Bahubali : a movie or an epic?





Bahubali is flamboyant and spectacular not just a movie but a historical story that looks much like our Puranas Ramayana and Mahabharata. Winning laurels for indian cinema at world stage it has given new recognition to regional movies breaking the geographical barriers. Though a gap of 2 years between the first and the second part in no way people lost their interest and love for the movie and of course all those conjectures for why " Kattappa killed Bahubali?" never faded away. The VFX and graphics make it larger than life and is a visual treat for the audience.
Story of a kingdom Mahishmati and its godmother Shivgami who stood against her husband and all her rivals to protect her kingdom, yet not becoming the ruler herself. She nurtures her own child Bhallaldeva and her orphaned nephew Bahubali together giving them both equal rights, love, care, education and warrior skills hence, leaving on fate of Mahishmati to decide it's rightful king portrays her strong femininity. Shivgami observes and wants Bahubali to be crowned as the king as she notices him to have all the qualities and virtues of a great ruler. Whereas, on other hand thinks Bhallaldeva was too ambitious to sit on the throne. Her character symbolizes her selflessness and acumen in choosing the ruler of her kingdom. Though later she gets influenced by her son Bhallaldeva to kill Bahubali but once she realizes her mistake she does every possible to protect Bahubali's son Mahendra Bahubali and appoints him as new king of Mahishmati. Bhallaldeva wants to be crowned king at any cost and out throw Bahubali by manipulating his mother playing trick to marry Bahubali's would be wife Devsena and hence conspires to kill Bahubali by forcing Kattappa to kill him. Kattappa plays a pawn in the movie who raises Bahubali to be a great warrior.He loves him a lot and is called Mama by him.Though he loves Bahubali like his own child he unwillingly accepts the order of Bhallaldeva and kills him. Kattappa's character is one of the strongest in movie showing his loyalty towards Mahishmati that in any circumstance he will follow his king's orders and acts as a shield for him doing anything for his royalties. Devsena on other hand is a beautiful princess who is brave and ambitious having a strong persona.She doesn't let her self respect down in entire movie. The romance between her and Bahubali is pure and timeless. After the death of her husband Amrendra Bahubali she waits for her child Mahendra Bahubali to take revenge and free Mahishmati from evil. She stands tall against all odds in hope of her son.
Bahubali is a must watch movie an epic saga of love , sacrifice , war and revenge. It is surely going to be one of the best picks of Indian cinema.
