#Baahubali-2: The Conclusion (2017)
Today
we are here with the review of one of the most anticipated Indian movies of all
times. The movie which created lots of speculations and buzz before even its
release by the famous social media question going round and round i.e. Kattapa
Ne Baahubali ko Kyon Mara?? Or its stupendous online release of trailer online.
Yes, I am talking of BAAHUBALI-2: THE
CONCLUSION, directed by S. S. Rajamouli and
PLOT:
The
story takes off from where it ended in the first part and we are taken back to
the story of Amarendra Baahubali (Prabhas), the father of Shiva, who has been
chosen to be the next king of the Mahishmati kingdom by his mother Shivgami
(Ramya Krishnan).
Before
his swearing in ceremony, he is asked to tour his kingdom as a commoner where
he encounters with a fiery and warrior princess Devsena (Anushka Shetty) and
fall for her. Due to misunderstanding with his mother about Devsena Baahubali
has to stepdown as King and Bhalladeva takes the throne.
After
court conspiracies and mythological twists & turns, the biggest mystery of
all time solved i.e. Why did Katappa kill Baahubali? And why did Shivagami have
to give her life saving Baahubali’s child – Shiva?
ANALYSIS:
The
entry of Baahubali when he rides elephant is great one. First half of the movie
has its light hearted comic scenes and love angle and writes have moulded tough
and dutiful character of Katappa to funny one here. One thing
which is much better than the first part is that it has very strong women
characters be it Devsena or Shivgami Devi.
Some
scenes make a strong impact such as one where we see the dedication of
commoners towards Baahubali, another one where Baahubali slashed Sethupathi’s
neck in the midst of a court session, saying “Jo Auraton ki izzat pe haath dale,
uska haath nai, sar kaatna chahiye”. In another scene when Devsena confidently
questions back Rajmata Shivgami when she is being served with injustice, such
as getting hitched for marriage without her approval, is also impressive.
Second half is gripping with its mix
of action and emotion. Drama being the maintstay of the movie, one cannot
complain about the tedious nature of its script that shapes up to the whole
mystery.
While
Mahishmati’s is visually brilliant, Devsena’s kingdom of Kunthal is even more
beautiful. Comparing to the first part, the sequel has slight more drama than
action. Moving forward from cliff and waterfalls, Rajamouli takes us in a
dreamy ship that flies in the clouds. The faceoff sequence of Prabhas and Rana
is brilliantly performed.
The
majesty of Baahubali 2 is huge and it is like it was promised, actually
Rajamouli make it much bigger and better. A bow-and-arrow sequence between
Baahubali and Devsena looks looks amazingly romantic as well as action packed. Sound
designing is that perfect we truly feel those arrows hitting and every slash of
swords.
The
music of the movie is not that good in comparison to its prequel except the Jai
Kara song by Kailash Kher.
WHAT’S GOOD:
Riding
on spectacular screenplay, cinematography, able direction and dedicated performances
of the actors and equally contributing powerful story and visual spectacle,
this one is a treat to watch.
NOT GOOD:
A
few over the top action sequences such as use of coconut trees for climbing the
castle and weak music of the film.
STAR
PERFORMANCES:
Performance
of Prabhas in Baahubali 2 is one of his lifetime. His multilayered performance
as assertive leader, a lover, an emotionally hurt son shows how dedicated he
has been to this project.
Ramya
Krishnan as Shivgami again impresses us with powerful performance as the
leading lady of the mythical Mahishmati Empire. Anushka Shetty as Devsena looks
beautiful in her princess look. She performed the action and love sequences
with equal comfort. Sathyaraj also performed her role as Katappa with
perfection. Rana Daggubati also performed his evil act superbly. Tamannah
Bhatia has only very small role.
FINAL WORDS:
S. S. Rajamouli
takes the Indian Cinema to the new level and we must be a witness to his brilliant
masterpiece. Baahubali 2 is as big as the first one, maybe even better. NEVER
MISS & JUST WATCH IT .........................
My ratings
for this movie is 4.3 out of 5 stars.
So keep
following the page, good day till the next review
