As a spectator, I whole heartedly loved each and every character in Baahubali. Especially Amarendra Baahubali, Bhalla, Bijjala, Sivagami and Kattappa. I have bought the book the very same day it was released and completed all chapters!
What you have seen in both the films were just like waves on the top of the sea’s surface. There is so much deep inside each and every character in the film. Film makers wrote so much story for every character to give life to the characters in movie and they were heart warming! Especially Sivagami and Kattappa’s characters.
Anand neelakantan captured and show cased emotions so well. Sometimes you would feel and live in the scene and imagine yourself being a slave to a king, being a kid whose father was died and stamped traitor and many emotional things.
You might be bored for first few pages. But you would be completely involved into the characters once the real story starts.
This book answers many unanswered questions from the film. Who is Sivagami? How did she became Raja matha? Who is Kattappa? Why is he not married? Who is Vikrama deva? and many questions.
The only con that I feel about this book is that, Writer has not explained how Sivagami was tend to marry Bijjala deva even though Vikrama Deva loved her and so does she!
And I really felt bad about the ending. I thought the book ends with Sivagami’s marriage. Instead it ended with Vikrama Deva becoming the king and Sivagami standing in front of them thinking "I am standing in front of the people whom I wanted to kill."
I was not much satisfied with that, but other than that, each and every chapter created a huge impact!
I would love to meet the writer Mr. Anand Neelakantan
