Baahubali is a duology of Indian Telugu/Tamil High Fantasy Epic Movies by S. S. Rajamouli, consisting of 2015's Baahubali: The Beginning and 2017's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. The franchise also consists of two prequel television series and novels.Shiva / Shivudu is a young man who was found as an infant by his adopted parents. He lives a carefree life until he finds a band of rebels who reveal his destiny. You see, Shivudu is really Mahendra Baahubali, the son of the former king of Mahishmati, who was usurped by the tyrant who killed him. Mahendra then goes on a quest to both avenge his father and take his rightful throne. Interposed throughout the films are extended flashbacks to the tragedy of the king's fall.The movies are famous for their extravagant special effects, historical influences from Hindu myth, and their notable length. The movies were originally intended to be one single film, but the Indian film board refused to screen a movie that would end up being four and a half hours long, so it ended up being cut into two.Its soundtrack, of course, mainly comprises Filmi Music.Has nothing to do with the first tirthankara of Jainism.

comment
Universally Beloved Leader: During the event where Bhallaladeva has a statue of his likeness raised, gold and several stories high, he gloats that the former king Baahubali has been forgotten. But all it takes is one man seeing Mahendra's face, who looks like his father, for all the workers to begin calling out his name. Even the various musicians and dancers' performance picks up and becomes livelier.

The Time of Myths: The duology is in the Hindu Mythology canon and set in the ancient city of Mahishmati and features the Kalakeyas, a cruel and warlike tribe descended from a demigod. Krishna exists, and it's strongly implied that The Hero is an avatar of Shiva.

Kottapa tearfully responds with the following line, before immediately cutting to another scene to show that he isn't lying;

Book Ends: Baahubali:The Conclusion starts with the flashback of the Devil Immolation Ceremony. This occurs once every 26 years. Sivagami, as the daughter-in-law of the royal family, walked barefoot to the temple of Lord Shiva with a trident in one hand and an urn of burning coal on her head, which is then used to set the effigy of a demon on fire. She completed the walk without breaking her stride when a rampaging elephant is on the loose. The movie ended with Devasena performing a similar walk, also without breaking her stride despite obstacles, and finishing it by setting Bhallaladeva on fire.

Heroic Sacrifice
 Baahubali / int_6439de78
comment
Heroic Sacrifice: Shivagami does a fatal one in the beginning, giving up her life to ensure Mahendra's survival because she gave the order to have his father killed. Non-fatal example; before going to war with the Kalakeyas, Bhallaladeva and Amarendra's armies participate in a ritual to have Kali protect them, which involves an animal sacrifice. Amarendra dislikes this, and decides a better sacrifice would be his own blood, cut from his hand and flung onto the altar.

Nearing the end of the second movie he admits that he has neither romantic or sexual attraction towards her, and was doing so to spite her husband's memory and because he loved torturing her.

Jerkass Has a Point: Devasena denounces Sivagami's lack of judgement before the vast royal court. That said, Devasena did make a valid point that Sivagami had no right to fix her marriage with Bhallaladeva without her consent. Heck, when Sivagami had dispatched an emissary to Devasena regarding this matter, she didn't even bother to specify which prince Devasena was supposed to marry. Worse, the emissary delivered the message in a presumptuous and condescending manner to Devasena, as if the Mahishmati royal family was doing her a big favour by letting her marry one of its members.

National Anthem: The Mahishmati national anthem is sung by a choir during Bhallaladeva's coronation ceremony. When it was first sung in the first movie, its lyrics (which mention about a prosperous and happy people) were used alongside the ironic, miserable condition of Mahishmati's people under Bhallaladeva's cruelty.

Establishing Character Moment
 Baahubali / int_7febc23b
comment
Establishing Character Moment: Almost every character will have a very badass one of these. Mahendra lifts up an extremely heavy statue over which his adoptive mother has to pour water repeatedly to fulfill a vow, and plants it under a waterfall. Avanthika is being chased through the forest by sinister soldiers, seemingly helpless, then turns around, springs an ambush on them, and kills many of them herself in hand-to-hand combat. Bhallaladeva wrestles a wild bison and wins, then kills it when it breaks free from its keepers and attacks him from behind. Amarendra as a child picks up a scorpion that’s about to attack his adoptive mother and holds it away from her during an important ceremony. The first time we see him as an adult, he is using his sword to deflect arrows being shot at him from every side.

