This article is a vague comparison of different genere movies to prove that his article gets some value by using bahubali name. You can admire other producers but you have no heart in discouraging Rajamouli.
Why has Bond stories and films post Ian Fleming also been so successful all over the world, is not a very difficult question. The fantasy of Arabian Nights if now been filmed by a good filmmaker will be more successful in the modern era of science and technology and computer and IT. Prabhas, with good physical fitness and look, will be more successful in fantasy movies - mythology or spy game with good looking young women actors around - than NTR. Bahubali 2 I have viewed in a theatre, I was looking at Shivagami and was thinking what she was thinking, I adored the character. Filming was so good, the elephants, the men, the warriors, women so natural with sword and native martial arts - grandeur in totality.

Bahuballi is a spectacular movie with great direction and story implementation in a superior and artistic manner.never before seen by Indian Audience...Instead of encouraging and supporting the public in watching the movie..people are making false comments about it...Real great movie from Rajamouli sir.. Must appreciate the extent the public has loved it..Effort put in Bahuballi making is extreme
could have saved the trouble of saying so much if he had just said that the very fact that this movie has enjoyed such huge commercial success proves that the great majority of commoners in this country are stuxpid beyond redemption !
Ex Supreme Court Justice Markandeya Katju says in one posting..
Looking at the maddening crowds for Bahubali gives a indication that 90% of Indian population are idiots.
It is like in olden days Roman rules casually remarked that if people did not have basic facilities and requirements met, show them monkey tricks and entertainment to whet their appetite.
Indian dispensation says: If the Government is unable to provide basic facilities, amenities and requirements to its citizens, do the following to mesmerise them: 1) Religion 2) Cinema 3) Celebrity worship 4) Cricket 5) Godman/Women 6) Astrological prophecies
Cinema audio launch, movie launch, cinema interviews, cinema scenes, cinema comedies, cinema fights, cinema songs, cine/tv actors/actresses star programmes, song competition, dance competition etc etc. The list is endless....
I am also a movie buff, but clearly movies have to fulfil a certain basic foundation. Good Story Definite theme/message Acting skills of actor's/actresses have to truly reflect the art of acting Abhor violence, adultery Songs, dances if at all required, should be really relevant to the situation, theme and the art of music/dance should be resplendent
I watched Bahubali 1 & 2, I liked it, but would never go to the extent of saying great....Simple family rivalry in the ruler dispensation, that's it...It has been there since Mahabaratha days over generations of rulers...
The grandeur scale may be given 10/10, but rest of it, silly...
Anything hyped beyond reasonable limits tends to disappoint. Same is the case with Baahubali. Then again, if you only want to enjoy the spectacle and leave credibility aside, such movies have their value. In time, another movie will take its place.
Bahubali 1 & 2 are landmark films in Indian film history. The author is trying gain attention by giving his negative views on the films. No film is perfect simply because you can not please everybody, so does Bahubali films, they might have several flaws but at the end the film has been liked by many people not only in India but oversees too and earned lot of money. We should be proud of such cinema which shows glimpses of our old culture and thereby glorifying it. Ignore such attention seeking authors and enjoy the film.
