Marking a decade since the story of Mahishmati first gripped audiences worldwide, visionary director S.S. Rajamouli is back with a larger-than-life cinematic treat. Baahubali: The Epic, a remastered and re-edited fusion of Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, is all set to storm global theaters on October 31, 2025 — promising a breathtaking, five-hour spectacle like never before.
Back in 2015, Baahubali: The Beginning redefined what Indian cinema could achieve on a global scale. Two years later, its sequel, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, broke box office records and cultural boundaries, amassing nearly $370 million globally. Now, for its 10th anniversary, Rajamouli has taken the bold step of unifying these two cinematic titans into a seamless narrative, complete with remastered visuals, enhanced sound design, and, as hinted, “a few new surprises.”
This isn't just a re-release — Baahubali: The Epic is a full-circle cinematic revival, clocking in at a massive 5 hours and 27 minutes.
Unveiled earlier this week, the official teaser gave fans a nostalgic rush, opening with the line: “Ten years ago, a story redefined Indian cinema. Two films. One name.”
Within 77 seconds, viewers were reminded why this saga became a global phenomenon. From the soaring visuals of Baahubali (Prabhas) rising from the waters to the thunderous war cries of Mahishmati, the teaser stirs the emotions that once packed theaters from Hyderabad to Hollywood.
Prabhas returns as both Mahendra and Amarendra Baahubali, with Rana Daggubati as the menacing Bhallaladeva, Anushka Shetty as the valiant Devasena, Tamannaah Bhatia as Avantika, and the iconic Sathyaraj as the loyal Kattappa. The regal Ramya Krishnan reprises her unforgettable role as Queen Sivagami.
While the original films remain available on streaming platforms like Netflix, Baahubali: The Epic isn’t just for longtime fans. It serves as an epic entry point for a new generation who may have discovered Rajamouli through RRR, his Oscar and Golden Globe-winning blockbuster.
By trimming the excess and re-sculpting the narrative into one cohesive film, Rajamouli aims to deliver a tighter, more immersive experience. The release also promises high-definition IMAX-ready visuals and theatrical 4DX screenings — bringing the thunder of Mahishmati to life like never before.
As fans gear up to return to Mahishmati, Rajamouli isn’t slowing down. His next feature — an untitled globe-trotting adventure starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra Jonas — is already in production. Described as a cross between Indiana Jones and James Bond, the film is expected to push the boundaries of Indian action cinema even further.
Whether you're a diehard fan of the original films or a newcomer drawn in by the hype of RRR, Baahubali: The Epic is shaping up to be one of the biggest theatrical events of 2025. It’s more than just a movie — it’s a cultural milestone reborn for the big screen.
Prepare for glory, drama, music, betrayal, and redemption — on October 31, Baahubali returns. And this time, it’s epic.
