[Video] Baahubali, upcoming Indian Movie

Stewie said:
I watched it. I though the waterfall was all CGI.

Watched a low quality web stream. Did not know it was a two parter and they would leave the movie hanging like that towards the end. Now the viewers have to wait nearly an year to get some answers.

Honestly, I felt underwhelmed. Did not feel like it matched the hype.

Completely agree, too much hype over sub par movie.... but the waterfall was good

You are not alone. I liked Rajamouli's earlier flicks more than this one. Whether it was Naan Ee or Maryada Ramanna or even Vikramarkadu, all had somewhat interesting scripts from a very basic one liners that kept the audience right at the edge of their seats. I can't say the same about Baahubali. I felt it was kinda dull for the most part for me (despite the well executed vfx in the later half of the film). In Tamil, the dialogues were pretty cheesy, and the scenarios were very unimpressive in the 1st half. JMHO, The director could have finished the whole story in a single movie.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan could divide the Hindutva trolls like never before. Signs of the impending trouble are hidden in Twitter tamasha around Baahubali.

'#Baahubali is the answer to all anti-Hindu Bollywood crooks. That is why the media don't cover it. It is the best ever & based on Hindu epic!' exults @pragnik (Narendra Modi follows the handle) with the kind of triumphalism that will make Kalakeya's roar in the film sound like a pet's purr.

Marcus Antonius prescribes the "pure Hindu film" to every Hindu with family, especially kids.
Some want the 'Hindu' film to be tax-free. Why should the benefit go only to anti-Hindu films? they wonder. Others see in the box-office collection of SS Rajamouli's blockbuster a victory in the perennial Us v/s Them battle, lesson for 'moron' leftists, Aadarsh Liberals and people like Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani who apparently insult Hindu gods.

So, Baahubali now has a religion. It is decidedly Hindu and a slayer of its opponents.
Here are a few of the many tweets that are hailing the 'Hindu' film Baahubali.

The Twitter trickle isn't a trend yet. But wait till somebody like Subramanian Swamy wakes up to the potential of the blockbuster as the 'national film' of the imaginary kingdom of Hindutva.
For the Hindutva trolls, Baahubali is indeed an opportunity blessed by none other Shiva himself (as another Twitter bhakt claims to justify its monster success). It's cast, producer, director, technicians, music director (look, Ma, No Khan) gives them an opportunity to beat the Hindutva drum.

For a species immortalised by Chetan Bhagat as bhakts who are sexually frustrated, linguistically challenged and have deep-seated shame about being Hindu/Hindi speaking, this is a rare chance to get back by proclaiming the greatness of its religion and epics.

Never mind the fact that art has no religion and the artist's only dharma is to rise above biases, bigotry in the pursuit of creativity. Never mind the fact that every culture and religion has benefitted from stellar contributions from people of all faith, following and geography. Would 'O Duniya Ke Rakhwale' and 'Man Tarpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj' have been masterpieces without Mohammad Rafi and Naushad? Was the Taj Mahal made only by Muslim astisans?


And never mind the fact that Baahubali is a work of fiction and just borrows from the Indian mythology, just as it does from the story of Moses and the works of non-Indians like JRR Tolkein, Peter Jackson and James Cameron.

Baahubali has been influenced by artists and art across the world and only a blind 'bhakt' would insult it by apportioning the film on religious lines. To claim the collective work of a generation of writers and writers as their own is the defining credo of a plagiarist -- and many a Hindutva cheerleader has been accused of intellectual theft -- and of someone who is an intellectually inferior. Baahubali and its team doesn't deserve such moral and cultural debasing.

The Hindutva trolls, it seems, are still in a sulk because of the success of PK. They haven't yet come to terms with the fact that the film was a mammoth hit, in spite of their ill-informed rants, misguided protests and mis-directed poster-burning. PK was an epic smackdown of superstition and rigid beliefs that are the bane of every religion. It is still a mystery why only the Hindutva brigade took it personally. Perhaps, Baahubali's success has given them an opportunity to soothe their battered ego.

But dividing cinema on religious lines is fraught with danger. Up next for release is a film starring Salman Khan and directed by Kabir Khan. What if it succeeds on the box-office tomorrow and shatters Baahubali's record?

I have a sneaking suspicion that the Hindutva trolls have already thought of a valid explanation: It is all because of the blessings of Bajrangbali!

Saw the trailer. Looks absolutely lame. It might interest the Hinduvita folks.
 
