One of the highlights is the back stories of Sivagami (Ramya Krishnan) and Devasena (Anushka Shetty), whom one saw, rather briefly in the first part. What were the choices that Sivagami had to dabble with in the aftermath of the death of her brother-in-law, Amarendra Baahubali’s father? How does she bring up the two boys – orphaned Amarendra (Prabhas) and her own born Bhallaladeva (Rana Daggubati)? What cataclysmic events lead to her daring effort to save the newborn child, Mahendra Baahubali, after the death of Amarendra, where she sacrifices her life to protect the future of Mahishmati? All these questions get answered here.
What’s more, we also get to know more about the chained queen Devasena, whom Shivudu (Mahendra Baahubali, her son) saves in the first part. We see her journey from a young girl to being a wife and then finally a mother. There is a fair bit of romance in the midst of drama, warfare, politics and palace intrigue.
Of course, there is amble screen time dedicated to Prabhas and Rana Daggubati. As young men are they both vying for Devasena’s affection? Isn’t that almost like Arjun and Karna as suitors for Draupadi’s hand? Well, we all know how big a fan Rajamouli is of the Indian epic, The Mahabharata. Prabhas carries the film on his able shoulders essaying a range of emotions – regal, controlled, authoritative, romantic and a war machine with equal ease. What’s a protagonist without a combative arch rival? Rana Daggubati will remind you of Duryodhan and Karna in equal measure as we see him channel hatred, jealousy, strength and bravery against Baahubali.
Watch out for the action and stunt sequences, executed under the ace direction of action choreographer and stunt coordinator Peter Hein. MM Keeravani’s (MM Kreem) music is just as good as in the first part. He dishes out quite a variety from those that glorify the hero to melodious numbers that suit the romance in the tale. If it was Kailash Kher who wowed you with his inspiring voice in the first part, then watch out for Daler Mehndi’s high-on-energy number in this one.
