"The Beginning" is the first part of the two-part period drama "Baahubali". Besides writing the story, V Vijayendra Prasad penned the screenplay for the movie in collaboration with SS Rajamouli, Rahul Koda and Madhan Karky. The film is about Shivudu, who is brought up in the forest and his attempt to know about his real identity.

After having an interesting 15 minutes, "Baahubali - The Beginning" trails for the next 40 minutes. The film picks up the pace towards interval and the second half is quite engaging and gets a never-before-experienced feeling.

MM Keeravani's music and background score, KK Senthil Kumar's brilliant camera work, Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao's editing, Peter Hein's choreography of action and war scenes, Sabu Cyril's art direction, Rama Rajamouli's costumes and V Srinivas Mohan's VFX work are all top-notch and on par with the Hollywood standards, as per the viewers.
Hundreds of viewers shared their verdicts on the film. We bring you some unique comments. Here is the live update of 'Baahubali' movie review by audience.

No storyteller comes close to what SS Rajamouli envisions and executes on screen. #Baahubali is truly a M-A-S-T-E-R-P-I-E-C-E. Every frame, every sequence of #Baahubali is a marvel. Can easily be compared to the best of Hollywood. Has the stamp of a genius. The grandiose sets, VFX, sound, edit, cinematography... most importantly, the watertight screenplay of #Baahubali is beyond fantastic. #Baahubali casting just perfect. Every actor shines in their respective parts. Prabhas and Rana, special mention for you both. Outstanding! A film like #Baahubali makes you proud. An Indian filmmaker dared to dream and the results are for all to see. We take a giant leap. #Baahubali is NOT TO BE MISSED. Today, you may call it a BOX-OFFICE BLOCKBUSTER. Tomorrow, it will be remembered as a CLASSIC.

Take a bow for tam, rana and supporting cast.. Sorry to say prabhas was pale #Baahubali Adivi Sesh scene as interval bang is want i needed and rest of the film in 2 nd half could have made wonders to the film #Baahubali

#Baahubali Lacklustre first half, engaging second half with a breath taking battle. #Baahubali - Definite watch for the visual effects, nothing much else in the movie. #Baahubali - @ssrajamouli has reached heights in VFX usage in the movie that others have just thought of #Baahubali #SSRajamouli has given way too much importance 2 graphics, visual effects & sets, 2 hide d flaws in d movie and that almost works. #Baahubali #SrinivasMohan's VFX steal the show and by a long way. It makes your jaw drop at least a couple of times.

A hat tip to everyone who worked on #Baahubali The last 20-30 minutes of war sequences & Ramya Krishna were excellent. Gutsy of Anushka Shetty to take on a role where she is all covered in grime. The powerful eyes do the talking. #Baahubali
Ramesh @rameshlaus
#Baahubali 1st half belongs to @tamannaahspeaks - She looks gorgeous and impressive as Warrior Princess. #Baahubali [3.75/5] : An Outstanding Film.. Mighty impressed.. Great Characters.. An interesting storyline.. Grand Visuals.. Top notch Perf! #Baahubali [3.75/5] : #Prabhas rocks as Baahubali.. Highly impressive in war sequences.. Non-stop applause.. 2 yrs of hard work has paid off

#Bahubali is pet bhar entertainment. Great escapist fun. Yet again Rajamouli's grand vision meets epic execution. Maza aa gaya bhai. Also kinda weirdly fun to see Anushka Shetty playing Rakhee from Karan Arjun. From Bommaalee to Mera Beta Aayega. #Bahubali
Harsh Mehta @harshf1
The VFX in the @BaahubaliMovie is OUTSTANDING. Having an amazing time at the premier. .@BaahubaliMovie is a great film. Must watch! The story line up in @BaahubaliMovie is very interesting so far.

The opening sequence visually extraordinary #Baahubali The shot involving of elevating camera on top angle between two pillars when prabhas entered outstanding #Baahubali Anushka gives a surprise twist.Story is gaining momentum for a confrontation #Baahubali A pre interval fight now. Keeravani adds his flavor, as the fight scene reminds us of rajamoulis magadheera to some levels 2nd half starts now with villains showing more villainy Rana showcases his swordplay #Baahubali An unexpected song now-rule. sets & art elements take the cake as prabhas shows flawless emotions And suddenly an incident now. Albeit a tragic one huge fight scene eye fest never before on Indian screen #Baahubali Few twists in the tale. As prabhas becomes a forced hero #Baahubali Ending the movie from where it started in the opening episode (usage of same weapons, location, sentiment etc) #Baahubali
Manishi @endhuku
I hate when people over praise anything. But I cant stop praising this movie. This is incredible fucking high #Baahubali #MuscatPremiereBB That shot! That shot! An Eagle landing on the ground cut into Prabhas with his stretched arms is MASTERPIECE ! Tempo a bit down in the scenes of Devasena as prisoner Interval! Mark down my words. This will stand as classics beside Paathalabhairavi, Maayabazaar My fingers trembling while typing. Such is the happiness and excitement Highlights: First two fights never ever."Maayaram" - hidden kingdom,Rana-Shivudu confrontation scene!,Dheevara
Priya Adivarekar @priyaadivarekar
