Storyline

Baahubali: The Beginning begins with Mahishmati empire's queen mother Sivagami (Ramya Krishnan) sacrificing her life to save the royal baby (Mahendra Baahubali, son of Amarendra Baahubali). Tribal queen Sanga (Rohini) raises the baby as Shivudu. One day, he stumbles on a wooden mask and tracks down its owner, Avanthika (Tamannaah)– who is on a mission to rescue Devasena (Anushka Shetty), their former queen, who is held captive by emperor Bhallala Deva (Rana Daggubati) for almost 25 years. He falls in love with Avanthika and assist her in rescuing Devasena without even knowing that the woman is his own mother, wife of Amarendra.

That's when Kattappa (Sathyaraj) reveals the flashback of Shivadu's father and the movie ends with the king's royal slave saying he killed Baahubali, and his reason for the act is the plotline of the sequel, Baahubali: The Conclusion.

Baahubali 2 review

Renowned movie critic Umair Sandhu after the UAE screening of the movie. "First Half of #Baahubali2 Done !!! Totally SPECTACULAR & Terrific! No Dull Moment throughout the film! Hatsoff to #Prabhas! #UAECensor. 2nd Half of #Baahubali2 Done! Best film i've ever seen in #India! History will be Rewritten this Friday !! ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER! [sic]." The critic has awarded five stars to the movie, which he billed as an unmissable classic with a mindblowing story. The first ever review of Baahubali 2 has raised the expectations of the audience.

Vivek Ranjit

Baahubali- The Beginning was just a grand 2.30 hours long trailer for this ultimate epic called Baahubali- The Conclusion. This is the real deal! A hundred times bigger & better than the first part, Baahubali 2 will probably go down in history as the Sholay of this generation - It has all the elements that a gargantuan epic mass movie needs and you cannot take your eyes off the wonders unfolding on screen even for a second. The writing is phenomenal, the emotional beats are brilliantly constructed, and it overtakes all the technical wizardry that the film boasts of; and gives us a progression of goosebump-inducing scenes, rooted in pure Indian storytelling style. The CGI is not as great as the first part, but since the storytelling is so damn good, it doesn't matter at all. Will talk about the movie in detail soon.

But my salutes to the mammoth efforts of Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj, Rana Daggubati, Nasser, Sabu Cyril Sir, MM Keeravaanigaaru, KK Senthil Kumar, KV Vijayendra Prasad, Kotagiri Venkateshwara Rao, Shobu, Prasad Devineni, PM Satheesh, Karky and the entire team of this grand spectacle, which is a solid Indian masala movie at its core.
And of course, SS Rajamouli Sir, who is bound to take Mainstream Indian Cinema to much greater heights! I bow down to you, Sir. You have achieved the impossible, and your name will be up there among the most incredible directors India has seen. Thank you for this movie!Jai Mahishmathi!!

‎Chandra Mohan Gopinath

A mystery that lasted for almost two years has finally ended!! Saluting Rajamouli and the whole team for bringing a more than worthy sequel which is perfection personified in every department. Director and everyone associated with the movie can be very much proud of what they have achieved.

Too much detailing has gone into each and every aspect of film making crafted with so much finesse making Baahubali 2 : The Conclusion a special one. The film provides an overwhelming experience as an entertainer. It is able to withstand all the expectations and has lived up to all the hype around it which began ever since the final scene in the first part ended abruptly making each and everyone who watched it curious to know what prompted Kattappa to kill Amarendra Baahubali.

I am not going into details thereby spoiling your party. Go and experience for yourself on the big screen one of the magnum opus of Indian Cinema in terms of quality and visual appeal. The movie gave me complete satisfaction and rewarded me a beautiful cinematic experience. Rating - ★★★★★ /★★★★★

A visual wonder that was seen in the Indian Cinema for the first time. Spectacular movie with 4K resolution. The movie has so much story involved in it. Hats off to S.S. Rajamouli and all the actors.First half of the film is excellent with a superb interval block. Second half is good with story and internal political drama taking precedence.Finally, just ignore the simple story line and do yourself a favor by taking your entire family to watch this magnum opus called Baahubali as wonders like these only happen very rarely.

Set lower expectations. First half is really interesting. Second half and climax, not as interesting as expected. Action sequences not as good as Beginning.

one of the best movies of 2017, Hatsoff to the whole team, nobody else could have done justice to the Bahubali role other than prabhas, Awesome visuals, good emotions, good action sequences and an mindblowing first half and an good second half, worth the money... Bahubali - Tharamaana Padam

Done ✅ #Bahubali2 ..what a second half.. no words. #Baahubali rules.. now time for #ManchesterDerby #manutd

Richa Barua 

One time watch, over the top action and fight.. overacting by Kattappa.. larger than life scenes...prabhas and Anushka's chemistry was not like any other filmly on-screen couples, it was pure magic that mesmerize us. GOT watcher can find some similarities.. However, FIRST PART of #Baahubali was the best. *** For Anushka and Prabhas

Dr-Roy CJ

Watched Baahubali 2. Outstanding Movie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. A MUST WATCH MOVIE. ON PAR WITH HOLLYWOOD's BEST MOVIE. A Superb Master Piece by Shri Rajamouli, Prabhas, Anuskha and team . I Wish I was the Producer!!!. This is a Producer's Dream Movie
