Plot

The plot of the film connects with the predecessor. For more information on the predecessor's plot, see Baahubali: The Beginning.

Kattappa continues to narrate how he was under compulsion to assassinate Amarendra Bahubali. After vanquishing the Kalakeyas, Amarendra is declared as the heir apparent to the throne while Bhallaladeva is announced as the kingdom's future commander-in-chief. Rajmata Sivagami Devi sends Amarendra on a tour under disguise with Kattappa for attaining knowledge in political affairs. During the tour, Amarendra witnesses the valour of Kuntala's Princess Devasena / Thevasenai when she resists a group of attackers. Falling in love with her, he approaches her after the fight, posing as a simpleton and Kattappa plays along with him as his uncle. Amarendra is accepted as guard at the royal palace of Kuntala while Bhallaladeva perceives about Amarendra's acts and upon viewing Devasena's portrait, lusts for her and acquires a promise from Shivagami, who assures Bhallaladeva's marriage with Devasena oblivious to the fact that Amarendra has already fallen in love with her. Shivagami sends an emissary to Kuntala proposing marriage but the emissary portrays it in a patronizing way leaving Devasena enraged. She gives a scathing reply rejecting the proposal and upon receiving her response, Shivagami sends an order to Amarendra that Devasena be brought to Mahishmati as a captive.

In Kuntala, an attack by Pindari dacoits on the royal palace exposes Amarendra and Kattappa's bravery and they nullify the attack with assistance from Devasena's maternal cousin Kumara Varma who overcomes his cowardice. Upon being confronted when Amarendra receives a message to capture Devasena, Kattappa reveals that Amarendra is the future king of Mahishmati. Amarendra, promising Devasena that he would protect her honour at any cost takes her to Mahishmati. In the court, the misunderstanding is brought to light and Shivagami asks Amarendra to choose between the throne and Devasena. Unwilling to break his promise to the princess, he chooses to marry her and serve the kingdom as its commander-in-chief. Bhallaladeva's coronation takes place at a grand note but he seethes with jealousy over his popularity among citizens. Devasena expects a child and during her baby shower, Bhallaladeva deprives Amarendra of his commander post under pretext of making sure that Amarendra spends most of his time with his pregnant wife and the post is offered to Sethupathi. Devasena questions the decision, declaring it unfair and confronts Shivagami for her inactions. She asks Amarendra to ascend the throne as a gift to her that leaves everyone stunned.

Devasena, during her visit to a temple cuts Sethupathi's fingers off with a dagger when he dares to misbehave with visiting women and her. She is shackled and produced in the court where Amarendra beheads Sethupathi for his misdeeds and as a result, both Devasena and Amarendra are banished from royal palace and are supposed to live as commoners. As Amarendra's fame does not decrease, Bijjaladeva and Bhallaladeva stage a conspiracy to further turn Shivagami against Amarendra. Bijjaladeva convinces Kumara Varma that Amarendra, Devasena and their unborn baby's lives shall be threatened by Bhallaladeva's machinations and manipulates him into entering the palace at stealth of night for assassinating Bhallaladeva to do good. However, Kumara Varma and his companions are defeated and killed before which Kumara Varma learns that it is a conspiracy to have Shivagami pass an order to assassinate Amarendra. Shivagami, who believes that Kumara Varma is sent by Amarendra for murdering Bhallaladeva secretly passes an order to Kattappa for assassinating Amarendra as declaring it publicly would lead to an internal war.

Destined to be bound to the kingdom, Kattappa helplessly lures Amarendra into a secluded place feigning that he is in trouble where Amarendra is backstabbed and killed. Kattappa is made aware of Bhallaladeva's treachery and exposes it to Shivagami, who regrets while Devasena delivers a male child. Shivagami declares to the panicked hordes outside the palace that Amarendra died and his son Mahendra Baahubali would ascend the throne. She orders an assembly to punish Bhallaladeva and his father but as Bhallaladeva and his men are about to seize Shivagami, she flees with the new King but falls into a river after being hit by an arrow shot by Bhallaladeva which leads her to a passage that ends down the mountain. Bhallaladeva becomes a tyrannical emperor who holds Devasena prisoner for the next 25 years and destroys Kuntala, Mahendra ends up in alliance with the rebels who try to rescue her. After listening to the whole story, Mahendra Baahubali (alias Shivudu / Shiva) immediately declares war. He assembles the rebel army, consisting of villagers and scattered soldiers.

