Baahubali- The Beginning

Baahubali is NOT a Bollywood movie. Just because the movie has been released in Hindi does not make it a Bollywood film. In fact, Bollywood is not capable of making such movies. It is a Telugu movie which was made in Tamil and Telugu and dubbed in Hindi, Malayalam and French. Reason? It is the most expensive movie in Indian cinema today and the only way to earn profits is to release it in as many languages as possible. I guess the strategy worked. 

The movie stars Prabhas, Rana Daggubati (so hot), Tamannaah, Anushka Shetty and Ramya Krishnan. 

The movie is about two brothers warring for the throne. The story is nothing new. In fact, the first half is a drag. We were about to walk out of the flick and walk into "Inside Out" playing in the next screen but DT cinemas was dealing with a leaking roof and their systems were down so we couldn't book the tickets. 
I am glad we stayed till the end because the pace picks up in the 2nd half. 
Let me warn you though- if you are like me, you will have to leave every brain cell outside the theatre to enjoy this one. 

Hyderabad Blues 2

I had watched this flick long, long, long back and didn't enjoy it as much as the 1st part then. Watching it again today made me appreciate it more. This movie has many flaws but the underlying story, situations and what Kukunoor is trying to portray is so real. I haven't seen another movie about marriage which makes you think so much.

When this movie released, we got to know through word of mouth. Watching it was impossible because I don't think it released in the theatres then. And if it did, I wouldn't allowed to watch a movie like this at that age.

You know a movie is simply great when even 16 years after it's release you identify with it and it's relevant. Or it's just that we, Indians, have not evolved much since then.
