Baahubali 2 - The Conclusion 50 day box office collection: SS Rajamouli's film nears Rs 1700 cr


The film recently added another feather to its cap when its Hindi version became the first Indian film to cross the Rs 500 crore mark at the box office. It has been giving tough competition to every single film that has released in the past two 50 days. When Baahubali 2 released on 28 April 2017, the list of highest earning Indian films stood something like this:  Aamir Khan's PK was on the top slot with Rs 792 crore in box office collections. It was followed by Khan's Dangal and then, Baahubali: The Beginning. Much has been said and written about Baahubali 2's unprecedented success in the time since its release — it is the Indian film to have made the fastest Rs 100 crore; it was the first Indian film to reach the $100 million mark; it was the first Indian film to cross Rs 1,500 crore.
The film is going to head with Nitesh Tiwari's sports biopic from last year, Dangal, starring Aamir Khan. While Dangal has an edge globally over Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, owing to its release in China, the country could prove to be a game changer as Rajamouli's film is yet to release there.

While some argue that Dangal did exceedingly well in China owing to Aamir Khan's popularity after the release of Rajkumar Hirani's PK and 3 Idiots, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion may not get the same kind of reception. But its global appeal, along with the earth shattering popularity of an Indian film there, could catapult Baahubali 2: The Conclusion to a height that it can outdo the box office supremacy of Dangal at the global box office.

Meanwhile, its producers are angling for an optimal China release. Initial news stories indicate that the film could release across 6,000 screens there.

The release of Baahubali: The Beginning had been delayed in China (because the quota for the number of non-Mandarin films allowed to be screened per year in the country had already been filled at the time) and it's performance was less than impressive. With Baahubali 2, the makers are hoping to avoid their previous mistakes, and have the film perform significantly better.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion stars Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah Bhatia, Anushka Shetty, Sathyaraj, Nassar and Ramya Krishnan. It is produced by Shobu Yarlagadda and Deviprasad Srineni's Arka Mediaworks. Its Hindi version was distributed and marketed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

Fiio EX1 2nd gen in-ear monitor review: This second generation set makes quite a mark

Fiio EX1 2nd gen in-ear monitor review: This second generation set makes quite a mark In-ear monitors (IEM) are the perfect travel companion. These tiny little ear-phones are meant to be nestled snugly in your ears while they transport you to a world of audio nirvana. Well, that’s the theory anyway. It’s not easy to make good IEMs. Many manufacturers end up making devices that sound too tinny, too harsh or too bass heavy. Finding that right balance of performance is hard. With the Fiio Ex1 2nd Gen, Fiio is hoping to hit the right notes. Build and design 7.5/10 When it comes to build quality, the set is rather well-built. The earpiece shells are made of metal and feel nice. The cable is also covered in some kind of stiff material that feels like plastic, but the stiffness means that it doesn’t tangle so easily. It does get tangled, but less often than, say, Apple’s EarPods. The one complaint I have is with the mic unit. While the housing itself is solid and the buttons click...
