As the series has somehow come upto 10thpost, a planned write up for a block buster movie. In the year 2015 the movie was released with director SS Rajamouli’s cut out in theatres in Telugu speaking states. Probably the first director to get such a dramatic reception which is quite usual in the case of protagonists.
A magnificent historic movie. Should have watched the movie in theatres to have a real experience before watching it in Jaya TV HD and Sony max (even yesterday) n number of times. The kind of graphics takes one to Mahishmati effortlessly though the reach to the kingdom is bit defying physics theories. But it is okay to defy physics to experience a majestic second half. First half is bit dull with two songs. While the first song can be taken as a destiny driven one, so as to pacify oneself to an extent, second song is a serious threat to cosmetic companies.
Surya wearing water proof Viboodhi in the hero introduction song in 'Aadhavan' is nothing in front of, Jr. Bahubali read as Shiv in first half, using water proof colours to draw one half of the design on Avanthika’s hands and the missing pieces on his hands. The LHS is equaled to RHS in the duet. While one Lakme iconic kajal costs 200 INR this man effortlessly gets it from nature and applies on her eyes like a Tony & Guy professional stylist. So is the cheery red lipstick on Avanthika, gives a throwback of her Sakti Masala ad. Jr. Bahubali causes serious threat to the cosmetic products in second song and challenges professional hair stylists and beauticians blinded by love.
These are the only two points which can be mocked out rightly in this movie. The rest of the movie make one sit on the edge of the chair even today. For the first time, Tamannaah had some expressions on her face. Apart from being THE glam doll, a good show as a fighter. After the second song the movie is transcended to a different plane. The statue event gives goosebumps and the name ‘Bahubali’ resonates throughout the interval. ‘The rescue of DevaSena’ is the turning point and the night chase is captured beautifully. The head slash of Rana’s son and his Mundam walking, Kattappa falling on his knees is still magnificent to remember.
Rangaraj Subbaiah also known as SathyaRaj is a heart throbber even in his early sixties with his entry when Sivagami orders him. Sivagami is a wow factor. Ramya Krishnan even in her salt and pepper style looks ageless. Anyone can fall in love with her for her boldness, the way she handles the ‘Kuru Vaal’, hidden in her pallu and pulls it out effortlessly to kill the guy who threatens the throne. Typical Gambeeram when she feeds breastmilk to the two young lads simultaneously. For Naseer such ‘Bijjaladeva’ role is a cake walk with typical Dhirudarashtra scenario depiction. Bahubali and Bhallala Deva as the best rival cousins equal in might and all other aspects. The crew isn’t complete without mentioning the will of DevaSena in collecting the fire woods. Her passive aggression has been viewed, Anushka's active aggression to be seen soon.
The movie itself has a plot close to Mahabharata except the ratio of cousin rivalry. Here it's 1:1 and there it's 1:20. The terms 'Vyuha', 'Akshauhini' can been seen in Mahabharata but the war sequences till date were left to the imagination of the individual. The serials aired on televisions weren’t enough to feed the imagination. To feed the hunger of the war sequence, this movie gave tons of food to enhance the imagination. The movie would have beautifully shown ‘vyuha’ on map and on field. Execution of the same with oiled clothes is beyond jaw dropping moment.
SS Rajamouli's brilliant efforts and effects now make it easier to imagine even the 11 akshauhinis of Kauravas and 7 of Pandavas. While one akshauhini is 1 chariot : 1 elephant : 3 cavalry : 5 infantry soldiers which is actually 21,870 chariots; 21,870 elephants; 65,610 horses and 109,350 infantry as in Mahabharata.
While Tamil nadu is worried about proving the question 'Who killed Amma? Knowing 'Why Kattapa killed Bahubali?' atleast in 2017 should be a solace.
Eagerly waiting for Bahubali - The Conclusion.