The trailer of "Manjhi: The Mountain Man" is absolutely amazing!
No matter how hyped up this 'Bahubali' is...it's gonna be another one of those brainless action flicks.
P.s: The likes of Nawazuddin Siddique, Irfan Khan are just a few good actors left in Bollywood.
 
Watched it yesterday.

The war sequences were awesome (though there was a bit of a Hollywood/Lord of the Rings in it) complimented by great acting. First time I watched the movie from Southern cinema actors and their screen presence was worth a praise. Flashbacks were well placed.

Pure entertainment with a relatively familiar or typical story. Not so original in terms of plot or screenplay, but well directed nonetheless.

8/10

Lol jus asked i thought it got released in Pakistan which was kinda surprising not that i wanted the link.
 
Epic movie.

Absolutely loved it. Its different from usual crap thats dished out in the name of epic/fantasy/action movies in India. You could say there is bit of overacting in the movie and that they put songs and dance where it wasn't necessary and looked weird lol but the movie is very beautifully made. The CGI is pretty legit and you'd be overwhelmed by the details you'd see on big screen.

I loved the whole waterfall angle in the story in the first half an hour. The climb was epic and beautiful. Sound editing is great as wel., Overall, this movie is not to be missed. Its in a different league. Thumbs up to the director. Great job.

Waterfall and Kattaappa
 
Kattappa lol

He got most cheers where i watched the movie. Everyone was chanting aayyoo kattappa kattapa in south indian accent, rather sarcastically lol .
 
It appears that those who have seen this film have one of two extreme views (either praising the film as the next best thing since sliced bread or burning it to the ground saying its all style with no substance/soul) about it. There seems to be very few who are in the middle ground. Still, at the moment, from the overwhelmingly positive reviews that the film is getting across the globe, it does appears that people who are praising the film easily outweighing those who are scorning at it.

Here is an interesting read on Baahubali and bollywood.

https://www.saddahaq.com/bahubali-is-great-but-bollywood-does-not-have-to-bow-in-shame
 
I almost walked out before interval but glad I stayed. 2nd half was very well paced and great cgi to go along with some good acting. Didn't like the way they left it in the end, a bit abrupt. Nevertheless a good attempt in the genre especially after Bollywood's epic failure like Veer.

Bajirao Mastani's trailer looks promising, lets see if it can match Bahubali's standard.

If you're comparing it to movies like LOTR or even a show like GOT. This doesn't even come close be it scripting/acting/CGI. One has to look at such movies from Indian POV. Its a very good attempt especially after epic failures of movies that have relied heavily on CGI be it Bollywood or South industry, this is a huge step forward.

Nope. I am not comparing it to any foreign films/tv series. In fact, the link I posted has author comparing Baahubali to few Hindi flicks from the past. I kinda agree with some of his points, though.
 
Sorry didn't like it may be cause i'm used to the crap bollywood and kollywood dish out but not used to Tollywood yet.
Plus:
Sets,Background score,graphics

Negatives:
Script,Acting,Logic.

Im not a lover of war movies and never liked 300 that much either,my fav war scene is from Gangs of New York the starting one so not much into special effects but the impact of the scene prefer a realistic one so in that case the movie is made for Telugu audience and rural audience of other parts of the country.

Indians don't realise but we are god damn racist and its kind of deep rooted. Anyone remembers Ramayana on TV? Raavan's Lankans were always portrayed as black monsters.

Maari was a horrible movie, avoid at all cost. With the amount of products placements the movie should have been shown for free. At times there were at least 7-12 products placements. The movie is kind of like Aadukalam, but worse, the jokes aren't funny, Danush comes of as annoying than anything else and educated girl falling for some slum gangster is a cliche. Aadukalam + Aaru = Maari. The movie might do well vs 13 to 24 year old boys living in the slums. Might actually go watch Baahbali, it is running in Tamil here as well.
 
Portrayal of tribals in ‘Baahubali’ sparks Twitter war

# Former Indian Express editor Shekhar Gupta is once again in the news! This time he has grabbed headlines for slamming blockbuster movie Baahubali.
The well-known journalist has strongly attacked the makers of Baahubali over portrayal of tribals in Baahubali. Deeply upset with the Baahubali makers, Shekhar Gupta took to Twitter to vent his anger and thereafter sparked a tweet war among pro and anti Baahubali audience.
"Most awful film portrayal of tribals in #Bahubali. Dark, scar-faced, ugly rapist brutes with rotting black teeth. Shameful profiling (sic)," Shekhar Gupta wrote on Twitter triggering a tweet war.

