Film trade analysts across India are awestruck by the monstrous opening of SS Rajamouli's Bahubali 2 (Baahubali 2), which achieved a record-breaking collection at the worldwide box office on its first day.

After seeing the hype and promotion around the film, Indian trade pundits had sensed that Bahubali 2 would get an earth-shattering opening at the box office on the first day. But they had not imagined the magnitude of the response at the ticket counters. They were stunned to see the mammoth response it received across the world in the Thursday previews and on Friday. They took to Twitter to share their feelings over its performance.
