Baahubali 2 Compared To Ben Hur

Movie lovers across the world irrespective of any language are well aware of American epic historical drama Ben Hur which created a sensation in 1959. The film won a record 11 Oscar awards and even now the war scenes are talked in awe. 

Tollywood Jakkana Rajamouli's dream project Baahubali is now compared to this Hollywood classic. It is known that Baahubali The Conclusion created a record by becoming the most searched on Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo and Google in 2017. 

The film won many awards and rewards. According to the latest renowned international website Rotten Tomatoes heaped praises on Baahubali The Conclusion. The film was ranked second in the top ten best films across the world in 2017 and scored 100 percent on Tomatometer. It also got  87% audience score which is a testimony that many audiences gave it 3.5 rating. 

The website heaped praises comparing Baahubali The Conclusion with Ben Hur and Kung Fu Hussle. The website posted, “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion plays like a shotgun wedding between Ben Hur and Kung Fu Hustle, seasoned with bits of Shakespeare, Kurosawa and Buster Keaton. In other words, it’s a blockbuster that’s both gigantic and lighter than air. The story of The Beginning was as simple as a fairy tale and as resonant as a myth, but with The Conclusion, director S.S. Rajamouli has cranked everything to 11; rarely have action sequences this gravity- (and logic-) defying been captured on film. What separates this epic (which was a massive hit in India and within the South Asian diaspora) from its American brethren is its sincerity and optimism: its righteous titular hero (played by Prabhas) and his band of honorable men and women clash with scheming, corrupt bad guys, and it feels alternately old-fashioned and refreshingly bold. It’s the kind of film that reminds us why we love going to the movies.”
