Bahubhali, A mirabile | Movie Review


It’s difficult to write a genuine review without some spoilers, so let me make this clear.. It will have some! If you haven’t watched the movie yet, go watch it, feel it, enjoy it and come back with pride for a review!! I don’t do reviews often, So don’t expect a Traditional Style.

There is a bit in the trailer, which reveals, people trying to pull a huge statue of Bhallaladeva, revealing his might and cruelty at the same time. The director established the scale of Bahubali, with the same style, with the name Bahubali, being pulled up , which is mightier than you can expect. A word is sure to come from your heart, at that very moment : Mesmerizing.

The promotions of this movie took place by releasing a poster every week. By this, the makers caught your pulse. You will wait for those moments and when they do arrive, you are sure to cheer. When the young Bahubali, hidden for the time being as shivudu raises with free spirit, you tend to raise your love for him along with that. My favourite song in the movie is ‘shivudu’ and for me, the scene itself turns to a favourite.

After experiencing some extraordinary visuals for the first time in Telugu film, the director actually drags you into narration. The visuals continue to treat you but it's hard to distinguish.. For they almost feel a part of the story. Hero’s character is established with some mighty fights and at the same time running the story along. It won’t be exaggerating, if I say, you would want to see Amarendra Bahubali as early as possible. The director, does give you that.

More than Bahubali, its Ramya Krishna and Sathyaraj, who stay in your minds even long after the movie. It is just because of some splendid action from both of them. As the movie goes on Prabhas, sorry Bahubali becomes larger than life. It may sometimes occur to you that, Bahubali and Bhallaladeva are not humans and it won’t be hard for you to believe that.

Tamanna impressed with her angry yet cute character. You may feel, little weird on how the warier Tamanna is transformed into a Romantic Girl. The director does some good work, in rushing through the obvious yet required narration and giving you moments to fall in love with, feel pain, wait for revenge.

The bullfight, is sure a quality C.G.I. Rana excelled himself in the fight scene. I should say, Bahubali, the Beginning, could not quite showcase the cruelty and ability of Rana but there are sure, in stock for the conclusion next year.

Anushka does reminds us of Arundhati, when she yells back at Satyaraj. Hold your seats tight. We are yet to see the Anushka, who flashed in the Making Videos of Bahubali.

Prabhas, The Bahubali. The word itself describes him. He excelled as an actor and eased into the role. There can be no word, that can describe his dedication. Rajamouli, the entire team has given, the Telugu Film Industry, moments to be proud of. Hatsoff.

Wait…..

This is not the end. For the one, who watched Bahubali, it won’t be difficult to imagine, what’s in stock for Bahubali - The Conclusion. We are sure to get some interesting plots from Bhallaladeva, Love Story between Amarendra Bahubali and Devasena and Finally the epic battle between Bahubali's and Bhallaladeva. It won’t be any superlative, if I say, we are going to get, a traditional version of “Batman v. Superman”.

Note: Bahubali - The Beginning is the first movie I reviewed in my writing career and I am so over whelmed by the fact that, It grabbed the Best film award at 63rd National Film Awards, India. It also won the Best Special effect category. Congratulations to the whole team.

I do what I do | Book Review

Book Name: I do What I do Author: Raghuram Rajan Publisher: Harper Collins, 2017 (978-93-5277-014-4) One of the most anticipated Economic Book of the year, especially coming from an Ex-RBI governor and one who left RBI just before the Demonetization. As the sensation loving media, repeatedly asked Mr. Rajan's take on Demonetization and his eventual silence had lead up to anticipation that this book may hold some necessary answers. There is a wide spread rumor in media and general public that, Raghuram Rajan was removed by the government (Which is not true!) and installed a Gujarat Cadre Civil Servant Dr. Urjit Patel, who now has turned into a puppet of The current Government (again, not true!). Surprisingly, this book holds some answers, but not exactly to the sensational questions but to those questions, which may effect the credibility of RBI. My Initial take on the book - A Bunch of well arranged speeches, which is not much of a sensational material for media, which ...

It's time to think - Mr. Terrorist!

I have always searched for the purpose of attacks by terrorists or what-so-ever they call themselves. Most of the times, it is their inhuman acts that keep them in lime light. Is it what they want?? To be popular!! They claim, we are spreading the message!! Ironically, the message given by a peaceful preacher reaches us, truly and deeply! How can you support the fact the you are spreading the message with something called violence. How can you forget this simple logic that love and respect can spread a message of God or anything easily than fear!! Revenge!! On whom! Who is the first person who started this? I definitely see a lack of common sense here! So pity on you!! Money!! I guess, this is the most difficult way of earning some. Even if you are earning, are you living a normal life? Don't you realise the place you live is called forest or a dark place for a normal civilian! What?? What else can be the reason?? Prestige . Are you kidding me......

Music, From within!!

Music, I hear – Not from organs, not from outside But from the chords of within! Knew, the meaning – Friends, foes, loved ones Birds, kitties and strangers Does anyone around me! The loneliness of city Promises of politics Struggles of money, study and food Are all in the music! I hear it from within!! I hear it from within!! Strange it is! Strange it is! No body hears, the Music. Strange it is! Strange it is! No body hears, the Music. For they ignore it. Ugly it sounds, For those who can hear it. Stories it say, Of suffering, of fear Of a life they dreamt of All their life. Hear it, hear it – For they need you!! I hear it from within!! I hear it from within!! with love, Bala Krishna
