History

Two years later, on April 28th, 2017, a sequel, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion was released in India (trailer below, right). The film became another box office success, soon becoming India's highest-grossing film.[1]
Reception
The film received mostly positive reviews from critics. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes [2] calculated a score of 88% fresh (based on 17 reviews). Writing for RogerEbert.com,[3] film critic Simon Abrams gave the film four stars, writing, "The action choreography is exciting, the operatic plot is compelling, and a genuine sense of optimism undercuts the geysers of blood and thunderous sound effects that accompany the film's stirring set pieces."
The film was also major box office success. Within six days of release, the film became India's highest-grossing film ever, grossing more than ₹8 billion worldwide ($111 million).
