SS Rajamouli's magnum opus has got off to an explosive start at the box office.

In a rare scenario, the Hindi dubbed version of Telugu blockbuster Baahubali: The Beginning has done really well at the box office. Much of the credit goes to the amazing special effects, making the film a visual treat.

The long delayed Sunny Deol and Kangana Ranaut starrer I Love NY opened expectedly to a poor response.
