Baahubali is not a mere spectacle, it is the triumph of Rajamouli’s fearless imagination

In 1948, when an obsessive SS Vasan, owner of Gemini Studios, spent all I had to do Chandralekha, the most expensive Hollywood Non then took the country by storm by its great show, scale and creative daredevilry. Indian cinema, still in its early stages and equipment limited budget, had not seen anything like this before.
Thirty years later, director Telugu B Vittalacharya, another visionary celluloid, led his audience crazy with visual illusions in his Jaganmohini. In a time when all you had to do in the film, Vittalacharya dreamed big and broke new ground with his camera tricks, clever lighting and sets to create visual effects unprecedented in India.
With Baahubali, director SS Rajamouli Telugu has claimed the legacy of Vasan and his bold vision Vittalacharya art cinema entertainment. It is an amazing sensual experience, not only for the stunning, high-definition shows, the grandeur, but also the fascinating drama of cinema that only a teacher can unravel.

Baahubali history is no different from the mythological age of scams we read and re-read and Amar Chitra Katha and Chandamama magazine – kingdoms, brave men, fratricidal strife, invasions and wars.
A benevolent regalia, with his masterful exaggerated aura, and its loyal tribes make the picture complete. Rajamouli take this thread and goes wild with your imagination. It rolls out in front of us is a show 4K Dolby Atmos is both surprising and endearing time, something we’ve never seen in India before.
Undoubtedly, in the center of Baahubali it is the art of film, a story of India and the highly skilled storytelling. Without them, the film would have fallen flat as the VFX misadventures as Ra One and Kochadaiyaan.
Everything Rajamouli used in the film – great production design, visual effects and foley luxury, elaborate costumes, great music, classic photography and well choreographed fight sequences and war – are really only incidental and therefore do not stand between him and the viewer -Experience. There are situations and sequences that are so dramatic and imaginative offering brand new experiences for the same old stories and emotions.
The sequence of the song, for example, between the hero (Prabhas) and female-pair (Tamanna) is a shining example of unbridled imagination conjures Rajamouli and how adequate resources – lovely music, lovely performances, stunning locations and effects visual poetry – to make it work. Such is the delicious fantasy. Similarly, every scene starring Ramya Krishnan reeks of royal authority, thanks to the right camera angles and movements and expressions consistent. Action sequences, including melee, are fresh and unique.
Tamanna, who had a bad run in Bollywood despite its great success in the south, it looks great in those fight scenes in the jungle. Also noteworthy is the good looking human bodies are in this movie – watch out for shooting a lean and well built Prabhas topless and dance sequence with three women looking at a bar.
There is no point in reaffirming the quality and scale of Baahubali show that everyone is talking about – the sweeping landscapes, huge sets and multiple locations (at least in India and Bulgaria) that dovetail with effects visual quality, stunning fights and the compelling war sequences. Yes, it is true that each scene is dripping from greatness and rarely dives into consistency.
The film is also participating in terms of emotions and drama. Especially notable are veteran music composer Keeravani, showing a diverse repertoire and chamber Senthil Kumar. Performances of the main cast, from industries Tamil and Telugu films are measured and not over the top. There are occasional flashes of Telugu kitsch, but above all embellish the scenes.
By his own admission, special effects is just a tool that Rajamouli used to improve the quality of their narrative. In his latest film Eagan (Makhi in Hindi), he used large amounts of visual effects to tell an emotional story featuring a cute fly front. The film was so well prepared that worked both as a story of love and revenge thriller. Before Eagan, he had made another epic story titled Magadheera which also had a lot of special effects. In Baahubali, it seems to have found a better balance between the grand spectacle and human emotions, while raising the quality bar manifold.
Ultimately Baahubali is the triumph of the bold imagination of Rajamouli and control over the means and the technical skills of India. While the visuals were prepared by specialists graphics studios around the world, it is a film designed and produced in India. And in character, is India to the core.
