Baahubali review | The film is high on sound and spectacle, low on script

Baahubali ends up being all sound and spectacle – but little else. Despite its epic dimensions – with a tendency to copy larger-than-life Hollywood heroic tales like Ben-Hur and Troy – the film fails at some level to draw us into the narrative. If Rajamouli thought his special effects team that drummed up outstanding imagery – lovely waterfalls, magnificent snow-covered mountains and an awesome terrain of the kingdom – would somehow cover up the weaknesses of the film, he was wrong. Greater detailing and accuracy could have helped.
