Movie review/comments on Bahuballi - 2.
-----------------------------------------------
( There may be few Spoilers, avoid reading,.. if have not seen the movie )
I saw the movie, finally,... very closely,... and even watching every 20 minutes of sections, 3-4 times.
Movie is right on the mark, say 3.75 out of 5.0, with enough actions and Tod-fod and destruction. Theater watch' should be Paisa Vasool.
Here are my own and very personal observations, after watching this movie - Do not consider this as any review, from me.
1. In the end, what Prabhas should have shown, deadly hitting to the Bhalla and his father, is not betterly/properly shown. ( they both are shown almost of equal caliber - Hum dono barabar,..50/50 ) What happened to his cunning father, and some chamchas like his Pandit,.. is not properly shown.
2. Bahubali - 2 , has Tamanna ( Avanthika ) in totally negligible role, ( very few, end fighting shots ) with not a single dialect, and many would consider this part, as if, Tamanna was not there.
3. Movie would had been better, if it was shown somehow as, Raaj-Mata ( Ramya ) is still zinda, and somehow comes alive from somewhere in the end ( say, she was saved by some fisherman from that river ) and like Sanju baba's movie Vastav, if she kills her own son, Bhalla(Rana) and her husband ( Nassar),... Movie would had been a lot more effective.
4. In the end, Katappa is not shown fighting properly and effectively, nor he was shown in the fights at Devsena's kingdom.
5. Part 1 and 2 both are complimentary of each other,... And have secret-results hidden in each other part. For example,... Why Anushka shetty was a Bandii and what for,... or Why Kataapps killed senior Bahubali, is not shown in part 1.
Who was Tamanna and how Anushka shetty came in the village with Junior Bahuballi,...or, how Jr. Bahuballi grew up, is not shown in part 2.
So? Director should had rather released both the parts together. Those who watch only part 2 is half puzzled, and so was with the part 1.
6. Once you watch the movie, not in the theater but on TV and watch clips 2-3 times you realize, all southie actors ( Prabhas, Bhalla, Anushka, Rajmata ) are not that sharp or can bring the acting that sharp and smartly on their face, so, If I compare Bajirav's Dipika, or Aishwarya as Jodha, or Hema in Sholey,.. Salman in PRDP, SRK in Asoka, Supriya Pathak in Bhansali's Ram-Leela,.. ... still the acting department ( facial expression ) was poor by Prabhas and Bhalla and all,... if you compared their facial expressions, per the scene situations. However,...Height body of Prabhas and Bhalla was appropriate as per the movie,...
7. Movie does not show, why Devsena's own kingdom people did not help her at all,
during her's young time and when she was in trouble. What, her kingdom and sena was doing? ,
8. Movie's after the interval,... many scenes remain in dark, ( night-shots ) and it's not properly lighted scenes, god knows what the director is showing,... in dark scenes. ( e.g. - Devsena's kingdom was attacked,... or,... when Katappa was punished for Raj-droh...or.. when Katappa killed Bahuballi.
9. Dialects could had been written little better,... Also, background music could had been made lot better in certain areas..
10 Imo,...This movie was missing the WWF wrestler Khali,.. and I think, he should rather had given few role-part, as a right hand man of Bhalla,... Just like that Tall and Saw-teeth guy of the James bond movie,..
11.Movie had two scene-situations, which was very eye-catching and holding one, despite of other so many, so many destruction works shown everywhere. A) Prabhas 3 arrows pulling scenes simultaneously, saving Devsena in her kingdom. B ) Prabhas takes off the neck of that Bogus Senapati ( like Shishupal vadh in Mahabharat )
12.Tamannas' own army/sena is not shown, fighting for her. Also she is not shown properly in the end, as Bahu of Jr. Bahuballi.
13.Movie is mainly for toddlers and junior kids, without having any sex or bedroom sort of scenes, and Movie's Each frame, can be made in a book of "Amar-Chitra Katha " or say,.. Phantom / Vetaal / Tarzan kind of Colorful picture story.
14.Movie could had added few funny and Chaploosi sort of guys like Paresh Rawal and Asarani or Jhonny Lever, in Bhalla's father's cunning team, with more comedy and that would had made this movie of complete 3 hours...
15. Looking at that much box office success in Crs of amount, I would say,.. Movie is little over-hyped... Facial expression of acting part remains poor, no matter who you choose,... if it's not proper Bollywood stars,... like Hema, Rakhee, Dipika, Salman ( look at her facial expression sin Bajrangi Bhaiijaan or PRDP v/s Prabahs ), SRK ..etc. Prabhas is more suit as a Arjun or Karna's role in Mahabharat,.. IMO
