The
most
expensive
Indian
movie
ever
made
turns
out
to
have
spent
a
fair
bit
on
getting
one
man
to
the
top
of
a
cliff
and
then
leaving
him
hanging...
Hollywood

The
story
has
been
told
many
times
before
-
a
child
is
born
destined
for
greatness
and
as
a
man
vanquishes
the
forces
of
evil
-
but
in
the
confident
hands
of
accomplished
South

director
S.S.

the
tale
gets
potent
new
life
in

S.S.

buoyed
by

he
never

the
kind
of

audiences
have
lent
to

It
sounds
a
little
bit
like

but
this
is
SS
Rajamouli's
Baahubali.
And
despite
how
clichéd
some
of
its
elements
may
be,
this
film
is
the
work
of
South
Indian
cinema's
wildest
imagination
and
it
takes

Let's
get
two
things
straight.
Baahubali
was
never

shrinking
violet
and
S.S.
Rajamouli
is
not
the
type
to
make
a
quickie
film
with
a
so-so
storyline.
So
when
you
step
into
the
theatre
halls
for
Baahubali
make
sure
you
leave
the
hype
