Baahubali: The Beginning Storyline

Baahubali-The Beginning (2015) is essentially about a tribal warrior boy, Shivudu who learns his past and awaits his destiny. The story is set in and around the fictional kingdom of Mahishmati. On the backdrop of a mighty water fall, an old yet regal lady (Sivagami) tries desperately to save a baby from a few attacking soldiers, but dies in the process. A tribal chief and his wife adopt that baby boy as their son. Egged on by curiosity and courage, the boy (Shivudu) makes a daring journey against the wishes of his mother, leaving the valley, towards the waterfall and further north into the nearby mountains. He is simply smitten by a rebel (Avantika) whose cause he willingly he takes up. This is the cause that brings him to Mahishmati Kingdom, and makes him confront his legacy. He saves the trapped and enslaved queen, later revealed to be his true mother (Devasena). He learns about his father, the benevolent and righteous (Amarendra Baahubali), and his ambitious uncle (Bhallaladeva) as told by a loyal warrior slave (Kattappa). And what is the stunning answer Kattappa gives for Shivudu’s question as to who killed his father, Amarendra Baahubali?

Grandeur Will Get You. ♦ 63%

The buzz forced me to watch it. And boy, was I enthralled.

Atheists must skedaddle, for this epic war drama takes references from Indian mythological history, which means some sequences will be specious for those thinking minds to bear.

A queen who is on her way to embrace death uses her supernatural powers to hand over an infant to a tribe habituating under a gigantic waterfall’s catchment. This child whose destiny has some relation with what lies beyond the waterfall is the protagonist of the story whose crux lies in that beautiful thing majority of the filmmakers around the world love and majority of the audience around the world hate: cliché. So to speak, the plot where this kid grows to become a hunky man (Prabhas) who explores his background history and gets absorbed into a period world of power, war, and betrayal is purely basic on a pH scale. Of course, the God-like story makes only half sense. And it is up to the viewers to carry out the process of making the other half sensible.

It is apparent that telling a new story was never the intention of the makers. They use a tried-and-tested theory to showcase what they can do with the technical aspects. From the entrancing score to the monumental designs to the artsy CGI – everything works greatly in the film, entertaining its audience who feel feeble in front of the lively yet beastly characters. Although, there are instances where there was no blend between the CGI and the setup.

The mammoth setup and its design is the highlight of the film which demands total attention. Even though the film is long enough for the naysayers to rant about, there won’t be any instance when one will feel bored with the events. The score itself is enough to hold you captive. The battle sequences and warfare are so good that anyone who has watched the TV series Game of Thrones (2011) will definitely be able to relate. So much for the epicness, I could even sense few sequences inspired from the series. Performances are better if you compare the actors’ previous performances in other films. The blink-and-you-miss love story adds romance to the otherwise tense plot.

BOTTOM LINE: The first part of Bahubali is an extravagant feast for the dim Indian eyes which sets the bar high for future epic war dramas, if one is ready to ignore the loads of scenes that defy logic or science or both, ironically on a massive scale.

VERDICT: 6 stars out of 10. Watch it for the goosebumps.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Spectacular!

Wow, what an incredible film! This looks amazing on screen! The film boasts stunning photography. The visual effects are for the most part fantastic (some scenes are clearly blue screen). The action sequences are jaw-dropping, and the stunts amazing. (I enjoyed the fact the score wasn’t so annoyingly overbearing as in the Hollywood movies).

For a film almost 3 hours long, lit’s astonishing that there never is a boring moment. This is intrigue, action and adventure from beginning to end. The final act is nothing short of spectacular, with a sensational 40-minute long battle sequence! The camerawork and visual effects during this particular scene is mind-boggling. This is probably as much of a spectacle today as ‘Ben-Hur’ or ‘Cleopatra’ was back in the day.

An Indian version of avatar according to budget but not so great experience to watch. Still good film to watch

BAAHUBALI REVIEW- Everyone was waiting for this huge project since last 3 years. And then trailer came and blown everyone’s mind. Now film has been released in theaters and people are just gone mad to watch it in theatre. Same story of mine too. Had very high expectations from it but sadly film did not matched up to my expectations. Everything was big in the film but don’t know why film didn’t left me with its impact. Story of very Kind and brave king baahubali that how he became king and then someone from his loved ones killed him by betrayal. And now his son just know what happened to his father years ago. Son who lives in different society goes to that kingdom to escape his mother from his relatives who seems to be cruel ones. Nothing new or special in story but the execution is very large. Film has been shot on very large scale which is treat to watch. From the start to end it never gives you feel of watching an ordinary movie. Locations and cinematography is excellent. Acting is good but not great. Because there are no such scenes where actors could show their acting talent. Music is not that good. But Background music is awesome which makes those scenes much better. Production is outstanding. I have to praise production team for their daring to make such a huge film with this much huge budget.in last 30 mins you can see their efforts that how large they made it. Those war scenes will blow you. People will remember this film for its budget and the daring of the production team. Direction was strictly okay. When you have everything from producers then you should make a masterpiece but director failed to impress. He made some scenes completely for masses only. That money making stuff as if we were watching an action masala entertainer. Cant blame him only because he didn’t had so much in story but still i think he could have made it better. Some songs were completely waste,were avoidable actually. Final words, neither film disappointed me nor impressed me. Its a good film to watch once but not strongly recommended. Watch it, only because you want watch its next part and don’t want yourself to get confuse with its plot. If you will watch this one then only you will understand whats going on when you will watch its 2nd part. Go for this, for their entire team’s hard work. Obviously they have made the biggest movie ever in the history of Indian cinema. All the best to the entire team. 7 * stars by me 🙂
