Been a while since I posted a movie review on the site, and also watched a movie in the renovated IMAX theatre in our neighbourhood. What better movie to watch on the large IMAX screen than a release of the combined Baahubali movie.
Despite clocking in at nearly 4 hours (which makes it just as long as Lagaan), the film remains as fast paced and thrilling as it was originally. In fact the major cuts are to the songs and some of the filler scenes which actually go by faster.
We watched the Telugu version which had English subtitles, not that you need language to appreciate the movie. The theatre was pretty much filled with fans of the series given the scream and whistle reactions upon the entry of the stars and the key scenes. That’s something you miss while watching at home for sure.
The action scenes were just as spectacular, and getting to watch Dhivara on the big screen once more was worth it. So, do catch it in the theatres if you get the chance, and the film is edited assuming that you have watched the original parts given WKKB scene being part of the opening sequence itself.