With Kattappa's and Avantika's assistance, the army lays siege to Mahishmati. Bhallaladeva recaptures Devasena, but Kattappa, Mahendra, and the rebels breach the city walls and save her. Mahendra fights his uncle and pins him down using the chains from Devasena's cage. After completing a cleansing ritual, Devasena burns Bhallaladeva on a pyre, ending his reign permanently. The next day, Mahendra is crowned as the new king of Mahishmati with Avantika as his queen. He declares Mahishmati will be dedicated to upholding peace and justice under his leadership. He also orders his men to toss the head of Bhallaladeva's statue out of the palace walls, where it is swept to the great waterfall. It breaks as it falls and crashes against the cliff's walls and lands near the lingam that Mahendra carried earlier.

Production

Main article: Baahubali (franchise)

Baahubali: The Conclusion was produced by Tollywood,[25] the centre of Telugu-language films in India based out of Hyderabad. However, it was filmed in both the Telugu and Tamil languages simultaneously. The film series is touted to be the most expensive in India as of this date. Rajamouli's father V. Vijayendra Prasad who wrote stories for most of his films once again gave the story for Baahubali. The series was produced by Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni.[26] R.C.Kamalakannan was chosen as visual effects supervisor and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao was the editor. PM Satheesh was the sound designer and stunt sequences were coordinated by King Solomon, Lee Whittaker, and Kecha. The film's costume designers are Rama Rajamouli and Prasanthi Tripuraneni. The line producer was M.M Srivalli. The film shooting started on 17 December 2015[27] at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad with Prabhas and Ramya Krishna. The film featuring Telugu actors Prabhas and Rana Daggubati in the lead roles became the biggest ever movie in India in terms of scale of production and making as of 2017.[28] The film is also known by the abbreviation BB2.[29][30][31] Sabu Cyril was the production designer[32] and Peter Hein was the choreographer.[33] R. C. Kamalakannan was the VFX supervisor[34] and was assisted by Pete Draper and Adel Adili, co-founder of Makuta VFX.[35]

Casting

Prabhas was cast as main lead of the film. Anushka Shetty was cast as the lead actress of the film as she was also a part of Mirchi (2013).[36] She coincidentally became the first heroine Rajamouli repeated in his films and thus made her schedules full for 2013 and 2014.[37] Rana Daggubati was cast as the antagonist of the film and coincidentally he was also a part of Rudhramadevi.[38] Sathyaraj signed the film.[39]

In April 2013, Adivi Sesh was cast for a crucial role in the film as Rajamouli was impressed by his work in Panjaa (2011).[40] Actress Ramya Krishna was chosen to play the crucial role in the film as "Rajamatha" in August 2013.[41] Actor Nassar was selected to play a supporting role.[41] Charandeep was selected to play the brother of the film's chief villain.[42] On 20 December 2013 a press release stated that Tamannaah will be starring in the film playing the role of "Avanthika".[43] Meka Ramakrishna was picked for the head of the Kuntala guerillas.

Characters and looks

Rana Daggubati was said to be playing the role of Prabhas' brother and he too underwent a lot of physical transformation satisfying the role he was assigned to play in the film.[38] He also underwent training in Martial arts under the supervision of a Vietnamese trainer, Tuan.[44] Sathyaraj has a Tonsured look for his role in the film.[45] Sudeep said that he would play the role of a weapons trader Aslam Khan in this film.[46] In the end of October 2013, Rana appeared at a fashion show with a beefed up body which, according to him, was a part of his look in the film.[47] In mid-May 2014, reports emerged that Anushka would play a pregnant woman for a few sequences in the second part of the film.[48]

