Finally,
the
most
awaited
Indian
movie
of
the
year,
Baahubali
2:
The
Conclusion,
is
out
and
the
madness
surrounding
the
movie
seems
unexplainable
and
unmatchable.
Why
did
Kattappa
kill
Baahubali?
The
reason
is,
ah
no,
let
me
not
reveal
it
here
but
instead
leave
you
to
get
the
answer
from
the
cinema
halls.
Let
us
not
find
out
what
the
story
offers
to
the
audience
in
this
section
as
the
visual
extravaganza
and
the
storyline
needs
to
be
found
out
and
enjoyed
in
theatres.
However,
the
movie
is
more
than
a
paisa-vasool
experience
for
its
various
technical
highlights
in
the
movie.
Screenplay:
Screenplay
is
the
major
highlight
of
the
movie
which
doesn't
lag
any
bit.
Hero
elevation
sequences
are
at
its
pinnacle
and
goosebumps
are
felt
at
many
instances.
Scene
writing
and
knitting
of
sequences
makes
the
audience
look
forward
to
the
subsequent
proceedings
as
the
same
doesn't
cause
any
boredom.
Dialogues:
Crisp,
neat
and
at
times,
connecting.
There
are
no
over-the-top
dialogues
but
still
commands
cheerful
responses
from
the
audience.
Editing:
Sharp
editing
with
smooth
transitions.
Scenes
doesn't
jump
from
one
to
another
abruptly
though
the
backdrop,
colour
combination
and
lighting
varies
between
two
connecting
scenes
-
thanks
to
the
editor
for
a
commendable
job.
Cinematography:
KK
Senthil
Kumar
deserves
a
special
mention
as
it's
his
cinematography
which
shows
the
grandeur
in
an
even
bigger
scale
than
it
actually
is.
Arial
shots
of
two
kingdoms,
low
angle
shot
of
the
protagonist
or
rendition
of
Devasena's
beauty
on
screen;
every
single
scene
captivates
the
mood
and
attention
of
audience.
This
movie
would
take
Senthil
to
places,
courtesy
-
his
quality
output.
VFX:
Right
from
the
titling
to
the
climax
which
includes
the
magical
work
in
songs
and
in
action
sequences,
the
effort
put
in
by
the
VFX
team
is
pretty
evident.
However,
a
couple
of
sequences
seem
a
bit
patchy
and
gives
a
feeling
that
the
same
could
have
been
rendered
better.
Music:
Soul
of
the
movie,
M
M
Keeravani.
Songs
at
right
places
are
to
be
decided
by
the
director
while
songs
with
right
mix
and
blending
them
in
tandem
with
the
script,
is
the
job
of
a
music
director
and
this
legendary
music
director
has
won
hands
down.
If
Saahore
song
makes
you
smile
because
of
its
heroic
composition,
then
Dandalayya
might
move
you
into
tears
for
its
powerful
composition.
Background
music
alone
conveys
right
emotions
and
adds
a
major
booster
to
the
sequences
and
stands
parallel
to
the
performances
of
the
actors.
Performances:
It's
hard
to
pick
out
the
best
from
the
whole
pack
as
it
seemed
to
be
a
jugalbandi
of
sorts
between
actors.
Satyaraj
as
Kattappa
has
delivered
a
refined
performance
complemented
by
his
experience.
Though
he
has
not
dubbed
for
the
Telugu
version
of
the
movie,
his
facial
expressions
and
body
language
suiting
the
timeline
has
been
showcased
extremely
well.
Nasser,
he
makes
you
laugh
and
he
makes
you
angry!
Characterization
has
been
rightly
justified
by
his
acting
skills
and,
one
gets
a
feeling
that
Bijjala
Deva
is
a
modern
Shakuni.
After
Padayappa,
this
is
definitely
the
best
character
Ramya
Krishnan
has
portrayed.
If
her
acting
prowess
weighs
a
ton
then
her
expression
through
eyes
weighs
another
ton.
Be
it
her
facial
expressions,
her
intensity
or
her
voice
modulation,
Sivagami,
at
times
overshadows
every
single
character
of
the
movie.
Nothing
much
about
Avantika
aka
Tamannaah
as
she
hardly
appears
in
two
frames.
Devasena
is
beautiful,
courageous,
wise
and
brave.
Of
course,
same
are
the
qualities
expected
out
a
girl
who
wishes
to
marry
Amarendra
Bahubali.
Anushka
gets
a
meaty
role
and
she
has
gone
the
extra
mile
to
squeeze
out
every
bit
of
the
obtained
opportunity.
Evil
can't
get
evil
anymore.
If
at
all
the
same
happens,
then
it
can
be
named
as
Bhallala
Deva.
His
might,
his
hunger
for
power,
his
greed
and
his
malevolent
nature
makes
his
a
perfect
antagonist.
Subtle
expressions
from
Rana
and
his
intents
show
what
a
mighty
performer
this
hunk
is.
For
the
man
who
dedicated
5
years
of
his
life,
for
the
man
who
thought
nothing
apart
from
Baahubali,
this
success
is
not
too
huge
and
he
deserves
every
bit
of
it.
Prabhas
appears
a
hero
not
just
in
the
movie,
but
in
the
eyes
of
the
kids
who
throng
theatres.
He
is
a
performer
who
can
convey
loads
of
emotions
without
appealing
through
his
muscular
strength.
One
cannot
think
of
any
possible
star
apart
from
Prabhas
for
the
movie
for
his
all-round
exceptional
performance.
Direction:
S
S
Rajamouli,
the
name
which
appears
initially
on
the
title
card
and
the
stamp
which
marks
at
the
end.
It's
the
stamp
of
the
ace
director
not
just
on
the
movie,
but
on
Telugu
cinema.
Superstar
Rajinikanth
had
once
said
that
SS
Rajamouli
would
be
the
biggest
technician
of
Indian
cinema
and
with
the
Bahubali
series,
the
dynamic
director
proved
the
Superstar
right
in
all
sense.
This
man
knows
how
to
set
camera
angles,
what
VFX
composition
needs
to
be
in
place
and
what
dynamics
need
to
applied
to
make
a
shot
look
near
perfect.
He
seem
to
have
known
the
pulse
of
the
audience
and
yes,
he
is
a
winner!
Highlight:
Interval
Bang
-
goosebumps
overload
throughout
the
scene.
Downside:
Action
sequences
(if
logic
is
used!).
Final
Verdict:
A
sure
shot
blockbuster
at
the
box
office
and
a
neat
entertainer
for
the
audience.
And
more
than
anything,
a
movie
experience
for
a
lifetime!
