It was exactly a year ago that SS Rajamouli unveiled his magnum opus Baahubali on big screen. And we all know the history it had created in its wake. Director SS Rajamouli not only became face of Telugu cinema but also turned into a brand nationally making his Baahubali 2 the most awaited film across the country. In fact we can say across the globe as well.

This brief take is however not to heap laurels, richly deserved they are, again on the master but to go back to the pre Baahubali days and look at the director’s filmography and then put Baahubali besides them in terms of emotional fulfillment. We would realize that the director has had so many films that literally gave us goosebumps with the emotional depth he brought out. This is the area in which Baahubali had failed and something which was felt and expressed only locally by Telugu audience. Sure, the film had mindboggling collections and Rajamouli made everyone proud but lack of this emotional peak made many fans feel disappointed. They wanted something more.
In a year from now Baahubali 2 will be before us and this time we hope the world truly gets a glimpse of this powerful emotional appeal that a Rajamouli movie possesses. Irrespective of the content people will surely turn up so collections is not the issue here, Baahubali is an event that shouldn’t be missed at any cost, it is all about fulfilling the expectations both at the home and away this time. Here’s hoping SS Rajamouli hits it out of the park with all his trademarks in place this time.
