Baahubali Review

In indian cinema... sambavam oru pattaas padam aanu. But comparison of Baahubali 2 with Baahubali 1 is unavoidable. If first part is 5.. this is 3.5... Why? See below.. So here goes: 1) Rajamoulli touch is there at lots of places. But in trying to raise the levels, he has come out with ugly, patchy, even *cringy* VFX, narration pieces and war stunts. 2) B1 was above Telugu stunt levels. B2 stoops to Telugu stunt gimmicks much too often. 3) B1 music was awesome with out of the world picturisation. For B2, nothing to say. The movie does have the wow... the Super wow... and the thriller moments. So, it is a paisa vasool anyways. PS: Comparison is with Baahubali. Compared to regular fare, this is still awesome. PS: Don't see the Malayalam dubbed. See Tamil version.