At the same time, Prabhas posted on his Facebook page that he underwent minor shoulder surgery and would join the film's sets in a span of a month.[49] On 1 June 2014, Prabhas and Rana's trainer Lakshman Reddy, said that Prabhas started his training 8 months before the commencement of shooting and after two years, both of them weighed nearly 100 kilos each. He also added that Prabhas has two attires with a heavy, bulky body for Baahubali's role and a lean physique for the second role.[50] For his look, Prabhas met WWE superstars like The Undertaker in February 2014 and interacted with them about their daily regimen and workouts.[51]

Prabhas had equipment costing ₹15 million shipped to his home, where he built a personal gym. His breakfast included 40 half-boiled egg whites blended and added with protein powder.[51] In mid-June 2014, regarding her role in the film, Tamannaah said that she would be playing the role of a warrior princess named Avanthika and her appearance in the film is completely different when compared to her past films.[52][53] Before joining the film's shoot, Tamannaah did costume trials for the film which she confirmed in her micro-blogging page stating "I am very excited to get on to the set of Baahubali. I did some dress trials today and my look in this movie will be totally new. I have never been seen in such sort of a look till now. It will be a new role for me."[54] Rajamouli called Tamannaah and her characterisation as a "value addition" to the movie.[55] She stated that she plays Avanthika, and had a special training and diet regime.[56] The film introduced a new language called Kiliki.[57]

Piracy

On 22 November 2016, a 2-minute war sequence from the film was leaked and posted on Facebook and Twitter.[58] The following day, the police arrested a video editor for stealing and uploading the scenes.[59][58] The Deccan Chronicle, noticing the lack of punishment, felt the leak was a publicity stunt.[60] Following this, a 9-minute war sequence supposedly from the climax was leaked. The video lacked VFX.[58]

Themes

Director S. S. Rajamouli revealed that Baahubali is inspired by the epic Mahabharata.[61] V. Vijayendra Prasad, the screenwriter and Rajamouli's father who wrote stories for most of Rajamouli's films, once again penned the story for Baahubali. Vijayendra Prasad revealed that Sivagami has shades of both Kunti and Kaikeyi while Devasena is a warrior like Sita. He further added that he sees Baahubali as the story of Sivagami and Devasena.[62] He was also inspired by tales of Chandamama and Amar Chitra Katha comics.[63][64][65] In March 2017, Rajamouli said in an interview that "Why Kattappa killed Baahubali" is the theme of the film.[66] The tagline "The boy he raised, the man he killed" was billed in a poster featuring Kattappa.[67] Rajamouli had stated that the Mahabharata was a source of inspiration for the film.[68] According to K.K. Senthil Kumar, the colour palette used was based on the "mood and feel."[69] He contrasts different tones used within the film: warm colours for Mahishmati, cool colours for Kuntala, desaturated colours for the frame in which Baahubali is expelled.[69]

Kanniks Kannikeswaran writes the characters resemble those "from Chandamama issues from the 1960s and 70s" and feels that the "plots and subplots that bear distinct similarities to themes from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata."[citation needed] He calls Amarendra the "perfect Rama," while calling Bhallaladeva "Duryodana incarnate, an atatayi." Bijjaladeva is compared to Shakuni, while the death of Bhadrudu is compared to Jayadratha's death in the Mahabharata.[citation needed] Kannikeswaran also feels that the film has visual parallels with The Lion King, while also noting the similarities with Mulan.[citation needed] Writing about the similarities with the latter, he states, "Mulan pins a villain to a roof where he is reduced to ashes right in the midst of a firework display. The evil Bhallala is pinned with a sword to the 'chita' pyre that consumes him in the final frames of the film." He calls the film "Shivocentric," noting the appearance of a Shivatandava stotra and that Shiva is the tutelage deity of Mahishmati. The main character is healed by Shiva in the end of the film, while noting Ganesha also makes an appearance in a fire ritual.[citation needed]

