The film “Bahubali: The Beginning” showcases the history in its beauty and cruelty.
Structuralism and content both influence to each other and
they make a complete cinematic art together. The South Indian film “ Bahubali:
The beginning” is a great combination of structure and content that has made the
film great and awesome aesthetically.
The beauty of the film is a natural landscape of jungle, its
huts, mountains and continuous fall of water and beyond this heighted mountain,
there is a grand fortified monarchy that offers stunning beautiful young woman
warrior to the handsome protagonist who has been curious to see something
startling thing. A beautiful mask fascinates him too much to go beyond the
mountain because this mask has fallen to him from the mountain. Behind this
mask, he finds a catchy, chiseled and slender girl who attracts him as his
first love.
The story has romance, action and human characters like king
and affair of his kingdom who belong to a monarch that has conflicts from the
coronation of present king who has connived to get the power of kingdom that
has tacitly been waiting for an upright dethroned real king of throne, who is
unknowingly living in the downhill in midst of the ancient kingdom called
MAHISHMATI. The unbiased and queen Shivagami flees with the protagonist child,
flowing in streaming water from the mountain.
This growing boy called Shiva loves the girl Avantika, the
warrior girl and adopts her mission to save the mother of Mahabali , who has
been imprisoned in the kingdom by the present king Bhallal Dev who is reigning
the kingdom ruthlessly by killing his king brother Amrendra Bahubali. Shivagami drowns into river, lifting the would-be BAHUBALI(King
of Mahishmati) in her hand, pointing towards the crest of mountain. Shiva
fights against his kingdom and saves his mother.
Before the fade-out of the film, the director S.S.
Rajamauli has given strong hint for its
second part that will provide a clear revelation of the film.
Story of the film “ Bahubali: The beginning” hovers around
ancient plot of Indian history that has got magnificent cinematic treatment
with its mega digital showcasing that fascinates the audiences. Script spreads
into its characters and grand palatial set up above the heightened , curvilinear
mountain. The huge set up of arms and armoury, horse-ridden-war-chariots, lavish
and colorful costumes as well as ferocious devilish costumes and arms of opponent troops hold the breathe of
audiences.
The film has appeared with a simple story of a monarch that
is not so extraordinary but the director’s skill of playing the monarch story
with its heavy, vast locations and props make the film outstanding and awesome.
The huge props like arms and armors have special attention during shooting and
that is museum. Museum has been erected to place all the props for each
character of the film so that film may not suffer from any sort of impasse that
gives the flaws in continuity.
The protagonist Prabhas has superbly excelled in romancing
with heroine Tamannah and in action .The heroine is superbly skilled in
war-affair. Rana Daggubatti ‘s huge personality has been made more huge ,using
low camera angle and his fight with ferocious animal. Anushka Shetty has been
shackled with heavy chain .She is the mother of protagonist. Her eyes have
sense of vendetta against the present
king who killed her king husband.
The name of a warrior character Kattapa
bizarrely sounds but it is full of power..
Comparison has begun. The first film of South
India that has been made at par with the level of Hollywood, creates soothing
hope and enthusiasm. The film has made handsome and fastest making of Rs.500
Crores of film club among Indian Films. The investors will gather the courage
to invest their capitals in such mega budget films.
The superb skill of technicians and
entrepreneurship of filmmakers of South India can be seen through the film that
is lacking in Bollywood Films.
The director Mr. S. Rajamauli has been famous
for making such mega budgeted films before. Film "Magadheera" is
such his mega hit film based upon historical monarchy that comes to the modern
age in surprising way of dealing and relating the present birth of protagonist
characters to the past. It was national awarded movie too.
The VFX team of "Jorasic World" has been crafting the set and motion of animate and inanimate
characters of this film " Bahubali: The Beginning". So same feel of
technology can be observed.
The great historical fiction “MUGAL-E- AZAM”
is the great school of Indian Cinema that was made in 1960. This film took long
ten years to complete but each take and composition are meticulously and
cinematically beautiful. The film was re-released in color print.This film has
romantic song sequence that has only colour film.
The director S.S. Rajamauli has proved before
and now too with his released mega historical film “ Bahubali: The beginning”.
