Bahubali The Conclusion: Magic of Cinema

So the most discussed question before this movie was WKKB (Why Kattapa Killed Bahubali)?

Being a fiction movie, directors can show anything even though it's unrealistic through the known Physics. Especially, when the movie is a south Indian movie, people have accepted the fact about flying cars, flying people, front kick and back kick without touching the ground by the hero, villain bouncing off the ground after a slap on the face. Bahubali two part series was the most expensive movie produced by India and had a longest running pre-production of around 2 years. However, let's talk about the second part, Bahubali: the conclusion but before that some more background.

I work in a company which also falls in the list of Top 100 Great Places To Work. It does most of the things to make their employees happy. In 2017, one of the things they did was to take the entire Mumbai office (~2.5K employees) to watch a movie. Among multiple options, the majority opted for Bahubali The Conclusion.

Now, I had seen this movie just a day before this major organisation event and as a movie buff, I didn’t mind watching it again as I knew it was going to be some experience. People were distributed by their teams/functions, etc. The screen I was in was a full house and since people were from the same team, they took liberty to make a multiplex a 90’s single screen. Many groups started to make comments about the dialogues, stunts, unrealistic visuals, some admired the beauty of Devsena especially in her entry scene and this continued for most part of the film. People couldn’t believe what they were seeing during climax.

However, I clearly remember that one scene before the interval where Bhallaldev is made king. The moment that scene started, I realised that the noise in the theatre had slowly disappeared. There was no comment, no whistle, no chit chats, no sound of people eating popcorn. I think the entire theatre was just looking at the screen with full attention and no distraction. In my opinion everything was picture perfect. I think that's the impact of a great sequence, I think editing plays an important part here.I just watched that film again on Netflix just to check the duration of the scene and it was around 6 min 30 sec, and for that duration I think people experienced what I call the magic of cinema.
