Baahubali: The Epic

The movie is releasing worldwide on Friday, October 31, 2025. International premieres have already started with huge excitement. This re-release is more than just a trip down memory lane. It is a completely new cinematic experience for fans.

What Exactly is “Baahubali: The Epic”?

⚔️ Many people have seen the original two films: “Baahubali: The Beginning” (2015) and “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion” (2017). The total runtime of these two films was over five hours. The new release, “Baahubali: The Epic,” is a single, condensed version.

The Grand Re-editing

• One Continuous Story: Director Rajamouli has re-edited both parts into a single, cohesive movie. The new runtime is about 3 hours and 45 minutes.
• Tighter Narrative: Over 100 minutes of footage have been trimmed. This makes the story flow faster and feel more intense.
• Trimmed Scenes: To keep the focus only on the main plot, some scenes have been removed. This includes parts of the love story between Shivudu and Avanthika. Some popular songs were also cut out to keep the pace tight. The focus is now purely on the saga of the throne.

Technical Overhaul and Enhancements

• Remastered Visuals: The film has gone through a complete visual overhaul. The production team worked for months to enhance the colour grading and dynamics. The visuals will look sharper and better than before on the big screen.
• Dolby Atmos Sound: The sound has been upgraded to Dolby Atmos. This will make the battle scenes and background music feel much more powerful and immersive in the theatre.
• New Formats: This epic movie will be available in multiple formats for the first time. You can watch it in IMAX, Dolby, ICE Immersive, and more. This ensures a true high-quality cinema experience.

The Epic Saga in One Sitting (Plot Summary)

The story remains a powerful tale of two cousins. It is a story of rivalry, betrayal, and a rightful heir.

• The Characters: The film features the same stellar cast. Prabhas as Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali, Rana Daggubati as the villain Bhallaladeva, Anushka Shetty as Devasena, and Ramya Krishnan as Sivagami.
• The Story Core: The movie tells the journey of Mahendra Baahubali (Shivudu). He is raised in a village, unaware of his royal past. He climbs the mighty waterfall and learns the truth about his father, Amarendra Baahubali.
• The Big Reveal: The film will show the full flashback. It will answer the famous question: “Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?” Finally, the hero takes back his throne from the evil Bhallaladeva.
