Before RRR took the world by storm, master filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli redefined Indian Cinema with his two-part BAAHUBALI saga. Now, the epic tale of royalty, revenge, kings, and wars has been personally re-edited by the master himself from two films into a single unforgettable cinematic experience, with fully remastered picture and sound (and a few new surprises), so audiences can reunite to experience the euphoria the way it was intended: on the big screen. When a lost prince is rescued and raised in exile, he grows up unaware of his past. Years later, he returns to uncover the truth about his father's murder and his mother's imprisonment, and must rise to reclaim his place as the rightful king.

Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com ‘Baahubali: The Epic' may not deliver a better edit or experience, but it does highlight what was already great, especially once it settles into a groove following a ten-minute intermission break. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times This tenth-anniversary victory lap for the Baahubali story should attract fresh appraisals, and the deadly loyalty of the royal soldier Kattappa (Sathyaraj) lands with only greater force in our politically fraught era. Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Variety The appropriately titled, nearly four-hour “Baahubali: The Epic” condenses footage from both halves of S.S. Rajamouli’s industry-shifting action duology but maintains the filmmaker’s vision and his pulse-pounding visual splendor. Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) A little sad they took out so many songs but the action is so incredible. It is thrilling to see on the big screen Nov 16, 2025 Full Review Justin Rao The Hollywood Reporter India A celebration of Indian storytelling at its most operatic. Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Adam Olinger Adam Does Movies (YouTube) "Baahubali: The Epic" is the result of mixing a Disney musical with The Lord of the Rings. Believe me when I say, that's a great thing! The film is a powerful beast with plenty of spectacle, emotional moments and heart. Indian cinema at its finest! Nov 9, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Samuel H One of the great epic films of the new century. Powerfully moving, over-the-top action. You have to go in with the understanding that Indian cinema, especially in the hands of Telugu auteur S.S. Rajamouli, is so outrageous, so spectacular, you may be overwhelmed by the whole thing. This version is edited down from two movies at 5:30 to one film at 4 hours with an intermission. The edits do make for a slightly confusing plot but stick with it. By the end everything will have made sense. Must see filmmaking. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/25 Full Review Nelly C I really like this movie. Color, music, and story are amazing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/25 Full Review GreatfulDread absolutely amazing. the full versions were cut a bit but the added details were worth the edits! the teaser for the Eternal War in 2027 looks amazing! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/25 Full Review David One in a lifetime movie 🫡 India’s Biggest Superstar “PRABHAS” ⭐️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/25 Full Review DrKarteek Watching in XD was best decision Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/02/25 Full Review Brett B Baahubali part 1&2 are some of my favorite movies ever so I was excited to see how this epic combined them. A lot of the magic is lost with the missing content. A whole love story arc was just glossed over and just felt rushed. Feels like this was the "action recut" edition but without the meat and potatoes of what made the characters really pop. 5/5 for original, 2.5/5 just because it looked great on the big screen and still was baahubali ish at the end of the day. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
