I convinced myself that I'l be disappointed. Helped me lower my expectations because of which I could enjoy it better 😆 The last half an hour was a joke tbh. Matlab he doesn't even indulge in planning and strategising and straightaway wages a war. And eventually wins it too. I swear he din deserve to become the king. Apart from the one fact that he was blessed with amazing parents and they were unfairly denied whatever they deserved 😆 Bless SSR for showing Tamannah only for 5 seconds. Best part of the film IMO 😆
+1 to everything you said. I was discussing this with another friend and we realized how its unfair to compare Baahubali with Ram/Arjun like some reviews did. Cos for one, unlike both the epics, he never let loyalty/obedience/promise overrule his strong sense of right and wrong. Yes, he was loyal/obedient to a fault but that never stopped him from standing up for what is right. But yeah, Devasena was totally on the lines of Draupadi. No nonsense, confident and feisty. I was actually convinced there will be atleast one scene where Baahubali feels guilty for hurting his mother or berating Devasena for being rude to his mom. The fact that there was not a single scene on those lines and he was happy to do the right thing made me so happy as a viewer 😆
LOL @ Oedipus complex. If that is what a viewer derives out of their relationship, I have nothing to say 😆 Its true though that she was the most important person in his life but she din have that same faith on his love and loyalty which eventually destroyed all their lives.
I think I will go watch this again after a few days 😆
