He hears about the injustice done to his father, the torture his mother endured and he just wants revenge.. He doesn't want to wait for it! I think that's why they went with this..

But I agree.. I would've preferred the other option!

^^ Only glitch with that idea is that Bahubali would never have hid away while Sivagami's life was in danger, or Devasena was being imprisoned, so he'd have immediately attacked Bhalla to rescue both or either of them, resulting in his death some other way.

Personally, I'd like to have seen him die at Bhalla's hands, and Katappa simply feels responsibly for it because he wasn't able to protect him, and that's why he tells Mahendra in part 1 that he "killed" Amarendra. The killing need not have been physical but symbolical. I think that would've made for a better suspense than simply having Katappa blindly following orders and killing his beloved Bahu.

She herself had rejected so many proposals for Baahubali, why couldn't others? Because MM was a bigger and stronger kingdom? So unfair. Exactly!

When Devsena was arriving at MM, Katappa told her that Sivagami would nurture as a daughter, not as a daughter in law. Unfortunately, Sivagami didn't treat her as either, just someone who would give birth to the next heir of MM. And in front of Devsena, she took away every thing what her husband stood for and desired, including a Mother's love. That was the worst one - anything else they wouldn't have cared about .. but taking away that mother's love... she knew how much it pained her husband! She tried to do her part but she also knew it was Sivagami's place!

Even during the godh bharai ceremony, Devsena realised that Sivagami didn't know about Bhalla's plan to remove Amara as Senadhipati, and yet was keeping mum. She pointed out correctly that Sivagami's silence would be more harmful. And yes, it was. Yeah.. U know besides Bhalla & Bijjala, Devasena was the only one, who clearly saw where this was heading.. except she didn't think Sivagami or Kattappa would go to this extent! 😭

It got her son liked, his entire family suffered heavily, the Kingdom suffered.

I think Sivagami loved both of them equally...actually, I think she loved Bhalla a little more, because only love can blind someone to faults. She saw how Bhalla killed the Mahishmati people without care during the Kalakeya war. How can she not know his nature after that? She was purposely blind to his cold nature. And also I think Bhalla was just very sneaky and kept his feelings and jealousy hidden. And if you truly love someone, how can you kill them? I might get angry at my family, yell at them, not talk to them. But I can't imagine that if one of them hurts my ego I would go so far as to get them killed.

Sivagami never really cared about Bhalla. It had always been Baahu. In fact, even though Bhalla was the elder, she was looking for a bride for Baahu. maybe coz he was going to be King pa.. King needs a Queen?
When Baahu said he had promised Devasena that he'd take care of her and protect her, Sivagami was hurt that he didnt respect her promise to Bhalla. It was just that. Maybe Baahu would have explained her calmly and make her understand. But Devasena's outburst had hurt her ego, her pride. Even Amarendra was shocked by Devasena's blast. Yes she was hurt.. and it was that and also the fact that this woman was now important to him more than herself/Maahishamthi! I think that bothered her a lot! And if they had communicated properly, yes, she may have understood but she didn't give them the chance.. she called for this court meeting & presented Devasena there! Devasena just did what she would do at her place.. if she believes something is wrong, she will speak up! That's just her character.
Bhalla played his cards well. He didnt want to interrupt them as Devasena herself started the fight. He was waiting for Baahu's 1 word that could create a split between mom-son. That word was "mistake". Thats when Bhalla let his father speak and add fuel to the fire. Bhalla had been silent most of the time, he showed himself as the sacrificial lamb in front of his mother, he played the victim card.

Bhalla was truly a very well written villain. He hardly said anything, and yet he made everyone dance to his tunes and achieved his ambitions. Bijjaladeva was very vocal in his cruelty, and that's why everyone saw through him and he never got the throne, but Bhalla very early on learned how to hide his wickedness, and played his cards right until the very last moment. He was cruel and wicked, and yet he was so terribly clever. You couldn't help but admire his brains. He was an atypical villain, and was played to perfection by Rana.

This is the first time I'm seeing you without a Ram / Janaki siggy or avatar 😆😆. I doubted if it really was you for a second as well.

My favorite part was when Bijjala was telling him to kill Sivagami and shocking everyone. Bhalla was just calm, collected, and calculating. He heard him out, got him to say everything, and then shut him up by ignoring his idea completely.

Without a doubt, I believe Bhalla would have given Bijjala up if he tried to blackmail him or anything. Everyone was pawns for him. Very well written villain like you said.

On a related note though, I think the true blame of Amarendra's death falls on Kumara. That was brainlessly stupid move on his part.
