As shown in the first part, Baahubali( Prabhas) is declared as the king of Mahishmati. As part of the kingdom’s ancestral ritual, the would-be king needs to visit the countryside to know what problems the people in his kingdom are facing. In this process, Baahubali visits a small kingdom called Kuntala and falls in love with its princess Devasena ( Anushka) .
He woos Devasena with his charm and brings her to Mahishmati. But to his shock, Baahubali’s mother, Shivagami( Ramya Krishna) changes her decision suddenly and announces Bhallaladeva( Rana) as the king. Why did Shivagami suddenly announce Bhallaladeva as the king? What is the back story behind her decision? and why did Kattappa kill Baahubali? To know answers to these questions, you need to watch the film on the big screen.
Prabhas and Rana Daggubati have delivered outstanding performances in Baahubali 2 and the battle between the two is the highlight of the movie. In fact, it is their show all the way in the movie. Anushka Shetty, who did not have much scope in the first installment, has got more screen presence in part 2. She looks very glamorous and she is sure to leave you spellbound with action scenes, say the viewers.
Unlike first part, Tamannaah Bhatia has less screen presence, but she impresses you with her stunts in the climax of the movie. Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj and Nassar have got decent screen presence in Baahubali 2 and they have delivered brilliant performances, which are also among the assets of the film.
Baahubali 2, which has been made with a whopping budget of Rs 250 crore, has rich production values, which are on par with Hollywood standards. VFX, songs, background score, cinematography, action choreography, dialogues and editing are just mindblowing and they are far better than the first installment of the Baahubali
At the end of Baahubali: The Beginning, Shivudu learns that he is the son of Amarendra Baahubali and his heritage. The first half of the Baahubali 2 shows the romantic life and bravery of Amarendra Baahubali and Maharani Devasena ( Anushka Shetty) . The second half is all about how Shivudu avenges the murder of his father and becomes the king of Maheshmathi kingdom.
The question – Why Kattapp killed Baahubali? – had generated lot of curiosity about the story of Baahubali 2. Many wondered how SS Rajamouli would maintain this mystery throughout the movie. Rajamouli has done it with his amazing screenplay, which is engaging and entertaining right from the beginning till end. The climax is fantastic and stunning.
