Baahubali 2: The Conclusion completes 100 days in Japan, becomes third highest grosser in the country. Filmmaker SS Rajamouli’s box office phenomenon Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which hit Japanese theaters on 29 December, 2017, has successfully completed 100 days in the East Asian nation to emerge as the third highest grossing Indian film of all time. The movie, which is currently in its 15th week in Japan, has grossed $1.3 million (Rs 8.5 crore) in 100 days and is only behind Superstar Rajinikanth’s blockbuster Muthu – widely known as Dancing Maharaja in Japan – and Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots helmed by Rajkumar Hirani. Elated with the film’s success in Japan, producer Shobu Yarlagadda of Arka Media Works, told Firstpost, ''We are very happy. I think it’s the third highest grossing film in Japan after Muthu and 3 Idiots there. It’s very nice to see a different culture embracing and enjoying our film. Besides box office success, the enthusiasm and love that the Japanese fans have shown are quite extraordinary and exciting. They have been actively sharing fan arts, manga and videos on social media platforms, and their blogs.'' However, this is not the first time that Japanese cinephiles are welcoming an Indian film with rapturous welcome. Rajinikanth’s stardom reached an unprecedented high in Japan after the release of Muthu, which ran for nearly 180 days in 1998 and earned $1.6 million. However, the string of Indian films imported to Japan following the blockbuster success of Muthu could not match the box-office prowess of the KS Ravikumar directorial. The late Sridevi also attained incredible popularity through English Vinglish which hit Japanese cinemas in June 2014. In fact, the premiere screening of English Vinglish witnessed the presence of Akie Abe, wife of Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The top five highest grossing Indian films in Japan are Muthu ($1.6 million), 3 Idiots (1.48 million), Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (1.3 million), English Vinglish ($1.2 million) and Endhiran ($1 million). Rajinikanth is the only Indian actor to have two million dollar grossers in Japan, substantiating his loyal fandom in the country.
