Baahubali is tentatively titled for Prabhas, SS Rajamouli's movie and its a epic story based movie in which, Rana Daggubati is playing the role of prabhas' brother in negative lead. Anushka Shetty will be playing the female lead role in this movie.
After blockbuster movie Chatrapathi director SS Rajamouli once again working with Prabhas. Shobhu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni are producing this movie under ARKA Media Works banner. M. M. Keeravani is scoring music for this movie. Eega fame Sudeepdoing an yet another important role in this movie.
Storyline: As we already the official audio launch for SS Rajamouli’s epic Masterpiece Bahubali is took place at Sri Venkateshwara University grounds at Tirupati,as we are speaking.Security is on the ready and highly beefed up,as the event expects a lot of fans to attend the gathering.Security also feared stampede might be a possibility,and doesn’t want to turn a blind eye towards that issue,as this marks SS Rajamouli’s and ofcourse,Prabhas’ biggest movie release in their careers,thus far,and both of them have their own multitudinous zealots and fans will be up for anything to get a glimpse of their favourite aces in the Tollywood Industry.
The place is all arranged for the razzmatazz that is to follow and people are all set to witness this historic movie’s audio release.I bet fans are already crooning to the track ‘Sivuni Aana’ in their heads.The place and the day are expected to be made auspicious by several top Tollywood giants’ presence..Suma,as most of us are well familiar with,with be taking over the show and hosting the event and is expected to crack people up with her ever so catchy and witty diction and persona.
There is a substantial amount of theory backing the fact that fans will not only be blessed with the audio tracks,but they also will be let in on the second trailer for the Magnum Opus movie,by the Bahubali team.The Audio launch of Bahubali which was earlier postponed for two times already cancelling their plans at Hyderabad and Ramoji Film City,doesn’t seem to be disappointing the audience today as the stage is all set,with all the Media and technical team in place.
Baahubali is the depiction of the historical story that is inconceivably picturesque and the one that I think never gets old.Baahubali means the Man with Strong Arms.(And quite frankly,I think there couldn’t have been a more strong pick than Prabhas for it).Baahubali was the second descendant of Rishaba(Believed to be the teacher of Jain Philosophy),only next to Bharata,Baahubali’s elder brother.
Bharata was appointed as the King of the throne by Rishaba,and claimed Baahubali to be the heir apparent/successor.However,as you would imagine,Bharata who has some vanity issues,gets admonished by Baahubali on several occasions leading them to go at each other,which later takes the shape of a war.Baahubali renders Bharata defeated in more ways than one.But ultimately,decides that its for the best of all for him to let Bharata go to end all wars and decides to sink into deep meditation in order to reflect upon who he is and attain enlightenment.So goes the tale from the Jain texts.

Review :
What’s Good: Frankly, all of it. Extraordinary visual effects & a suitable background score enhance the film’s plot. What absolutely stands out is the war sequence in the film; it took them 200 days to shoot the elaborate action. The detailing, precisions & sheer aggression of this war sequence makes‘Bahubali’ a one of it’s kind film. Bodies pile up faster than a city’s garbage, and weapons from Indian tales are used most imaginatively. Yet you can’t get enough of it! That it merges weaponry from Indian epics & Amar Chitra Katha with technical wizardry of 21st century VFX, makes this portion stand out from Hollywood comparisons.
What’s Bad: Honestly, some of the acting is just over the top. Mythology shouldn’t translate to melodrama, but in this film, it does.
A flaw that catches your eye in this otherwise near perfect canvas is the cardboard model like kingdom of Mahashwate. It’s the only flaw in the authenticity that this film’s elaborate VFX manage to achieve.
Loo break: You gotta go only if you gotta go!
Watch or Not?: Most definitely, watch! The visual spectacle alone is worth experiencing, apart from enjoying a genuine Indian mythical tale of good versus evil. ‘Bahubali’ has achieved what many films have aspired to-mind-boggling scale.
Also, watch this film for its dream like treatment of extraordinary feats that look effortless after Rajamouli’s treatment. Be it Prabhas climbing a gigantic waterfall step by step, or chasing a fairy princess like Tamannaah who turns out to be hardened, sexy warrior with a weaponized mid riff, aesthetics and allure ease out the aggression at suitable points.
Bahubali is something else! That’s the first thought that strikes you when you leave the theatre. A mythical tale of a displaced heir to a kingdom who accidentally returns as the prodigal son, the film captures Indian mythology in a grand, action packed and dramatic visual ride. Be it a suffering, brave mother; or another who gives her life to protect the baby Bahubali, or a cruel king egged on by lowly courtiers; or a nature loving, swashbuckling, natural born king, Bahubali encapsulates elements of mythology in modern cinema in breath taking fantasy.
The first part of Rajamouli’s epic covers the journey that leads Shiva to become Bahubali. A likeable, handsome & super strong young man, Shiva moves rocks, boulders & a solid Shiva Linga with some effort and lopes around, carrying them like rucksacks. All that he does is incredible, and hints that his destiny is meant for a life beyond the regular. A childhood dream to climb a waterfall is fulfilled after a fairy like beauty (Tamannaah) entices him; she turns out to be the warrior, Avantika who is fighting the evil king of Mahashwate, Bhallal Deva (Rana Daggubati). Bhallal Deva has imprisoned their queen, Devsena (Anushka Shetty), whom Shiva sets out to free. That’s when he is spotted as Bahubali. The film builds up to a dramatic end, and closes on a promise of more to come in its sequel.
Despite complete leaps of imagination and superhuman qualities to its hero, this fantasy- mythical film shocks and awes at first watch, making you contemplate a second trip just to get your head around the whole deal!
