Black-marketeers make moolah

-

Telugu filmmakers. The ending is clichéd and routine, largely due to the overuse of graphics.

Rajamouli concentrat­es on graphics in the action scenes, too, rather than on the drama or the romance and entertainm­ent. It’s not wrong to use graphics, but you have to add emotional content and a good story.

When it comes to performanc­es, Prabhas is excellent as Amarendra Baahubali; he actually looks like a Royal King. He lived the part particular­ly in the second part.

Ramya Krishna carries the same punch from the first part. She proves again that she is best suited to play the role of Sivagami.

Anushka as Devasena plays her part well and looks beautiful. Rana Daggubati shows his evil side in this part, in another memorable role. Nasser is definitely a highlight of the film. He is superb as he schemes his wicked ideas, and Satya Raj as Kattappa too is good. Subba Raju's comedy is not up to the mark, though he improves as the film progresses. Tamannah is seen in the climax for a few seconds.

Technicall­y, the film is brilliant with Senthil Kumar's photograph­y being the strong soul of the film. The grandeur of the fort and some of the action scenes are shot very well.

The other highlight is music director M.M. Keeravani, who has composed a good background score. He always gives his best to Rajamouli's films; may be the brothers understand each other well. The dialogues are not memorable as the film relies on visual grandeur.

'Baahubali: The Conclusion is a milestone in Telugu cinema for its good technical values. The story is predictabl­e but Rajamouli spices it up with grand visual effects. The lengthy action scenes and the climax may be a mite boring, but watch the film at least once for the grand scale of operations and, of course, the answer to ‘Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali’.
