Finally got a chance to catch up with the most awaited movie of the year, in fact, for the past 2 years. While the first part gave away the possible backstory of the movie, there were so many intriguing questions like "Why Kattappa killed Baahubali" and "How Baahubali was ousted from the empire".
From a plot perspective, the hooks for second part had already been laid firmly by director Rajamouli in the first one. To top it all, the Baahubali franchise has "grandeur" as the selling point. So people were kept on the wait for the sort of grandeur that was to be unleashed with cutting edge CG and animation.
The conclusion, as mentioned before, starts from Kattappa narrating the times he spent with Baahubali Senior, how he was ousted from the empire and ultimately gets slain by Kattappa himself. Then, predictably, the revenge saga starts and we are treated to a happy ending with good taking over the evil.
But after watching the movie, I firmly believe that the story just cannot be described on paper. It has to be experienced. After all, tonnes of effort, passion and diligence have gone into the making of this visual extravaganza. This is a movie that has to be enjoyed on IMAX (sadly the Tamil version hasn't got it) and ATMOS fitted auditoriums, in order to immerse oneself into the movie.
From a script perspective, the romantic interludes between Anushka and Prabhas was a lot better than the one that was showcased in the first part between Prabhas and Tamannaah. Sathyaraj was a pillar of strength in terms of supporting cast and was literally anchoring the movie at emotionally charged moments. As the loyal servant who has to choose between his loyalty and conscience, his inhibitions were conveyed with subtle but majestic body language and detailed expressions.
