Rajamouli has cast his magic
through the movie and a minute appearance that he performs in the movie also
calls for whistles. There are visual effects everywhere in the movie. There are
only countable scenes without any VFX. But the digital work is so great that it
is a feast to eyes. Maahishmati, the empire of fiction is a work of wonder. Minutest
details from each scene are well addressed. Prabhas seem to have generously
granted a depth and effect to his voice. Though everyone has casted life into
their characters, Ramyakrishna as Shivagaami has an outstanding performance. Sudeep
has a guest appearance which notions that he may have more to perform in its
upcoming sequel.
The whole plot reminds us,
kannadigas of the super famous “Mayura”, a Dr.Rajkumar starrer based on the
rise of Mayura kingdom. Prabhas, a prince grown up with tribes realizes a
constant trepidation to climb up the humongous waterfalls though his tribe is
against the unseen danger beyond the waterfalls. Similar to Rajkumar in “Mayura”
who experiences repeated dreams of a lady asking him to conquer the throne. When
inspired from Amar chitra katha, it is bound to have a semblance in many
stories is what I feel. Story of Baahulabli has coinciding picks from histories
of Maharana Pratap, Shivaji and few other Rajput kingdoms too.
Almost half hour floods our
senses with the war being fought. War seems a short word for its causes and effects.
The actual war to be fought might take a few days. But there is a try to show
us the strategy with which each party proceeds. The strategy with which the
catapults succeed in killing a huge part of enemy’s army is worth watching. The
war formations brought the scenes that I had read from Amish’s trilogy alive.
Once the movie comes to a sudden
halt is when u realize the movie is over. Longing for the rest of the story and
the visual feast, the audience leaves the theatre with a heavy heart and
silence.
