The first half goes back and forth between the characters, while we get a sense of what's actually happening in the film. But when Baahubali 2 hits the saturation point- the interval block, Rajamouli's writing evokes certain emotions that are ineffable. It goes without saying that the interval portion is the major highlight of the film. What's amusing about Baahubali is the hardcore story that takes inspiration from Mahabharata and Ramayana. There's a nod to MGR's Adimai Penn (1969), especially when Mahendra uses Devasena's shackles as a weapon. Madhan Karky's dialogues for the Tamil version are poignant, sometimes hard-hitting.

Subbaraju plays an extended cameo, whose role is mostly funny. But he suddenly becomes a warrior after Baahubali's rousing speech.

Katappa is one of the fascinating characters ever written in Indian cinema. Just look out for the scene between Katappa and Baahubali where the latter says, "As long as you are by my side, a man who can kill me hasn't been born, uncle." While we saw the 'serious' Katappa in part 1, the second instalment has the candid side of Sathyaraj, who's known for his witty one-liners. Why Katappa killed Baahubali was a well-written hook that left the audience madly waiting for the conclusion. However, it's the least of the major revelations. Although the million-dollar-question is fairly effective and far from flawed. For every subtle nuance you may have noticed in Baahubali: The Beginning, Rajamouli doesn't throw answers to the unanswered questions. It takes guts to play a deglamorized role in a film like Baahubali. But, he strongly denied that and following it, The Central Crime Station police arrested 2 persons for posting objectionable pictures and derogatory messages about the YSRCP leader and the actor on internet.Had you thought Sivagami is the most powerful woman, you're probably wrong. Sharmila, the sister of YSR Congress chief Jagan Mohan Reddy.
