Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017)Directed by S S Rajamouli [×× NO SPOILERS!! ××] I finally watched "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion" yesterday morning, at Ramakrishna 70mm at Abids (I wore my Kattappa artwork t-shirt while watching the movie – you can see @karthikabhiram for that post). The movie picks up from where the first one left off, and nicely wraps up all the storylines established there.I loved the acting, the music, the cinematography and the overall visuals. Like the first movie, this one contains some stunning imagery, and moments of great beauty (this sketch depicts one of those wow moments). It's epic and the action scenes are very stylised. I really liked the storytelling and the emotional impact they created. I thought this movie topped the first in practically every aspect.I do have some criticisms about it, the visual effects while of a high standard, are not up to par sometimes, which is kind of distracting. It's much better than the first part though. Also, when the action sequences are so stylised, you have to suspend disbelief quite a bit when characters are doing impossible stunts. They seemed to have rushed the conclusion in the third act strangely. A few minutes more would have helped there.Despite those, I really loved the movie, and I enjoyed it more than the first one. No one can fault the filmmakers for aiming really high. I'd say they pulled off most of what they wanted to achieve. Maybe if I watch it a second time I might focus more on the flaws and rate it a bit lower, but I enjoyed it so much on the first viewing that I'm rating it a 10/10.This is a sketch of Anushka Shetty (@anushkashettyofficial) as Devasena from the movie. She is a prominent character here and I loved the way the character was written and acted. I drew this in pencil (the red part was with a ballpoint pen), and scanned it. I'm also tagging @baahubalimovie here, hope you like the sketch!#252 / 1-May-17
