Although I admire Devasena, maybe she shouldn't have reacted as aggressively/harshly. Amarendra is calm and he makes the right decisions. He is intelligent and I'm sure he knows how to convince his mom. Poor guy was sandwiched between the 2 ladies

One scene I really loved was the moment when Mahendra leaped into the air to deliver the final blow to Bhalla, and we saw the image of Amarendra form in the skies behind him.👏That final blow was as much Amarendra's revenge as it was Mahendra's, which he delivered through his living and breathing son.

I agree, but then Devasena was so perfect already, she had to have a flaw to be human. 😉 Her flaw was being quick to express her anger. In every situation, her anger was completely justified, but instead of spewing venom in her words, she could have kept her anger in check and dealt with the issues more subtly. I think that's why Bahubali and Devasena were so perfect together. They balanced each other out. Devasena taught Bahubali that the world is not perfect and it's important to fight for justice, even if it means going against one's family, while Bahubali taught Devasena that there are different ways of fighting injustice, and sometimes keeping quiet bears fruit more than spewing harsh words. I think that's why Devasena mostly kept quiet during her 25 years of imprisonment. She adopted her husband's calmer approach, knowing that anger would get her nowhere and that one day, justice would be hers, but she would have to be patient for it.

Yup.. as Amarendra had said earlier.. Touching Devasena was like touching his sword... a dishonor for any warrior! So by capturing Devasena and keeping her imprisoned, it gave him the feeling of having an upper hand over Baahu!

Sivagami's problem started when she promised Devsena to Bhalla, without knowing how Devsena feels about the entire thing. Of course, one could send proposals, no harm in doing that. But promising? Devsena is no toy or anything.

Sivagami wanted to make her son happy because at some level, she knew that he was being magnanimous about the coronation of Amarendra as King. What she didn't know I'd that magnanimity was false.

Devsena's rebuttal was spot on.

But why did they have to endure this torture for 25 years for no fault of theirs?! How is it the good winning over the evil? That guy ruled Maahishmati for 25 years, he was living happily, he tortured Deva days and nights..., I wish Amarendra was alive somewhere and he came back 😭

Even I didn't expect it from him! I mean, I always thought he did very well in his other movies, but I didn't know he was capable of this much. He truly exceeded everyone's expectations.

You know, I initially thought the hype over this movie was overdone, and expected it to be melodramatic and OTT, but then I saw part 1 and loved it, and then I saw part 2 and fell in love.

This movie deserved all the hype it got and more.😎

I think it'd be doing a disservice to Mahendra to consider him a "rebirth" of his dad. He was his own person, with his own personality, strengths and weaknesses. I think the only likeness he shared with his father was the physical features, and perhaps the strength and determination to do good to others. In everything else, they were vastly different.

I know!!! That part of the story irked me too! How can this be good winning over evil.. ?? It's not fair! And I was wishing the same but I guess if that were to happen, there was no point of Mahendra if u think about it!

ALl good/ even grey characters suffered ! But I guess it's like the real justice will win even if it's years late!
