Baahubali The Epic is an Indian action epic directed by SS Rajamouli, starring Prabhas, Rana Dagubbati, Anushka Shetty, Ramya Krishnan and Sathyaraj.
Epic cinema was truly defined decades ago with films like Pathala Bhairavi (1951) and Mayabazar (1957) in Telugu cinema, and Mughal-E-Azam (1960) in Bollywood.
These weren’t mere entertainers; they were grand allegories of love, valor, and sacrifice.
The heroes of that era, including N.T. Rama Rao, Akkineni Nageswara Rao, and Sivaji Ganesan in the South, and Dilip Kumar, Dharmendra, and Amitabh Bachchan in the North, redefined the concept of mass-friendly cinema.
Baahubali arrives as a spectacular amalgamation of those glorious traditions, combining myth, folklore, grandeur, and cinematic audacity into one spellbinding experience.
Author's summary: Baahubali redefines epic cinema with grandeur and emotion.
