Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Magadheera, or The Great Warrior, is a 2009 Indian Telugu-language fantasy action film directed by S. S. Rajamouli. The biggest Bollywood epic ever made at it's time (It has since been surpassed by Baahubali) the movie is granted a 1000-day theatrical release, earning itself the title of the longest running South Indian film. Winning the National Award for Best Choreography and Best Special Effects at the 57th National Film Awards, six Filmfare Awards, nine Nandi Awards and ten CineMAA Awards, the movie made its star Ramcharan Teja a household name for fans of modern Bollywood and Indian cinema.A forbidden love story from 400 years ago is destined to continue in modern-day India; in 1609, the warrior Kala Bhairava and Princess Mithravinda Devi are lovers, but Bhairava must rightfully earn the approval of King Vikram, while the princess' evil cousin, Ranadev Billa, lusts for the princess as well as the throne. After being defeated and humiliated by Kala Bhairava in a chariot race, Ranadev Billa betrays his entire kingdom allowing the neighboring Shere Khan Empire to invade, resulting in the love story to end in ruins.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })400 years later, the story continues with Kala Bhairava reincarnated into a biker, Harsha, who fell for the heiress, Indira, the reincarnation of Princess Devi. While both lovers got off on the wrong foot, she eventually loved him back when he saved her from a group of punks, but as fate would have it, Ranadev Billa is reincarnated as Indira's cousin who wants Harsha out of the picture at all costs.Will the lovers get a second chance after 400 years?

Reincarnation Romance: The very premise of the entire film. The ancient romance between Kala Bhairava the warrior and Princess Devi, which ends with their deaths, is continued in present-day India when they're reincarnated as Harsha and Indira. Unfortunately, the princess' evil cousin, Ranadev Billa, is reincarnated as well into Indira's cousin, Raghuveer, leading to their centuries-old rivalry to continue in the present.

In the penultimate final confrontation, Harsha retrieves the same sword, and Ranadev's skull, horned helmet and all, is still embedded in its blade, after 400 years.

Take It to the Bridge: Arguably the film's most iconic and memorable scene, and one of the manliest moments in the history of Indian cinema, when Kala Bhairava battles a hundred Shere Khan soldiers on a rock bridge over a deep chasm. By the end of the fight loads and loads of dead enemies covers the bridge's surface, while plenty more are splattered on the bottom of the chasm.
