Has it really been two years since the Baahubali blitzkrieg descended and redefined how fantasy films will be made for Indians?
In 2015, the world of Mahishmati opened to unbelievable frenzy in theatres across the country and set impossible records for all future epic dramas.
So it was obvious that the sequel, which audiences have waited for, for two years now, would shatter predictions — and then some.
Every still and trailer was dissected in detail by fans and critics, to find hints to the puzzle leading up to the climax of Baahubali: why did royal slave Katappa kill Baahubali?
Two years since its worldwide release, Baahubali is best described as the Rajinikanth of all blockbusters made in India. So, the expectations are unreasonable, sky-high and the hype around Baahubali: The Conclusion beyond human imagination.
So no hint of a spoiler was spared — and fans on Twitter don't know how to deal with the emotional, warrior saga that Baahubali: The Conclusion turned out to be.
Was it worth the exaggeration? The memes, and even the 4am screenings? Fans just can't handle it
#Bahubali2 is a cinematic experience, very difficult to forget. Royal Salutes to @ssrajamouli Garu for taking Indian Cinema to global levels

As I predicted & wished at audio launch, #Bahubali2 might become the first Indian film to achieve Rs.1,000 crore at box office worldwide????????

Don't know why Bahubali was killed in part 1 but as per reports, Bahubali is killing the box office in part 2#Bahubali2

The reason @ssrajamouli makes the best masala movies is that he doesn't condescend to the genre. He treats it with respect, integrity.

Such is the wait for the blockbuster that the audience doesn't care which reel of Baahubali they are watching!
Last night premiere show at PVR Arena Mall #Bengaluru, they played the 2nd half of #Baahubali2 first. Audience realised during climax only

#Baahubali, first day first show in Delhi. Never seen a multiplex so packed in this city for any Indian film, irrespective of language.

And the climax? Hint: War is not the end of Baahubali.
#Baahubali2 2nd half - @ssrajamouli can elevate even a newborn baby. Phew, goosebumps! The final 20 odd mins is the revenge battle sequence
