Story begins from where Baahubali The Beginning has ended. Rajamata Sivagami (Ramya Krishna) asks Amarendra Baahubali (Prabhas) to tour entire country before swearing in as emperor.
While touring, he heads to Kuntala rajyam and sees beautiful princess Deva Sena (Anushka). He introduces himself as a wanderer to her and not as soon to be emperor. They fall in love.
Due to some incidents Sivagami makes Bhallala the emperor and Baahubali as chief of army staff. Bhallala and his father Bijjala feed wrong information to Sivagami who takes a bold decision. Rest of the movie is about how Sivudus story and Bhalladevas story gets mixed.
Analysis:-
A film is told in two parts is not new to Tollywood audiences but the scale of Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion was never witnessed before.
The first part ended on a cliffhanger and made us want to know why the trusted aide Kattappa killed his own emperor Baahubali. The master director Rajamouli has kept the secret intact till the second half in this second part as he introduces more intrigue in the first half.
The movie begins where the first part concluded with Amarendra Baahubali ready to take the oath of emperor. Before becoming emperor, Sivagami asks him to find out how the people are leading their lives and what are the conditions of the families under their rule.
This sets a new course of drama and introduces us to the Kuntala rajyam that wasn't shown in the first part. Rajamouli cleverly uses this time to focus on the romance of Prabhas and Anushka by withholding the first question Why Kattappa Killed Baahubali
Though the romantic part is not good as the comic scenes inserted are out rightly silly, but the grand visuals makeup for these shortcomings.
The drama moves back to Mahismati when Prabhas and Devasena come to Sivagami, the story progresses into high emotional pitch and ends with an interval bang that would surely bring claps from the audiences.
Post interval, the story further moves with more emotional scenes, and palace conspiracies. The Shakuni kind of drama goes on and on and slowly builds the drama towards the answer to the pertinent question Why Kattappa Killed Baahubali This sequence is handled deftly by Rajamouli.
Whether the reason shown here is unique or predictable is debatable. After this the drama goes down and turns pretty predictable.
The penultimate sequence a nearly 20 minutes lengthy war sequence involving Bhallala Deva and Sivudu is too cliched. Though the war techniques used by Shivudu aka Mahendra Baahubali are unique, they totally lack believability. Added to these, the visual effects fails to awe us.
The second part has revolved around only six characters Amarendra Baahubali, Deva Sena, Sivagami, Kattappa, Ballaladeva and Sivudu. Tamanna only appears during the climax for few seconds. Many portions also lack clarity and seem rushed.
Overall, Baahubali The Conclusion is a true blockbuster movie that is aimed to impress the larger section of audiences.
Rajamouli has stressed more on emotions which were lacking in the first part. So, the film caters to both sections that look for emotions and that want to get swayed by the visuals and war scenes.
