Fans of Indian cinema are preparing for an unprecedented return to the magnificent world of Mahishmati. The visionary director S.S. Rajamouli is set to re-release his magnum opus in a radically new format: "Baahubali: The Epic," a re-edited and digitally remastered cut that seamlessly merges both films of the legendary saga. The cinematic event is officially confirmed for an October 31 global theatrical release, having successfully completed its censor formalities. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has stamped the film with a U/A certificate, revealing an imposing, yet exciting, runtime of 3 hours and 44 minutes.

A Single, Seamless Storytelling Marathon

Baahubali: The Epic is much more than a simple re-release; it’s a complete reimagining of the narrative structure. Rajamouli and his team have painstakingly combined Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion into a single, cohesive film. This special edition aims to provide a continuous, epic viewing experience that was previously interrupted by the famous two-year gap between the two parts.

The massive runtime of 224 minutes (3 hours and 44 minutes) confirms the makers' commitment to retaining the grandeur and emotional weight of the original story. Producers have revealed that the film has undergone significant technical enhancements, including remastered visuals and updated sound, and includes selective edits to create a smoother, single-film flow. Reports suggest that while some minor sequences were trimmed for pacing, the epic scale and heart of the story, featuring the iconic roles played by Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, and Anushka Shetty, remain absolutely intact.

The Allure of Theatrical Grandeur

For many movie lovers, the Baahubali saga, from the tragic sacrifice of Queen Sivagami to the legendary question of why Kattappa killed Baahubali, is the ultimate big-screen experience. The re-release promises to capitalize on this nostalgia, offering audiences the chance to witness the spectacular world-building and breathtaking action sequences on the largest available screens, including premium formats like IMAX and 4DX.

This initiative is particularly aimed at a new generation of viewers who may have only watched the franchise on smaller screens. By presenting the film in a continuous, technically superior format, the makers are inviting everyone to relive the emotional highs and lows of the Mahishmati kingdom exactly as Rajamouli intended—as a sprawling, unforgettable theatrical event.

Why 'The Epic' is a Must-Watch

The upcoming release of Baahubali: The Epic serves as a perfect tribute to the saga that truly defined the 'pan-India' movement in cinema a decade ago. It celebrates the artistry of Rajamouli, the monumental performances of the ensemble cast, and the franchise's enduring cultural impact.

With a definitive runtime and an official certificate, the countdown to October 31 has begun. Fans can now book their seats for this four-hour cinematic journey, ready to cheer, weep, and experience the sheer magnificence of Mahishmati all over again—this time, as one complete, magnificent spectacle.
