Thin Line on a Large Scale
Rajamouli deserves all the credit for venturing out to make a film on such a scale. His films have always had a thin plot and it is the way he presents that makes all the difference. 'Baahubali - The beginning' too does not make you sit up with the core theme. Except for a revelation in the climax the film traverses along on expected lines. It is the grandeur that keeps camouflaging this.(more)

BAHUBALI is definitely not to be missed
Director S. S. Rajamouli seems to have quite literally developed a definitive masterpiece, with BAHUBALI seeming to be a thoroughly Indian film with its roots firmly planted in mythology, and yet progressive enough to refrain from the age old clich� of show good is more powerful than evil. In fact here a special mention needs to be added as Rajamouli has focused on developing the antagonist as a much more powerful personality who ultimately is defeated. (more)

Baahubali Movie Review
The good king-bad king construct is very, very old hat indeed, but the manner in which it is cast by director and co-writer Rajamouli ensures that the tale has the muscle to run the distance. (more)

Baahubali: The Beginning Movie Review
Touted as one of the most expensive films to be made in India, this highly anticipated part one of the two-part period epic, manages to enthrall you with its sheer scale and grandeur. Painstakingly made, paying acute attention to detail for the minutest of sound and visuals, Rajamouli (Eega, Magadheera) , who spent three years making this ambitious film ensures that the larger-than-life execution matches his grandiose vision.(more)

A little more, a little less
Baahubali is several notches higher than a regular Telugu film. But it was meant to be a game changer, not a regular film. If a spellbinding saga is what you go looking for, some portions can leave you underwhelmed. The writing could have been better. Yet, there's so much to root for.(more)

This SS Rajamouli film is all sound, spectacle
Baahubali, despite its epic dimensions -- with a tendency to copy larger-than-life Hollywood heroic tales like Ben-Hur and Troy -- fails at some level to draw us into the narrative. Even one of the first scenes of a huge statue being erected with the help of slaves works in a very limited way to capture audience attention or set the mood for images of flying swords and falling boulders.

Bahubali is mega, ingenious and envelope pushing!
The first part of the epic leaves behind dollops of rip-roaring entertainment to relish till it�s back to finish what it started in perhaps even more jaw-dropping manner. Rajamouli incites such confidence.(more)
