Dutta, the officer-in-charge of Belonia police station said that as per the complaint the Bangladeshi singer had abused Modi in a Facebook post calling him a "mere chaiwala (tea seller)'.