I found it offensive as well just didn't take it up on social networking.I don't see why couldn't another Hindu kingdom with civil leaders be used for the same may be because they didn't want any sympathy for the warriors in another side?
 
Worthless movie. Good graphics, set.

Rest everything socks. 2/5

That too only for the graphics.
 

Lol killed all the records on day 1 itself,including all bollywood movies,I'm not going for it,didn't like the first one,but defn people across have taken a liking for it.
Apparently got 121 crores on day 1 in India lol WTH

Man, that is MASSIVE. Do you know what the budget of the movie was?
 
I know it's a great effort by Indian standards and would certainly pave a way for many more directors to venture into this genre which would be good for Indian cinema in the long run but I just simply can't muster the strength to drag my *** to watch it in theatres.Maybe because after watching hollywood blockbusters like LOTR and shows like Game of thrones(which has been poor recently but still a benchmark for many), my expectations have gone really up and I don't think it's in us to match something like that with our limited sources.But still a good effort without a doubt and if it helps in industry to grow then no complaints from my side.

Watched the movie. One of the best Indian movies I have ever seen. The scene before the interval gives you goosebumps and is still haunting me. Background score was topnotch. The climax fight was awesome though few scenes were just completely over the top and takes law of physics out of the equation, but I liked it; it was kinda cool. Like many Indians, I had been waiting for the conclusion for 2 years and I have to say, it was worth the wait. Actually, I found the first part pretty average tbh, not because the movie was poor, but because of it's half-baked story. There were few unnecessary scenes in the first halves of both parts. I feel the director could have cut it down and made it in a single movie.

That's what happens if a movie gets popular in every language. This is the only movie waited with so much anxiety by people of all parts of India, which is pretty evident with unprecedented first day collections everywhere. If India had one language, we would have crossed 1000 crore mark long time ago. Seems like Baahubali 2 is all set to to be the first Indian movie to gross 1000 cr.

250 crore for both parts. The whole budget was recovered with the first part itself. Second part is all profits for producers, but not for distributors as they bought it for exorbitant prices.

1000 crore is unlikely,it had a Pan India appeal because Bollywood has become to soft,and in this movie the villain,"hero" support cast and big sets have made it get a huge appeal which won't happen with others.

Part 1 grossed 650 cr with the first day gross of around 100 cr. But part 2 grossed 200 crore on the very first day itself. So, it is very much possible for it to cross 1000 cr worldwide.

Combined budget of part 1 and 2 is around ₹450-500 crores (70-75 million $) .. The producers claim that all the profit made from part one was pumped into the making and promotion of part 2 ..

Critically it's like India's "Troy" . Good, watchable epic film , nothing great like a "Gladiator" ..

But it's a huge stride for Indian cinema and south Indian films in particular.. Telugu is a language spoken only in 2 Indian states , for them to make a film that appeals to all the other southern languages and then to Hindi audiences in particular is a great achievement..

Also it is a validation of the vision of the director SS Rajamouli​, which shows that you don't make epic films just by pumping more money into everything... Recent Bollywood epic ***** like "Mohenjodaro", "Ra-one" etc should take note ..!
It takes genuine creative genius and a lot of hard work and planning..

Also the current rise of hindutva feelings in India has surely helped sell a movie which glorifies the "HINDU" empires of the past .

Having Karan Johar distribute the films in the Hindi speaking states helped a great deal to mitigate the general apathy towards southern films .
 
The first one, although not bad, was very, very over-rated. I´ll still be watching its sequel.

Apparently that used to be the only effective method to get attention of a tough looking medieval Indian chick.Bollywood used to do this same kind of thing in 90s although it involved continues stalking on hero's part until the girl finally relented.Looks like southies are still stuck in past.
Beside why the hell would you want wear such kind of skimpy clothing in so much cold? smh

Last half hour lost it. After the massive build up to story, it ended in a splash. Could have thickened the plot towards the end. Still one of the best.

Thanks for the responses guys. Karan Johar must be licking his lips at all the cash that's going to be minted from this movie.
 
Karan is only the distributor. He earned 15-20% share of the collection​s of the 1st one. This time the share might be higher, still it's a windfall for him.
 
Prabhas gave 5 years of his life to this project. He didn't take up any other project in between. Same is true for other Bahubali actors and actresses. Don't think any bollywood actor apart from aamir khan can do that.

