Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is a 2017 Indian epic period action film directed by S. S. Rajamouli, who co-wrote the script with V. Vijayendra Prasad. It was produced by Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni under the banner Arka Media Works. Produced in the Telugu film industry,[15] the film was shot in both Telugu and Tamil languages.[16][17] The cast includes Prabhas in a dual role, alongside Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ramya Krishna, Sathyaraj, Nassar and Subbaraju. It is both the sequel and the prequel to Baahubali: The Beginning, as well as the final installment in the Baahubali film duology. The film is set in medieval India and centers on the rivalry between siblings Amarendra Baahubali and Bhallaladeva. Bhallaladeva conspires against Amarendra, leading to his death at the hands of Kattappa. Years later, Amarendra's son (Mahendra or Sivudu) seeks to avenge his father's demise.[18][19]

Baahubali 2 was made on an estimated budget of ₹250 crore, making it the most expensive Indian film at the time of its release. Production began on 17 December 2015 at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. The cinematography was handled by K. K. Senthil Kumar, with editing by Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao. The production design was created by Sabu Cyril, while the action sequences were choreographed by King Solomon, Lee Whittaker, and Kecha Khamphakdee.[20] Visual effects were designed by Makuta VFX, with contributions from Adel Adili and Pete Draper. The music and background score were composed by M. M. Keeravani. The film was released on 28 April 2017 in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam, and later dubbed in Japanese, Russian and Chinese. It was available in conventional 2D and IMAX formats and was the first Telugu film to release in 4K High Definition format.[21]

Baahubali 2 was one of the most anticipated films of 2017, primarily due to the massive cliffhanger ending of its predecessor.[22][23] The film premiered on over 9,000 screens worldwide, with 6,500 screens in India, setting a record for the widest release of an Indian film.[24][25] Upon its release, Baahubali 2 like its predecessor, received widespread acclaim for S. S. Rajamouli's direction, the story, cinematography, themes, visual effects, music, action sequences, acting and emotional depth.[26] The film grossed over ₹1810.60 crore worldwide, briefly becoming the highest grossing Indian film of all time, surpassing PK (2014). It collected approximately ₹792 crore worldwide within the first six days and became the first Indian film to gross over ₹1,000 crore within just ten days. Within India, it set numerous records, becoming the highest-grossing film in Hindi, as well as in its original Telugu language. It is the highest-grossing film in India, the highest grossing Telugu film, the highest grossing South Indian film, and the second highest-grossing Indian film worldwide.[6] The film sold over 10 crore tickets during its box office run, marking the highest estimated admissions for any film in India since Sholay (1975).[27][28] It also holds a spot in the top 50 highest-grossing films worldwide, not including English-language productions.

Baahubali 2 along with its predecessor is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential films in Indian Cinema.[29][30] It made a lasting impact on Indian filmmaking process, humongous budget, high-end action sequences, a massive canvas and film franchise phenomenon.[31][32][33][34][35] The film won the Saturn Award for Best International Film and three National Film Awards: Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment, Best Special Effects and Best Stunt Choreographer. The Baahubali franchise also pioneered the pan-Indian film movement by dubbing the same film in multiple languages instead of remaking it.[36]
