Last week, the country got caught in a 'Baahubali' storm as fans of SS Rajamouli's magnum opus raced from one theatre to another in hopes of finding some precious tickets. A video clip that went viral on social media showed film enthusiasts waiting in a serpentine queue, roughly three-km long, outside Prasad's Imax theatre on Necklace Road in Hyderabad to pre-book their seats for 'Baahubali: The Conclusion'.
The film made a whopping £50 million before its release with industry insiders hinting at tickets going for Rs 600 or more. “In fact black marketeers are charging anywhere between Rs 1,000 and Rs 4,000 per ticket. That's how insane the demand is,” a source said.
