The movie starts with Sivagami (Ramya Krishnan) carrying a baby and drowning into the river at foothills of mountain and the tribal villagers rescue the baby.  Rohini takes care of the baby and brings him up. The baby grows up as Sivudu (Prabhas).  He has the habit of climbing up the tall mountains surrounding his place.  One fine day he meets Avanthika (Tamannah) on top of the mountain and the rest forms the crux of the film.  The film ends incomplete giving a note that a sequel is on the way by 2016.  Revealing anything beyond this may be a spoiler.  Better rush to the nearest cinema hall to enjoy the grand show by Rajamouli.

Negative Points:

Unwanted Glamour in the song

Average Background Score
Predictable Story
Poor Performance by Tamannah

What is excellent in Bahubali?

Stunning visuals and the CG work in the second half is top notch. Especially the war scene is Superb. Rajamouli proved his caliber yet again in this film.  The visual effects in the second half match up to hollywood standards.

What changes would have made the film even better?

1) Tamannah is the wrong choice.  The character doesn't suit her image.  Should have assigned some other actress for Avanthika role.
2) I don't know why Rajamouli is not willing to assign some other renowned music composers like Illayaraja or AR Rahman for his films.  If Illayaraja or AR Rahman have done music for this film, the film would have been lifted to another level.  I feel the music in this film is just average.  The background scores are not effective.  Never had any feeling while watching the film.  For these kind of period films, music plays a major role.  But in this film, music is a big let down.
3) Songs are unwanted for this film.  Just to please few telugu audience, i think the director has included glamour and songs in the film. The CG work on first song with Tamannah is awful. Even the item song in the second half is a third loo break.
4) Could have focused more on the story.
5) Should have trimmed the first half and made it more gripping.

Over all Verdict:

Sheer brilliance seen on the second half makes us forget all the flaws and enjoy the film completely.  Rajamouli has done a commendable job and made all indians proud. Over all it is a movie that can be enjoyed for its visuals. Book your tickets immediately if you have not watched the film yet.

Rating: 3/5

Good review.  The film was over all ok.  But not worth the hype that was created
