MUMBAI (Agencies) - India s battle epic film Bahubali (Strong Man), billed as its most expensive film to date, has released in cinemas on Friday.
The two-part film, directed by SS Rajamouli, was made at a reported cost of about $39m (£25m).
No date has been announced for the release of the second part.
The film, which has been compared to Zack Snyder s fantasy war film 300, has generated great interest because of its "massive budget" and special effects.
