BlueBee Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Bajirao Mastani brilliant stuff. What intensity, dialogues and performances. After a long time, I seriously enjoyed a Hindi film. Better than Bahubali.Watched it yesterday. It was brilliant and the scenes were really mind blowing and as expected from SLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandeep Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 In contemporary Indian milieu, folklore is treated as history and vice versa. The two aren't as detached as one may perceive. Bhansali is just trying to cash in on popular perceptions.Akbar may have been a fat pudgy emperor for all we know. But by having Hrithik play Akbar, it is the past was glorious/beautiful chord that was struck.The more I read different perspectives on Indian history, the more mirage like it seems. Most writers of an era always glorified the existing monarch. Factual description was never our forte.Pretty looking movie stars playing historical figures is not as much an issue, and glamorizing or mythologizing is ok too, it just needs to be packaged a bit better otherwise it ends up looking ridiculous. Not much difference between that bahubali fellow lifting up a multi-ton stone idol one handed vs Mithun slicing a speeding bullet into 2 with a knife and killing 2 goondas. You can glorify without going OTT, but desi movies don't often go that route. Conventional wisdom apparently says that is more "box office" sense to have Singham grab a goonda out of a cartwheeling SUV without suffering a scratch. And so it goes...

coffee_rules Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I have seen bahubali,I think what rkt wrote is the actual reason why katapa killed him ,it'll kill the suspense for many here hence I told him to use the spoilerNo, the movie doesn't reveal why katappa killed BB. What rkt wrote might make sense, but still not what the movie has revealed (yet!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so it goes... arey yaar Bahubali is a period fantasy. It is not a historical fiction and he could lift that idol because he was blessed with power that is why he was named Bahubali which means someone who has strong arms.
