Movie - 7, Baahubali - The Beginning

Baahubali - The Beginning (2015)
by
S S Rajamouli

Movie Seen: 11 July 2015 (Sat)
Place: IMAX Screen, Prasads, Hyderabad
Note Written: 18 July 2015


I have been waiting for this film for the last two years. Rajamouli is a director whom I admire- there is a true passion for films in his talks, ways, and in the manner in which he betters himself in the movies he makes. We got tickets (after much hardships- Minu had to stand in the 'Ladies' queue for an hour) in the first row from the screen- it wasn't that bad a view. Even though the narrative and the graphics were loose in some scenes (especially the romance one between Shivudu and Avantika- he teaching her how to be feminine could have been easily avoided), the movie is nothing short of EPIC, otherwise! The war scenes in the second half were one of the best ever I have seen! Ramya Krishna was awesome in every frame she was in. Rana and Sathyaraj were also good in their roles. Prabhas, even though he has the looks to be Baahubali and Shivudu, lacks intensity in acting. Hoping to watch the movie again, also, waiting for Part 2!