For absolutely no contribution creatively,that's huge imo.Not to forget in future he will know how to package the south Indian dubbed movies.
 
IMDB boxoffice shows it at no.3 with 10.1 million $ lol I'm assuming that is Us+Canada, what lol,is this the first Indian movie to break into top 5 on weekend?

Yup, I noted in my review back then too that Bollywood show something very similar in the 90s. It used to go like this: the guy would stalk and flirt with the girl on the streets, sing for her (with 20 dancers joining him out of nowhere!) and by the 5th minute of the song the girl would join in to sing and dance - signifying that she too has fallen in love! :)))

A friend of mine once told me that they show this a lot in South Indian films where the girl finally falls in love with the guy who harasses her throughout, as such acts make him win the girl's heart! Whereas I can't generalise since I don't watch South Indian films, but sadly one of the only two that I have watched did contain a scene most terrible! So it goes like, he strips her naked and she falls for him on the spot!
 
Stunning visuals, jaw-dropping stunts, and war strategies and tricks make 'Bahubali: the Conclusion' a lifetime experience. Wow, just wow! Blown away! A masterpiece!

I thought Sharad Kelkar´s voice in the Hindi dubbing really suited to the protagonist´s character. Was it him? I guessed the voice.

Do I sense sarcasm ? The palm tree sequence was way OTT, but very imaginative though, just like the "horns on fire" cattle herd sequence.

Horns on fire was really good though but those scenes where they tried to show baahubali as some superhuman and the palm tree sequence..:facepalm:

Lol but why. I don't think Nayanthara could pull off that role to be honest. Anyway Nayanthara is more known for her films in the Tamil industry. It would be like Kannadigas claiming Anushka Shetty when she made her career primarily in Telugu movies
 
It seems Mohanlal was offered the role of Kattappa first which eventually went to Satyaraj.

Stunning visuals, jaw-dropping stunts, and war strategies and tricks make 'Bahubali: the Conclusion' a lifetime experience. Wow, just wow! Blown away! A masterpiece!

I thought Sharad Kelkar´s voice in the Hindi dubbing really suited to the protagonist´s character. Was it him? I guessed the voice.

Lol the war strategies and action was Way OTT.. If you leave brains at home and go to theatre to watch the movie then it was amazing but if you try and have any sense of logic or common sense while watching the movie then it has many loopholes.. Regardless compared to other Indian movies it was pretty good and enjoyable would recommend everyone to watch it atleast once..

Do you think Rajamouli will accept a fat Mohanlal? He would have made him work out and build a proper physique.

Prabhas, Rana and others spent 5 years to get into shape and fit into their roles. Especially Prabhas and Rana who spent 8 hours a day in Gym with Foreign trainers who monitored everything they ate.

I guess that is why Mohanlal anna rejected the role. He loves his Appalams a bit too much to take on Kattappa's role.

I hope he does some work out for his next big budget movie Randam oozham (based on the mahabharath epic), unless he is playing the role of Bheema.:22:

WTH is this S#it ? For Keralites it's Puttu-Appam and Porotta y'all. .Appalams are for dudes on the other side of the Ghats .

Seriously, there was no way Mohanlal was gonna strive for a physique that Sathyaraj had. No director has managed to make mohanlal lose weight beyond a point . He is a very agile man for his weight mind you, but in no way does he look like a warrior/bodyguard !

Shameless and naked display of telugu nationalism, and other dravidians jumping on the bandwagon to boast about something after their self inflicted inferiority complex due to superior bollywood.

Please note , the recently announced "Mahabharata" adaptation is a book that sees Mahabharata from Bhima's perspective.

It shows a middle/old aged Bhim, after the war years reminiscing about the events of his life. Its a very emotional story that require substantial acting chops. ! So the present choice of Mohanlal isn't that bad . If they chose some other younger actor to play the young and war-time Bheem, it'll work out really well .!

I guess Junior NTR can do a good job of playing Mohanlal's (Bheems) younger self . .They have very matching facial/physical features.. (or even Prabhas)

And No Hrithik anywhere please. As greek god like & good looking he may be, he has tanked every period film he's ever done.

Amitabh is a lock for Bheeshma, if not use Sathyaraj (Kattappa).

Arjun was charming ,good looking ,a skilled warrior & a compulsive womaniser in Mahabharat. So Ranveer Singh can do it, without compromising the acting . Or maybe Surya/Prithviraj can do it .
