Baahubali The Epic First Movie Review: A decade after Baahubali revolutionised Indian cinema, SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus has returned to theatres as Baahubali: The Epic, a four-hour re-edited cut combining
Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Released globally on October 31, this special version has taken audiences back to the kingdom of Mahishmati, rekindling nostalgia and awe for Rajamouli’s grand storytelling.
Early reviews from the USA premieres are glowing, with moviegoers describing it as a “must-watch cinematic experience.” The film’s advance bookings saw strong traction, reaffirming that Baahubali’s magic continues to captivate audiences worldwide even after ten years.
‘A Mythological Masterpiece Of Sight And Sound’
Social media has been flooded with reactions from fans who can’t stop raving about the reimagined experience. One enthusiastic viewer wrote, “After watching #BaahubaliTheEpic one specific thing that keeps us rooting for the film is @MM_Keeravani’s endearing work. His humming, vocals, and BGM are such a bliss to experience again. And the Man #Prabhas KING SIZE stature is the peak thing to watch on screen. The peak feminine energy of Anushka is so terrific that we feel her absence in Telugu cinema.”
Overseas audiences are going gaga over The Epic. Letterboxd reviews are just lit! 🔥🔥🔥
