Can ‘Bahubali’ Help ‘Bahubali 2'?

Generally, movies made in sequel formats aren’t so successful in Tollywood. Till now there is no real success formula to take this trend forward in industry. However, such movies made in the form of a series enjoyed patronage from viewers in Tamil and Hindi. This time, SS Rajamouli’s ‘Bahubali’ released few days ago is soon going to have a sequel in the form of ‘Bahubali – The Conclusion’ (that is ‘Bahubali 2’) to release sometime in next year.

Basically, Rajamouli aspired ‘Bahubali’ to be made in single part. Due to plenty of equations coming into calculation, the story has been branched into two parts. A sequel will be normally planned only when the first in series turns out as a tremendous hit and viewers develop a huge emotional attachment with the characters. Unfortunately ‘Bahubali – The Beginning’ is although commercially paying decently, people hardly compassed a connection with lead characters of Prabhas, Tamanna, Rana or Anushka.

At this drawback; a sequel if at all Rajamouli completes on time and releases next year, patrons might find no big acquaintances with lead characters. Loopholes in scripting of first part and shallowness in establishment of characteristic behaviors of pillar artists can serve a deuce for all the hype which ‘Bahubali 2’ builds in next year.
