BAHUBALI: THE BEGINNING !!!

Once upon a time in ancient India, the physically handicapped Bijjaladeva, despite being the elder brother of Bikramadeva, never became the King of Mahishmathi kingdom. Therefore, the jealousy factor existed in Bijjaladeva’s mind. After the death of Bikramadeva; Sivagami took the charge of the Mahishmathi kingdom. Sivagami, despite being the wife of Bijjaladeva had a very neutral or unbiased mentality towards everyone. Bikramadeva’s wife gave birth to Amarendra! ‘Yeh Rajtantra hain!’ ‘Ush singhasan ke liye hee toh janma hain mera beta, Bhallaldeva.’ ‘Mere dono putra ka ish singhasan par samaan adhikaar hain.’ Who was the son of Bijjaladeva?

Amarendra was kind-hearted by nature whereas Bhallaldeva was cruel by nature. Both these brothers were competitors for that throne of Mahishmathi kingdom. A spy got caught! As per the secret information, the King Kalakeya was planning to attack Mahishmathi kingdom with his huge battalion of soldiers. What was the defensive strategy of Mahishmathi kingdom? ‘Trishul!’ ‘Joh bhai ish sena nayak ka badh karega, ussi ko milega Mahishmathi ka singhasan.’ ‘Baalban ko aur baalban karo; isse chalaaki nahi, Rajneeti kahete hain.’ Amarendra was against the ritual of buffalo slaughtering. ‘Devi Maa ki pyaas bujhane ke liye ek nirbal ki bali kyon?’

The war started. Bhallaldeva used several arrows, but, Amarendra used the fiery cloths attached with stones. Bhallaldeva attacked from the northern end while riding on a spinning blade chariot, whereas, Amarendra attacked from the southern end while riding on a black horse. At one point, the soldiers of Mahishmathi kingdom felt as if they were about to lose the war against the huge army of King Kalakeya. Amarendra motivated the soldiers of Mahishmathi kingdom. ‘Rann bhumi mein shatru se bhay bheet ho ke jeebit rahena hain mrityu. Ush mrityu ko maar ne jaa raha hoon main. Meri matribhoomi ko koi neech paapi choon nahi sakta.’

There were bandits in the Singapuram area! There was a secret place for the people of Kunthala Kingdom to hide in the times of danger!  The woman fell into the high-current river with a baby boy in her hand. ‘Mahishmathi singhashan ke liye isse jeena hoga.’ Look at the baby boy on her hand! The woman died but the baby boy was alive. The local villagers saw them. Who adopted Mahendra? Did Sivagami’s finger point at something to give any hint? ‘Ish baar bhi phir se girega.’ ‘Mannat poori ho gayi toh mera beta mere baat sunega!’ Swamiji suggested Sanga to pour a pot of water for how many times on that idol of Lord Shiva?

After seeing the laborious task of his mother, Shiva took the stony idol of Lord Shiva on his shoulder and placed it just below the waterfall. ‘Mere bete ne jo kiya mere liye kiya.’ ‘Shiva joh sochta hain wahi karta hain. Prabhu Shankar!’ What was the mystery of that black mask which flowed downwards with the river current? There was a beauty behind that mask! Was Shiva running after her dream girl? Behind every successful man, there is a woman! ‘Jahan jahan jayegi tu, wahan wahan aayungi main. Khoya hain khoya hain, khoya dil aise.’ Shiva succeeded to reach the top of that hill.

My goodness! She was not a fairy but a true warrior. Shiva fell in love with that tigress. A group of people were supporters of Queen Devasena. Their mission was to free Devasena from the prison. ‘Hamare aankhon se paani nahi, angaarey barashne chahiye.’ Why Katappa never helped those bandits in their mission? ‘Katappa singhasan ke gulaam hain.’ Who came to meet Katappa with the special sword, Sikandar? ‘Hamare raftaar ke aagey nahi teekegi.’ Who won the battle of swords? ‘Aap jaisa veer nahi dekha!’ Who became Katappa’s new friend? ‘Kabhi koi jaroorat pade, toh bhoolna nahi ke duniya mein aap ka ek dost bhi hain.’

Time for underwater painting! ‘Jisse apne sharir se prem ho, woh apni pran ko daaon mein nahi laaga sakta.’ Who scolded Avantika? Welcome to the Mahishmathi kingdom. Who killed the Big Bull? ‘Maango; kya maangte ho. Mrityu se badi mukti aur kya ho sakti hain.’ ‘Bhaag jaaiye.’ Time for tattoos on her right arm! The green snake was utilized smartly in that case. ‘Tum ek ladki aur main ek ladka. Main tumhe pyar karne aaya hoon.’ It always takes some time to tame a tigress, you know! After some moments, Avantika realized her femininity and her heart started loosening up towards Shiva. ‘Panchi bole hain kya, piya sang le chalo.; pyaas badhti rahe, pyar hota rahe.’

’50 gaj unchi swarna pratima!’ Whose statue of 50 feet tall was to be erected on the birthday of Palvalthevan?  See the power of true love! Her mission became his mission too. Beware! That name was a very powerful name indeed which was getting uttered by so many people of Mahishmathi kingdom. There was an invisible bigger statue than that big statue! ‘Aaj uska naam sab se pehle kaun liya tha?’ Fire broke out inside the palace! Who freed Devasena from the prison of Mahishmathi kingdom? The chase and fight was on with the army of Mahishmathi kingdom. In the meantime, the bandits also came to the spot to rescue Devasena. Who was beheaded?

Katappa ran towards him to kill him but why he knelt down in front of him. Did Amarendra and Mahendra have identical faces? ‘Main hoon kaun?’ Amarendra was more intelligent than Bhallaldeva in terms of war strategies. The soldiers of Mahishmathi kingdom won the war against the soldiers of King Kalakeya. Ultimately, which prince killed King Kalakeya? ‘Ek Raja ka dharm sirf shatru ko maarna hee nahi hota, praja ko bachana bhi hota hain.’ Who was declared as the King of Mahishmathi kingdom? ‘Teer ke prahar se bhi jyada ghatak hain biswasghaath.’ ‘Woh neech main hoon.’ Whose murder mystery remained as a mystery in “BAHUBALI: THE BEGINNING”?
