Review of Bāhubali: The Beginning (2015) by Jasrick J — 10 Jul 2015
Baahubali in one word is a EPIC!!! The films visuals, the grand scale, the VFX, is something never seen in Indian cinema history. The genius behind such a classic is SS Rajmouli, his resume speaks for itself, but with this film he has proved that he is India's best director, and the true answer to Hollywood blockbusters like 300, and even films like the Lord of the Rings.
The films divulges in the fantasy genre. The films main plot is about to warring cousin brothers for the throne of a kingdom. While one brother becomes king he is soon killed. The film is then set in the 25 years later showing the kings grandmother who is about to die, leaving the Kings son with village folk. Then kings son then grows up to become a strong warrior like man but knows nothing about his past. Will he become king, and discover his truth, will we find out who killed his father is what forms the rest of the plot.
While the films story is predictable, until the climax, the films screenplay is tight, and engages till the end. The first half sets up the film, while the second half leaves your jaw on the ground. The war sequence is one best scenes ever to been seen on a Indian screen ever. The action is best to be seen on the Indian screen ever. Finally the films climax will leave you stunned, and one just cant wait for part 2.
Acting wise Prahbas and Rana have given performances of a lifetime as hero and villain they leave you in awe in the kind of dedication they have given. Tamanna suprises with here action scenes and looks majestic. Anuskha is first rate. Nassar is great. But Saytharaj steals the shows with his amazing act, he lives the role of Kattapa. Ramaya Krishna is excellent.
Overall words cant describe this epic, its need to be seen to believed. Its India's best technically made film. The VFX, the action, the scale is the best ever seen on the Indian screen. Its truly pathbreaking.Indian cinema will now be know as before and after Baahubali. Take a bow SS Rajmouli we can see what took 3 years to make!!!
5/5* or 10/10.
