Complete Movie Analysis:
The beginning started with Ramya Krishnan saving child Baahubali(Prabhas), then he was being saved by a tribe and brought up. In the process the child Sivudu tries to climb the mountain many times but fails to do so. One day he claims the mountain to reach Tamannah, there he falls in love with Tamannah. As per Tammanah wish to save Devaseena (Anushka) he goes to the Maheshmati astanam to save Anushka, then he successful saves Anushka later he comes to know about his past and his father glory. The story abruptly ends with a twist which will be revealed in the second part.
The first half was a little slow. Towards the interval movie gains its grip. The second half was very gripping and you will see a lot of breathtaking war sequences. Screenplay and Direction were spellbound. The only drawback is the story abruptly ends which will be continued in the second part. This was one of the major drawback we have noticed.