According to Chandan Gowda, a professor at the Azim Premji University, "the social order [in the film] appears to be a varna order: Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas are named with the Shudras staying an unnamed presence," also noting that "Muslims are also part of the Mahishmati kingdom."[68] Mahesh Kathi felt that the modules and imagery were borrowed from Indian epics like Mahabharata and called Prabhas' character "a mix of the Pandavas put together,"[70] while Gowda writes that the influence is "at best rough," stating that the film cannot match the "moral depth or complexity" of Mahabharata.[68] He further contrasts the themes of both, writing, "the heroes have failings and the villains redeeming virtues, making us morally ambivalent towards them both, Baahubali goes for black and white: its heroes are wholly good and the villains pure evil."[68] According to Gowda, the palace scenes resemble those in Ben Hur (1959) and Troy (2004) while the fight sequences are similar to the Chinese films Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).[68]

Critics noticed similarities between Baahubali 2 and The Lion King, an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet (1599–1602).[71] This similarity was also felt by fans, who created memes of the comparison.[72] The Indian Express makes a comparison, stating that both films are a tale of two brothers, where inhabitants suffer under a cruel ruler, who is the brother of a kind ruler. The son of the kind ruler grows in remote lands, unaware of his lineage, guided to his home by his love interest. The spouse of the kind ruler is treated badly by the cruel ruler. The son also has an advisor, who helps him realize his identity.[73] They further note that the kind ruler and his son look similar in both films.[73] Firstpost notes that both Bhallaladeva and Scar share a scar on one eye, and both Simba and Mahendra are introduced similarly into the world.[74]

About one million tickets were sold within 24 hours of the advance booking.[142] Tickets were sold out until 2 May.[143] Later, tickets for the first week were sold out.[144] The sale rate was the highest ever in India, beating the record held by Dangal.[145] Booking sites of multiplex players crashed down due to high traffic.[146] In UAE, the film sold more than hundred thousand tickets before release, the highest ever for an Indian film, breaking the record held by Fast and Furious bookings.[146] BookMyShow and PayTM offered discounts on Baahubali 2 tickets.[87] At the end of its theatrical run in India Baahubali 2 had sold an estimated 100 million tickets, the highest estimated footfall for any film in India in decades;[147] Box Office India notes that the estimated footfalls of Mother India (1957), Mughal-e-Azam (1960) and Sholay (1975) could be more than that of Baahubali 2.[148]

Complications

The morning shows of Baahubali 2 in several cinema theatres across Tamil Nadu were halted.[149] The reason being was that the rights to distribute the film Baahubali 2 in Tamil, which was initially sold by Arka Media Works to K Productions, was resold by the latter to Sri Green Productions. Sri Green Productions was unable to pay the full amount leading to problems in the film's distribution as Sri Green had already made deals with local distributors.[150] Arka Media Works had to intervene to resolve the financial issues and had to bear the full cost for the smooth release of the film.[151] Scenes from Baahubali 2 were released online 2 days before the film's release.[152] Activists in Karnataka threatened to stall the film's release in their state due to a statement made by Sathyaraj concerning the Cauvery river, unless the actor apologized. Sathyaraj later apologized for hurting the sentiments of the activists.[153] The entertainment tax to be paid on each ticket was not paid, due to the sale of unaccounted tickets.[154]

Reception

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 87% of 23 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.5/10.[190]

India

The film received universal acclaim and from both the critics and audience.[191] Rachit Gupta from Filmfare gave the film a rating of 4.5/5, stating, "SS Rajamouli's much-awaited sequel is the kind of movie Indian cinema should make regularly. It's the kind of sweeping magnum opus that Indian mythos and culture deserve. It's the biggest film we have ever made and barring a few minor glitches in CGI, this film is possibly the greatest spectacle you'll see on a big screen, in your life."[192] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo from The Hindu stated, "For the most part, The Conclusion doesn't let us take our eyes off the screen. It's designed to be a cinematic celebration, one that deserves to be watched on the largest screen possible".[193] Anupama Subramanian of the Deccan Chronicle gave the film a 3.5/5, praising the acting of the stars while complaining about "the lack of a solid plot' and called the ending "predictable."[194]

