Baahubali : The beginning is not an ancient drama rather an action based historical film narrating history with as much reality as it could grasp. The story may seems fictional but it's characters and their emotions are all convincingly genuine, as if the ancient human personalities were resurrected in modern times. This is a Rajamouli's masterpiece, where he bought back life to the ancient Indian history with vigour, passion and confidence. He brilliantly presented it to the modern audience fulfilling all aspects of viewers tastes.
The beginning is about Baahubali, a young man with tremendous physical strength, who easily lifts tonnes of weight with bare hands, has a princely link with a nearby kingdom Mahismati. He is bought up in a village but at a matured age he learns about his origins and the ugly truth about his past through various circumstances. This basically is the storyline, where then he listens the whole story of his father from the loyal Katappa, a most revered character of the Baahubali franchise. It ends in a question but sets out an interest for the second part. Rajamouli cleverly depicted the exact parallel of heightened emotional deliveries in both words and actions. The brotherhood, the friendships, the bravery, the love-romance, the betrayal, the hypocrisy are all hard hitting and convincingly real. Perhaps the physical strength and the bit pieces of VFX throughout the movie are fake but this could be understood as an entertaining angle rather than serious. We shouldn't forget that history is upto some extent a bit obtuse, somewhat distorted too. Rajamouli's Baahubali fits exactly this issue by means of bodily powers or VFX or heightened emotions. Katappa's loyalty, Baahubali's positivity, and Rajmata's folly are all message delivering plots. They are the brightest points in the film, that will make you remember this film for life.
Technically, the script is brilliant and performances are applaudable. They fits appropriately in those old characters which were perfect and inspiring in everything they do, whether it be war strategies or archery or community built ups and so on. The music too is uplifting, the characters are gripping, and the direction all marks the brilliance. The VFX issue is somewhere fades the truth hence a 9/10. But I feel Baahubali is not about special effects but rather an ancient political game of good vs evil, where the roles plays a strong parts.
In the end, it's a believable, uplifting and engaging historical film of political kingdoms fighting one another and within themselves for the power and greed. Though the ending is pessimistic where Baahubali is killed without any valid reasons shown still, it won't outweighs the positivity of the protagony throughout the film. A brilliantly climaxed film linking properly to its sequel, with brilliant technicals all fitting properly and last but not the least the brilliant script which holds tightly everything you would see in it. It's a brilliant historical film from India from south to be precise. A full 91 on scale of 100.
