BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION has emerged the biggest Hindi blockbuster this century as it became a bigger blockbuster than GADAR - EK PREM KATHA (2001). BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION has notched up 5.21 crore footfalls in Hindi in five weeks beating GADAR - EK PREM KATHA which was 5.06 crore. These two films stand head and shoulders above the rest this century with both topping 5 crore footfalls. The others lag well behind with DANGAL on 3.61 crore, BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN on 3.54 crore and PK on 3.50 crore. BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION in Hindi is not the biggest blockbuster ever as HUM AAPKE HAI KOUN had 7.40 crore footfalls in 1994 and there will probably be 8-10 other films topping 5 crore footfalls. 

Basically BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION (Hindi) is the biggest blockbuster this century and the second biggest blockbuster in the last 25 years after HUM AAPKE HAI KOUN. In terms of all time it is probably in the Hindi top ten or at least very close to the top ten. The biggest achievement by BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION (Hindi) is that 5 crore footfalls have come after 16 years and it looked as if it would never happen because films were struggling to even get close to 4 crore. This film has shown that blockbusters of epic proportions which can compete with legendary blockbusters are still possible. We were in a period that records were being broken every year or two but BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION will change this as when in history a film like this has come then records have stuck for sometime. The hope will be that it does not take another 16 years to have a blockbuster of this level. The biggest Hindi blockbusters of the last 25 years with the adjusted nett gross (the older films are adjusted for 2016 levels as there is no Average Ticket Price for 2017 yet) are as follows.
1. Hum Aapke Hain Kaun - 7,05,00,00,000
2. Baahubali 2 - 5,04,00,00,000 apprx (40 Days)
3. Gadar - Ek Prem Katha - 4,82,00,00,000
4. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge - 4,58,00,00,000
5. Raja Hindustani - 3,90,00,00,000

BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION (all languages) has close to 10 crore footfalls across India which is more than HUM AAPKE HAI KOUN though its in four languages compared to the one of UM AAPKE HAI KOUN and even if we add HUM AAPKE HAI KOUN in Telugu then BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION (all languages) still remains well ahead.

If we take the 10 crore footfalls it still probably is not the biggest blockbuster ever in India as MOTHER INDIA (1957), MUGHAL-E-AZAM (1960) and SHOLAY (1975) will have more footfalls than HUM AAPKE HAI KOUN and at least one if not all three will be more than 10 crore and they were just one format films.