Vishnuprasad Pillai of Asianet News gave a negative review, writing that the film "offers nothing new... The writing from KV Vijayendra Prasad fails inspire or to do justice to an epic of such scale," adding that "the dialogues at times are downright corny and plot developments cringe-worthy."[195] Dipanjan Sinha of Hindustan Times gave the film a rating of 3/5 stars, praising the film's cinematography and special effects, but found faults with some of the female characters. Sinha stated, "Devasena ... starts off as an ace warrior only to be tamed into someone who has to be protected."[196] Shubhra Gupta of Indian Express rated the film 2/5 stars, noting problems with pacing and sound, writing, "The background music is relentless, and the pitch at which the declamatory dialogues are delivered is deafening: there were times I felt like closing my ears."[197] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rates the film 4.5 out of 5 and praises the performance of the cast, writing, "It's a feast for moviegoers and has the trappings to make all generations its fan."[198]

Meena Iyer from The Times of India rated it 4/5, writing: "Just savor it. It is a visual extravaganza that India must feast on ... Prabhas is terrific as father and son. Of course, it is CGI and VFX that grab you in your seat."[199] Hemanth Kumar from Firstpost called it "Rajamouli's epic drama" and rated it 4/5.[200] Sukanya Verma from Rediff rated the film 3.5/5, writing the film, "continues its tradition of grandiloquence and magnitude... high drama, more than spectacle, is what lends its riveting tale of revenge and glory all its wallop and wizardry."[201] She also praised the film's cast and director stating, "Equipped with a cast that's not only in tune with Rajamouli's vision but knows exactly where to hold back and when to give their all adds to Baahubali's might."[201]

International

It was further featured in Rotten Tomatoes' list of Best Off the Radar Films of 2017, in which Tim Ryan writes, "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion plays like a shotgun wedding between Ben Hur and Kung Fu Hustle, seasoned with bits of Shakespeare, Kurosawa, and Buster Keaton," opining, "it's a blockbuster that's both gigantic and lighter than air."[202] Mike McCahill of The Guardian gave a 4/5 rating and called it "a jaw-dropping blockbuster that combines nimble action with genuine heart". He also stated, "This production's triumph is the room it's granted Rajamouli to head into the fields and dream up endlessly expressive ways to frame bodies in motion. Of the many sequences here primed to cut through jadedness, perhaps the most wondrous is that which finds Baahu guiding Deva mid-battle to shoot three arrows simultaneously – a set piece that speaks both to a love of action, and love in action. The budget's big, the muscle considerable, but they're nothing compared with Baahubali's heart."[203]

Manjusha Radhakrishnan of Gulf News rates the film 3.5 out of 5 and writes, "This is a sweeping visual spectacle filled with epic battle scenes, clashes between warring troops from Indian mythology and elephants on a rampage," but further added, "There were times in the second half where you felt the computer-generated graphics took over the story. But all this is new and exotic for Indian cinema."[204] Shilpa Jamkhandikar of Reuters writes, "It may not up the ante from the last film, but it doesn't let up on the pace either. For an Indian film, that is no mean feat."[205] J Hurtado of ScreenAnarchy writes, "It's a bit daunting because it does begin in media res immediately following the complex actions of the first film, but astute viewers will put together the pieces soon enough."[206] Kabita Maharana of International Business Times gave a rating of 4 out of 5 and writes, "From the very first scene, the film is a visual extravaganza. Every frame is meticulously captured by SS Rajamouli and his team. This is the first Indian film hailed for excelling in visual effects."[207]

Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com gave the film a 4/4 rating and writes the film "is everything I want but rarely get from superhero and big-budget fantasy movie" adding "the fight scenes... are so creative that they make even the most frequently abused creative shortcuts seem novel, everything from computer-generated imagery (CGI) to speed-ramping... You care what happens to the cast as they, aided by wires, hurl volleys of arrows at disposable minions and CGI animals."[208] Anita Iyer from Khaleej Times rates the film 3.5 out of 5 and writes, "What stands out in the film is the powerful star cast. Enough has been said already about the acting prowess of Prabhas but he has an equally supportive cast to hold the film. Ramya Krishna as Sivagami, is known for her impressive acting talent and proves her mettle here. Another veteran, Sathyaraj as Katappa excels and you develop a camaraderie with him. Rana Daggubati is aptly spiteful in his portrayal of the villain... Nassar, as his father, is busy spewing venom but his role could have been meatier."[209]

