After all the hype the movie has attained pre-release, Baahubali-2 has proved every bit of it. It might be the critics’ response, box office collections or anything, the movie has certainly proved the capability of the South Indian cinema and more precisely raised the bars of filmmaking in India.
With the flawless performances from the cast Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, and Anushka Shetty, this movie is well equipped with nerve gripping storyline, breathtaking VFX, and mesmerizing BGM. In every significant aspect, Baahubali is far high above the apexes.
Baahubali -2 has already broken the box office collections of Dangal and Sultan. The movie collected the massive Rs 125 crores in Hindi version alone, and the totals summed up to 540 crores when overseas, all dubbed versions and premiere shows are included.
There are certain situations where a couple of war scenes and visualization aspects reminded us of some popular Hollywood movies, be it intellectual coincidences or the call it ‘inspired from’, whatever it is, there is this one, that appears one similar to Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed and Ranveer Singh starrer Bajirao Mastani.
There is one fight in which Baahubali (Prabhas) does his best to protect Devasena’s (Anushka) kingdom from invaders. If you carefully think about this scene, the idea of lighting up bulls then letting them kill the enemy’s soldiers in one go will remind you of Bhansali’s Bajirao. In the former’s movie, Peshwa Bajirao dupes the enemy’s soldiers in a similar pattern, thus saving Mastani’s kingdom.