Unusually, the fact that it's a Paper-Thin Disguise for someone who's clearly incredibly competent is the whole point, and it doesn't take long for her to be in on the joke.

She has been a model mother while he's very much a devoted Momma's Boy. Applies to Katappa's relationship with Amarendra as well, since the latter treats him as a Honorary Uncle

Fatal Flaw

comment
Fatal Flaw: Anger, bloodlust, arrogance and jealousy for Ballaladeva. He is a just as intelligent and capable of strategy as his brother Amarendra while being just as strong and skilled in combat, only when he can keep his above flaws in check. When he lets them get the better of him, which is easy while in the heat of battle, things go bad for him. Hubris for Sivagami and Devasena. Sivagami is so used to having her authority unchallenged, that Bhallaladeva doesn't have to do much to trick her into taking bad decisions. Devasena is intelligent, but her insolence towards Sivagami cost her and her family dearly.

Face–Heel Turn: Queen Mother Sivagami starts off as a kindly queen protecting her people and her sons, but evolves into a cruel and capricious woman due to Bhallaladeva's manipulations and her hatred of Amarendra's wife Devasena. She does have a Heel Realization after having Amarendra killed, and sacrifices herself to save his son.

Evil Cripple: Bijjaladeva, Bhallaladeva's father, is a cruel man willing to do anything for the throne because he was passed up for it in his youth due to his arm being deformed. It's implied by Kattapa that the "passed over because of deformity" is Bijjaladeva self-justification, and that in truth he was passed over because of his cruel personality.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It is strongly implied that both of the Baahubali men have the same soul, and may in fact be an incarnation of the Hindu god Shiva. Baahubali Jr. is born right when his father dies, is named Shiva by the village that adopts him, and the film opens with Shivagami openly praying to the god Shiva that her grandson must live, even if she may die. He seemingly obliges, allowing Shivagami to drown while her body props up her grandson. The duology ends with Bhallaladeva's golden statue head crashing down to the site of Amburi village right in front of the Shiva statue, implying that the god may have had a hand in the film's events and arranged Bhallaladeva's downfall.

 Baahubali / int_d2102da0
comment
Bad People Abuse Animals: Bhallaladeva is first seen fighting and killing a bull to show off his strength. Also, in the flashback, Amarendra and Bhallaladeva have to sacrifice a cattle each to the Goddess before battle. Bhallaladeva kills his cattle without any qualms or hesitation. Amarendra, on the other hand, refuses to kill his cattle, acknowledging it as an innocent animal, and instead cuts his hand to give his own blood to the Goddess. This trope is tossed out the window in the next film when Amarenda hunts hogs and also lights bulls' horns on fire.

The Chessmaster
 Baahubali / int_d62dd556
comment
The Chessmaster: Bhallaladeva. He subtly exploits his mother's fatal flaw, and watches her as she gradually turns against Amarendra. After inheriting the throne, Bhallaladeva slowly whittles away Amarendra's royal authority. He kills Devasena's cousin and frames him for attempting regicide, which convinces Sivagami to take action against Amarendra. Amarendra didn't even suspect Bhallaladeva's intentions and died without learning the truth. By the time Sivagami comes to her senses, Bhallaladeva has consolidated his royal power and shoots an arrow in her back, leaving her for dead. Mahendra's fortunate survival was the only thing Bhallaldeva didn't see coming.

Disk-One Final Boss: The Beginning is notable for having two, one for each major storyline. Baahubali Jr's storyline has Kattapa as the final opponent faced before the end of the movie, though the fight doesn't last too long since Kattapa surrenders upon seeing Jr's face. Baahubali Sr's flashback has the Kaalakeya chieftain Inkoshi, who leads the army against the Mahishmati and acts as the main villain during the climax. Both of these villains are subdued, clearing the way for Bhallaladeva to take center stage in The Conclusion.

Undying Loyalty: Kattappa is eternally loyal to the throne of Mahishmati, despite the fact that he's only a slave to them by the oaths of long-dead ancestors. However, he's loyal to the throne, not necessarily the man who sits it, and tries to mitigate Bhallaladeva's cruelties whenever he can and eventually joining Baahubali when it's proven that he's a good man and the rightful heir.