Baahubali stands for that."[226]

Prasad had confirmed that a third cinematic part will not occur in the franchise.[227] However, Yarlagadda said, "We have an animated series that is premiering on Amazon. Then we have graphic and regular novels that will tell us the backstory of the Mahishmati kingdom. We want to make the story of Sivagami – how she became a power centre into a TV series in a grand way. There is also a virtual reality experience. We have many more plans where fans can engage in the world of Bahubali."[228] This was also confirmed by Prabhas, who said, "We are done with the story of Baahubali, there cannot be a third part. But the world and the legacy of Baahubali will live on through a comic series and a TV series."[227]

interview that Why Kattappa killed Baahubali is the theme of the film 66 The tagline The boy he raised the man he killed was billed in a poster featuring Kattappa 67 Rajamouli had stated that the Mahabharata was a source of inspiration for the film 68 According to K K Senthil Kumar the colour palette used was based on the mood and feel 69 He contrasts different tones used within the film warm colours for Mahishmati cool colours for Kuntala desaturated colours for the frame in which Baahubali is expelled 69 Kanniks Kannikeswaran writes the characters resemble those from Chandamama issues from the 1960s and 70s and feels that the plots and subplots that bear distinct similarities to themes from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata citation needed He calls Amarendra the perfect Rama while

borrowed from Indian epics like Mahabharata and called Prabhas character a mix of the Pandavas put together 70 while Gowda writes that the influence is at best rough stating that the film cannot match the moral depth or complexity of Mahabharata 68 He further contrasts the themes of both writing the heroes have failings and the villains redeeming virtues making us morally ambivalent towards them both Baahubali goes for black and white its heroes are wholly good and the villains pure evil 68 According to Gowda the palace scenes resemble those in Ben Hur 1959 and Troy 2004 while the fight sequences are similar to the Chinese films Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2000 68 Critics noticed similarities between Baahubali 2 and The Lion King an adaptation of William Shakespeare s Hamlet 1599 1602 71 This similarity was also felt by fans who created memes of the comparison 72 The Indian Express makes a comparison stating that both films are a tale of two brothers where inhabitants suffer under a cruel ruler who is the brother of a kind ruler The son of the kind ruler grows in remote lands unaware of his lineage guided to his home by his love interest The spouse of the kind ruler is treated badly by the cruel ruler The son also has an advisor who helps him realize his identity 73 They further note that the kind ruler and his son look similar in both films 73 Firstpost notes that

