SS Rajamouli’s masterpiece Baahubali: The Beginning, which was treated to a special screening at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2019, got a standing ovation from the audience. A tweet from Baahubali’s official Twitter handle read back then, “Standing ovation at the Royal Albert Hall. Huge applause to whoever came to relive the epic. Thank you London. We will cherish this event forever. Saahore MM Keeravani & the entire team of Baahubali.”
The screening had Prabhas, Rana Daggubati and Anushka Shetty in attendance. Five years have passed since the film’s release, yet it continues to reign as one of India’s highest-grossing films. The film grossed around ₹263 crore (US$41 million) worldwide in the first week of its release. It became the first South Indian film to gross ₹300 crore (US$46.76 million) worldwide, reaching there in 9 days, and subsequently grossed ₹391.2 crore (US$60.98 million) worldwide in 15 days.
Now, the film will be screened as part of Film in Concert at the Stavanger Opera House in Norway.
Rajamouli took to social media and shared a picture from Norway. He wrote, “Can’t forget the magical screening of #Baahubali: The Beginning at the Royal Albert Hall in London, which is still stuck in my eyes. And now we are excited for another splendid Film in Concert screening of Baahubali-1 in Norway at Stavanger Opera House on August 18th, featuring a performance by the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra.”
