I'm a big fan of Rajamouli, but this is not a biased review. The rating I gave is not just for Rajamouli but the entire unit of Baahubali. Right from the story which reminded me of all the beautiful Indian stories that were part of my childhood,(I'm getting back to reading Amar Chitra Katha now!!!) to every guy who says "Baahubali" in the movie. There were several scenes that gave me goosebumps, not scary ones but like those that put you in awe.
It should just get better from here for Indian Cinema. This should be the benchmark for story telling, direction, script, visuals, sets, screenplay etc.(but not for acting!!!)
The story keeps you hooked to the movie. I wouldn't say too many good things about the movie as they may contain spoilers. But I could compare the movie to a good mythological comic that you would like to read again and again.(So I'm watching the movie again tomorrow!!!)
But I would like to mention why I reduced the two stars 1. The make up was not at all good. Especially Anushka's
2. The costumes could be better, probably more realistic(if you compare costumes in Troy or even Hercules, they were more relevant)
3. At times people in the background were not true to the scene, my concentration was distracted due to some idiots who didn't match the scene. A few villagers, few priests, few classical dancers, few tribal guys. The Kalakeya warriors were amazing though.
4. WHO THE HELL CHOSE TO PUT AN ITEM SONG. There were many uufffs in the theatre at that time. How the hell did probably an eastern European end up in that.
5. There were a few glitches in the VFX, like whenever the hero is jumping around... it made it look unnatural. That's poor graphics. I'm not an expert on this but few of those jumping sequences could be avoided. You don't see them in Hollywood mythological except for superhero movies which are more convincing.
But not too many complaints about that as I understand there are certain budget constraints for VFX but Makeup, there is no excuse for that.
All said and done, it was a fantastic movie and worth the wait and ends with a nice climax which keeps you guessing the 2nd half story.
My favourite characters were Sivagami and Kattappa. I am in love with Ramya Krishna again. I'm watching it again tomorrow.

Fantastic music, fantastic story, characters are very enjoyable and it's fun to figure things out as it goes and of course your fantastic Bollywood moments thrown in~
Great cinematography with concept and story in it . Nice directorial work by S. S. Rajamouli and the budget reflects in a heavy content of the film . I thoroughly enjoyed the paid preview . Its a first real tribute from film industry to the greatest epics of all time "The Mahabharata" .
Luring action sequence and VFX and one of the nicest delivered again from south .
Making bollywood look bad again in India , its absolutely not catching up with the southern films .
I am a north Indian and not a great fan of south but they really making bollywood run for its money spree .
First I then Kanchana 2 and now the mighty Bahubali .
Story - 9/10 Acting - 8/10 Visuals - 10/10
Overall 9/10

I would simply say.. Get away from anyone giving review. Go and watch this movie. You will be surprised by it. Not everyday are we going to get movies like this. Don't keep high expectations about the movie, unless you have seen previous Rajamouli films ;) (like Magadheera, Eega). I would definitely say watch on bigger screens like imax or xd. Background score is simply awesome and as usual rajamouli makes best use of the music for his sets.
Visuals are good. All characters did their part. Cannot name anyone particularly. I liked the main character most. I will be watching the movie at least two more times :). Hope y'all njoy it.

The story is based on Prabhas as Shivudu raised on tribal standards who fell by fate for Tamanna as Avanthika in the movie.

Some called it rave but most of them who have watched it are calling it awe-inspiring & fancier than their imaginative thought.

Did you know
- TriviaThe waterfalls scene in the movie is actually shot at a set of Athirapally Waterfalls in Kerala over which VFX were added to make it look real and larger than life. Creating the enormous waterfall took nearly 2 years as Makuta has to deal with a lot of complexity in fluid dynamics and simulations. The characterization of lead character Sivudu revolves around this humongous waterfalls.
- GoofsDuring the War Sequence Sivagami, Bijjala Deva etc are watching the war from hill top/elevation and respond to each and every incident of war which is almost impossible as the war is happening in tens of acres and is difficult to identify who's doing what.
- Crazy creditsAs the film ends, the second part "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion" is credited as coming in 2016.
- Alternate versionsWas simultaneously shot in Telugu and Tamil, thus original versions in both languages exist.