positive with an average rating of 7 5 10 190 India The film received universal acclaim and from both the critics and audience 191 Rachit Gupta from Filmfare gave the film a rating of 4 5 5 stating SS Rajamouli s much awaited sequel is the kind of movie Indian cinema should make regularly It s the kind of sweeping magnum opus that Indian mythos and culture deserve It s the biggest film we have ever made and barring a few minor glitches in CGI this film is possibly the greatest spectacle you ll see on a big screen in your life 192 Sangeetha Devi Dundoo from The Hindu stated For the most part The Conclusion doesn t let us take our eyes off the screen It s designed to be a cinematic celebration one that deserves to be watched on the largest screen possible 193 Anupama Subramanian of the Deccan Chronicle gave the film a 3 5 5 praising the acting of the stars while complaining about the lack of a solid plot and called the ending predictable 194 Vishnuprasad Pillai of Asianet News gave a negative review writing that the film offers nothing new The writing from KV Vijayendra Prasad fails inspire or to do justice to an epic of such scale adding that the dialogues at times are downright corny and plot developments cringe worthy 195 Dipanjan Sinha of Hindustan Times gave the film a rating of 3 5 stars praising the film s cinematography and special effects but found faults with some of the female characters Sinha stated Devasena starts off as an ace warrior only to be tamed into someone who has to be protected 196 Shubhra Gupta of Indian Express rated the film 2 5 stars noting problems with pacing and sound writing The background music is relentless and the pitch at which the declamatory dialogues are delivered is deafening there were times I felt like closing my ears 197 Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rates the film 4 5 out of 5 and praises the performance of the cast writing It s a feast for moviegoers and has the trappings to make all generations its fan 198 Meena Iyer from The Times of India rated it 4 5 writing Just savor it It is a visual extravaganza that India must feast on Prabhas is terrific as father and son Of course it is CGI and VFX that grab you in your seat 199 Hemanth Kumar from Firstpost called it Rajamouli s epic drama and rated it 4 5 200 Sukanya Verma from Rediff rated the film 3 5 5 writing the film continues its tradition of grandiloquence and magnitude high drama more than spectacle is what lends its riveting tale of revenge and glory all its wallop and wizardry 201 She also praised the film s cast and director stating Equipped with a cast that s not only in tune with Rajamouli s vision but knows exactly where to hold back and when to give their all adds to Baahubali s might 201 International It was further featured in Rotten Tomatoes list of Best Off the Radar Films of 2017 in which Tim Ryan writes Baahubali 2 The Conclusion plays like a shotgun wedding between Ben Hur and Kung Fu Hustle seasoned with bits of Shakespeare Kurosawa and Buster Keaton opining it s a blockbuster that s both gigantic and lighter than air 202 Mike McCahill of The Guardian gave a 4 5 rating and called it a jaw dropping blockbuster that combines nimble action with genuine heart He also stated This production s triumph is the room it s granted Rajamouli to head into the fields and dream up endlessly expressive ways to frame bodies in motion Of the many sequences here primed to cut through jadedness perhaps the most wondrous is that which finds Baahu guiding Deva mid battle to shoot three arrows simultaneously a set piece that speaks both to a love of action and love in action The budget s big the muscle considerable but they re nothing compared with Baahubali s heart 203 Manjusha Radhakrishnan of Gulf News rates the film 3 5 out of 5 and writes This is a sweeping visual spectacle filled with epic battle scenes clashes between warring troops from Indian mythology and elephants on a rampage but further added There were times in the second half where you felt the computer generated graphics took over the story But all this is new and exotic for Indian cinema 204 Shilpa Jamkhandikar of Reuters writes It may not up the ante from the last film but it doesn t let up on the pace either For an Indian film that is no mean feat 205 J Hurtado of ScreenAnarchy writes It s a bit daunting because it does begin in media res immediately following the complex actions of the first film but astute viewers will put together the pieces soon enough 206 Kabita Maharana of International Business Times gave a rating of 4 out of 5 and writes From the very first scene the film is a visual extravaganza Every frame is meticulously captured by SS Rajamouli and his team This is the first Indian film hailed for excelling in visual effects 207 Simon Abrams of RogerEbert com gave the film a 4 4 rating and writes the film is everything I want but rarely get from superhero and big budget fantasy movie adding the fight scenes are so creative that they make even the most frequently abused creative shortcuts seem novel everything from computer generated imagery CGI to speed ramping You care what happens to the cast as they aided by wires hurl volleys of arrows at disposable minions and CGI animals 208 Anita Iyer from Khaleej Times rates the film 3 5 out of 5 and writes What stands out in the film is the powerful star cast Enough has been said already about the acting prowess of Prabhas but he has an equally supportive cast to hold the film Ramya Krishna as Sivagami is known for her impressive acting talent and proves her mettle here Another veteran Sathyaraj as Katappa excels and you develop a camaraderie with him Rana Daggubati is aptly spiteful in his portrayal of the villain Nassar as his father is busy spewing venom but his role could have been meatier 209 AccoladesMain article List of awards received by Baahubali The Conclusion Baahubali 2 won the Telstra People s Choice Award at the Indian Film
