I was eagerly waiting for this film and I was not disappointed.
Baahubali is one of the most visually impressive films that have come
from India. Everything about this film is great. Story is good,
direction, music, a good screenplay and amazing visuals (though they
lack some details at some places).
I didn't know who Rajamouli was, basically because I am from North
India but I am sure he is someone you should know about. SS Rajamouli
is amazing. He has made something that we can be proud of. I was sure
that the VFX would be good however I had a doubt about the story.
Rajamouli proved me wrong with this film. The story and the execution
is even better. You can not expect more. He took a big risk and made it
big. This is what we need, good quality cinema. Salman fans should
learn something from it.
All the actors are good and perform their part really well(except
Tamanna. She tries too hard but fails). Prabhas is okay in the
beginning but transforms into a behemoth during the second half. This
guy is a natural.
The background score needs special mention because it is amazing. The
score that plays during war is haunting. (Clearly inspired from the
LotR)
I would be lying if I didn't say that Rajamouli spent a lot of time
watching The Lord of The Rings. Yes, some scenes will remind you of 300
and the Lord of The Rings (My favorite movie of all time) but believe
me it is completely different. He doesn't copy anything, he uses it as
a source of inspiration. There is only one scene that I remember from
LotR which has been used in Baahubali. But denying that he was
influenced by Peter Jackson would be a big lie.
The quality of graphics work is very good. In fact its insane for such
a cheap price given that Hollywood uses big budget for the same. The
battle sequence is SPECTACULAR and reminded me of Battle of Helm's Deep
and Pelennor fields from LotR.
But the movie is not without some minor problems. There are unnecessary
songs which ruin the experience (I laughed so hard when Prabhas started
dancing randomly. Everyone was looking at me.) and some parts are
dragged (specially the first half) . Also there are continuity problems
and some actors are over-the-top. Cut down the songs and edit the movie
and voilà we will have a SPECTACUlAR film.
Baahubali is not the answer to 300, Gladiator or The Lord of The Rings
because saying so would be foolish. Don't compare this movie to the
Hollywood ones because we still have a long way to go.its not the
Indian 300, its Indian "Baahubali".
So in the end, I would like to say - Go and watch it instead of
watching the crap that Bollywood has been producing lately. Its
something to be proud of. Book your tickets and watch this Indian grand
spectacle. You wont regret it.
