SS Rajamouli's Baahubali is an epic in two parts, narrated through spectacular visuals and colossus fighting scenes.The 30-minute fighting scene is the most exciting scene of the film
However, beyond this, the film with a star-studded cast of Prabhas, Rana Daggubati and Anushka Shetty offers little else. The film suffers in terms of continuity, because the film's production took more than two years.
The plot is about two royal cousins raised by the mother of one - who decides that the strongest and the noblest of them would rule the kingdom of Mahishmati. The film often seems like a 1950s work with men and women in glittering costumes moving through the corridors of magnificent edifices.
When one of the cousins, Amarendra Baahubali(Prabhas), is crowned king, a court conspiracy sees him murdered. But this is of course for the sequel of Baahubali, scheduled after a year or so. The special effects of the film are spectacular and a real value add.
The first part opens with a desperate woman trying to save a boy child even as she drowns in a flooded river and he lives, nurtured by a forest tribe. He grows up to be Shivadu, little realising that he belongs to the nobility and that his mother, Devasena(Anushka Shetty), is chained and imprisoned by his cousin, Palvaalthevan(Rana Daggubati), in the royal palace.
