Although he isn't as well known to Hindi film fans as that other famously shirtless star Salman Khan, Prabhas has a presence grand enough to transcend language.

At each turn, the money's right there on screen, yet what's most striking is how these resources have been marshalled - to enhance, rather than clutter up, the narrative throughline.

Rated: 4/5

[It] proves Indian cinema can, in fact, be just as imaginative and expansive as its Western counterpart.

You will not find many films more entertaining than this one, as you will be impressed, laugh, and spend 158 minutes without even realizing it.

Baahubali: The Beginning is not just the dawn of a new cinematic era—it is a historic revolution in storytelling and visual artistry. S. S. Rajamouli’s grand vision transforms myth and imagination into a breathtaking reality that redefined the boundaries of Indian filmmaking. Every frame gleams with grandeur, every battle sings with emotion, and every moment feels immortal. At the center of this magnificent creation stands Prabhas—the very embodiment of power, grace, and nobility. His portrayal of Amarendra Baahubali is more than acting; it is a performance carved into cinematic eternity. With unmatched screen presence, towering strength, and silent compassion, Prabhas brought to life a hero who transcends generations. He didn’t just play Baahubali—he became Baahubali, the face of Indian heroism for the world to see. The film’s masterful direction, stirring music, and unparalleled visual scale make it one of the most extraordinary experiences ever to grace the big screen. Baahubali: The Beginning united audiences across languages and cultures, setting a benchmark that redefined what Indian cinema could achieve. A cinematic triumph that will echo through time. An immortal masterpiece led by the unmatched brilliance of India’s biggest superstar, Prabhas. Undoubtedly, five shining stars.
