So is the fact that both Sivagami and Baahubali's devoted wife Devasena ( Anushka Shetty) have more than a token amount of influence and power throughout the film. The film's refusal to judge character solely based on how they respond to mitigating circumstances is refreshing. But they also sometimes suggest that good people can make big mistakes. These momentary weaknesses sometimes indicate character flaws, as in Bhalla's case. It's refreshing to see these characters, who are often seemingly painted as paragons of virtue and vice, have their wills tested by various trials-and sometimes fail. And it's eventually also true of both Baahubali's mother Sivagami ( Ramya Krishnan) and uncle/adviser Kattappa (Sathyaraj). This is true of Bhalla, an innocent character whose natural jealousy is manipulated into hating his cousin by his petty father Bijjaladeva (Nassar). But as the movie goes on, it becomes clear that, despite good intentions (writ large through Frank Capra-worthy speeches) even the best people can be manipulated into committing crimes against each other. That's only because right initially seems to make might in this universe.
Sure, Amarendra possesses superhuman strength, agility, and filial piety (like many men in Indian movies, he worships his mom).
One sure sign of quality: despite some seriously ostentatious moralizing, "Baahubali 2" is inspired enough to make you care about characters who are as morally upstanding as Biblical figures and as relatable as refugees from a children's fairy tale. It's loud, it's gory, and there are musical numbers. Here's a splashy, big-budget film with an infectious sense of momentum that wins you over any time key plot points are glossed over for the sake of establishing the next big confrontation. Better still: the action choreography is exciting, the operatic plot is compelling, and a genuine sense of optimism undercuts the geysers of blood and thunderous sound effects that accompany the film's stirring set pieces. Thanks to blessedly short flashbacks and fittingly bombastic expository dialogue, viewers of "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion" don't need to have seen the previous film to know what's at stake.
