Baahubali winning the National Award for Best Film is a matter of pride for the Telugu people. No wonder that the Chief Minister of AP has extended his congratulations to the makers. If Chandra Babu Naidu called Baahubali a piece of "pure cinematic brilliance", the legendary director K Raghavendra Rao expressed his happiness over being associated with the film.

Here we bring you the tweets:
