The kingdom of Mahishmati does look spectacularly amazeballs & the perfectly built huge sets do make an impression. It shouldn’t be too hard to guess what happens next.

Funny thing is that his captured mother (Anushka Shetty), who herself looks in her 30’s having perfectly chiselled nails, waits for 25 years for his rumoured dead son (Baahubali) to free her. Soon he learns about his true identity and estranged blood mother after his arrival in the kingdom of Mahishmati and tries to rescue his mother from the ruler-cum-cousin, the savvy Palvaalthevan (Rana Daggubati) reigning over the kingdom of Mahishmati. Be it deracinating Shiva lingam and carrying it under the waterfall followed by breaking into a dance, or falling many a time while mounting the waterfall and still be alive without a scratch, or gliding through the forest like Mowgli while saving his arse or gently providing Tammana’s character Avanthika a makeover that eventually makes her fall for his innocent charm. The first half of the film is invested in showing the prowess of demi-God Baahubali who seems to believe that there exists nothing like impossible. The principal character, Baahubali, is raised by the residents of a certain village as Shivudu after they find him floating in the river, at the foot of a gigantic and visually spellbinding waterfall that can put even Niagara Falls to shame. It is definitely an ambitious work of cinema that deals with an age-long rivalry between cousins of the royal family of Mahishmati and the related politics which spanned over generations. Rajamouli who ascended to fame with his two epic fantasy films Magadheeraand Eega, is back with another fantasy film Baahubali: The Beginning. The hype, earth-shattering box office records and most of my cinephile friends going gaga over it, made me really curious to watch the sumptuous and epic saga Baahubali.
