After inspiring his soldiers Baahubali moves to attack the Kalakeyas. When he approaches a crisscross wall, to destroy it he uses a boulder which is fired earlier during the start of the battle. At this point first the view is from the top where we do not see any boulder but in the next shot we see him clinging the hook and the boulder.

User Reviews

Just don't miss this one

Great cinematography with concept and story in it . Nice directorial work by S. S. Rajamouli and the budget reflects in a heavy content of the film . I thoroughly enjoyed the paid preview . Its a first real tribute from film industry to the greatest epics of all time "The Mahabharata" .

Luring action sequence and VFX and one of the nicest delivered again from south .

Making bollywood look bad again in India , its absolutely not catching up with the southern films .

I am a north Indian and not a great fan of south but they really making bollywood run for its money spree .

First I then Kanchana 2 and now the mighty Bahubali .
