But "Bangistan" faced a big threat from "Baahubali" and "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", which released in theatres on 10 and 17 July respectively and have been doing superb collection at the box office. Due to unprecedented demand, the makers of these movies are not in a mood to withdraw them from theatres and make way for "Bangistan".
