As the reports about how it is faring in India and abroad continue to come in, it has been established that Baahubali 2 has become a phenomenon. The film opened at 9000 screens worldwide, with almost 6,500 screens in India alone, becoming the first movie to get such a massive release. And while its team continued to hard sell the film prior to its release, many also doubted whether it will live up to all the hype. But the SS Rajamouli directorial didn’t disappoint. The film raked in Rs 121 crore in India on day one of its release, and a total of Rs 217 crore worldwide. But for an industry still obsessed with entering Rs 100-crore club, that’s not all. It continued its winning streak even on day two, and earned about Rs 285 crore gross in India and Rs 382 crore gross at the box office world over. But it is Baahubali day three numbers which took it beyond the unbelievable Rs 500 crore target. Given that the film has already earned about Rs 500 crore in pre-sale of rights, the final number is mind-boggling.

Women's Reservation Bill
The Women's Reservation Bill or The Constitution (108th Amendment) Bill, 2008, is a lapsed bill in the Parliament of India which proposed to amend the Constitution of India to reserve 33% of all seats in the Lower house of Parliament of India, the Lok Sabha, and in all state legislative assemblies for women. The seats were proposed to be reserved in rotation and would have been determined by draw of lots in such a way that a seat would be reserved only once in three consecutive general elections.
The Rajya Sabha passed the bill on 9 March 2010. However, the Lok Sabha never voted on the bill.The bill lapsed after the dissolution of the 15th Lok Sabha in 2014.
percentage of rape victim in india
Rape is the fourth most common crime against women in India. According to the National Crime Records Bureau 2013 annual report, 24,923 rape cases were reported across India in 2012. Out of these, 24,470 were committed by someone known to the victim (98% of the cases).Some research indicates that only 5-6% of rape cases in India are reported to the police.
India has been characterised as one of the "countries with the lowest per capita rates of rape". A 2014 piece in The Lancet states that the "8.5% prevalence of sexual violence in the country is among the lowest in the world."
According to 2012 statistics, New Delhi has the highest raw number of rape reports among Indian cities, while Jabalpur has the highest per capita rate of rape reports. Several rape cases in India received widespread media attention and triggered protests since 2012.This led the Government of India to reform its penal code for crimes of rape and sexual assault.
