Make no mistake Baahubali 2` like its predecessor is not a Tamil film, but a deeply rooted Telugu epic complete with aesthetics of that region. Most of your regular movie maker, aiming to make a bilingual or trilingual ends up making a soulless film which does not appeal to anyone. Rajamouli on the other hand has stuck to the flavor of the original language and has still reached out to the others.

People who are raving about visual grandeur are forgetting that Rajamouli already did it eight years back in Magadheera`. The amazing stunts and war sequences were already seen in the first part. Then what really is behind the phenomenal opening the film has taken and the urge that it has created among non regular movie goers to make a dash to the theaters?

There is a saying that the most primitive you are, the more modern you become and the septuagenarian story writer of Baahubali 2`, Vijayendra Prasad knows the fact. There are no complications in the screenplay it is simply a fantasy set in an ancient time with romance and revenge at its core,a swashbuckling hero, bold and beautiful heroine, a royal patriarch, a loyal servant, and the evil personified villain and his mentor a twisted schemer. Mahabharatha anyone?

The sequel has sheer old fashioned drama in every scene and apart from the dedicated muscle men Prabhas and Rana, Anushka, Sathyaraj, Nasser and most importantly Ramya Krishnan have dug deep into their souls to bring out such convincing performances.

There is something for everyone in Baahubali 2`, children and youngsters love the action and the extravaganza, women the emotional roller coaster and the progressive portrayal of their gender through the characters of Anushka and Ramya, older audiences are swayed by the powerful dialogues and well scripted drama. And to everyone else around the globe Baahubali 2` is a slice of pure Telugu cinema, which is very pan Indian in its simplistic yet unique storytelling.
