Baahubali Movie- Rajamouli and his team's mind blowing treat

The chorus voice that comes in the song 'mamatala talli' is running through my mind now, it has been on loop in my mind from the time i left the theater. Given the track record of the director rajamouli, before watching the film i knew that i was going to watch a fantastic film. After watching the film all i can say is that the film is beyond my expectations and imagination.

Devasena(anushka) was held as captive for 25 years, no bath(i guess), no proper sleep(this is also my guessing),when her face was revealed after few scenes of her introduction you will get scared, with red eyes and very bad skin she looks so scary. This makeup of anushka is perfect example for the amount of care that Rajamouli's team took in each and every aspect.

I am not going to do any analysis on the story, screenplay and acting, i am going to tell you guys how good this film is. The story line of the film is very simple and old, but the way rajamouli narrated each and every scene and introduced each and every character is the highlight of the film. The film starts at the waterfall which we have seen in the trailer, we will get introduced to the SHIVAGAMI and her sacrifice. Rajamouli thinks big, not even in our wildest dreams we can think that a simple scene can be picturised in a way he does, whenever there is a scene with larger than life stunts, either he creates a perfect situation to that scene or he diverts the audience from completely concentrating on that stunt so that they forget about the logic. In this film also there is a situation where our hero climbs a biggg water fall of some 1000 ft. Had he shot it as a pure action scene, it would have been very difficult to convince the audience, so rajamouli pictured it as an action cum love song where hero climbs the water fall crossing one hurdle after the other.

After few love scenes between prabhas and tamannah you will get introduced to the loya servant KATTAPPA(sathyaraj), after that the roller coaster ride starts and there is no stopping until the climax of the film. Afer kattappa's introduction comes the mighty villian BALLALADEVA who can kill a large bull with his two hands, then comes the flash back and the war scene. Each and every scene astonishes you, specially the scene where baahubali kills the son of ballaladeva is worthy of 100 whistles. The film ends with a battle scene, it is well choreographed, it is not like the battle scenes we have watched in hollywood flicks. It is different with some breath taking shots. Keeravan's songs sounded really good while watching them(I didnt miss rahman like i said in this post baahubali songs)

This film has jaw dropping VFX, the waterfall song, mahishmathi kingdom, the snow slide sequence, battle scene and the list goes on...you never feel that VFX is bad and cheap(except some two three scenes).

The film ends with a question, asking us- Why did loyal servant of the kingdom KATTAPPA killed the king BAAHUBALI????. We have to wait for the part 2 which is going to release in 2016, until that keep guessing the reason....;-).....
