This Is Here In For You

Season 1

Season 2

As the 3rd season is also released, it was in our “to watch and review” list since long. So, let us start with the first episode of the same. It is worth to note that all the episodes of this season are released all together, on 28th April, 2018.

Book Plot:

Let us take a bird’s eye view of the content of the episode. As always, I will try to avoid all the spoilers, but, as you can understand, some of them might be inevitable and thus shall be there in this review. So, please go ahead with that consent.

As Baahubali, Bhallaladeva, Katappa, and Sivagmi were able to overpower the threat of Pradhan Guru with the help of the citizens of Mashishmati; the environment was quite charming there. The citizens are in the mode of celebration! And why not? one needs to enjoy each and every positive moment of the life, without a doubt.

A person, looking very similar to Bhallaladeva in his appearance is traveling far away. And, eventually, we come to know that he is heading towards Mahishmati. He is accompanied by an elderly lady, his mother.

As part of the celebration, there is a competition to show warrior abilities is arranged in Mahishmati. This time, anyone from Mahishmati can challenge both the princes. Usually, the princes are un-challengable. But, this time it is an exception. While Bhallaladeva was not very happy with this decision of the queen, he could hardly do anything, as Sivagami not only ruled the kingdom but the hearts of the citizens.

There comes a point during the competition when a raging bull appeared as a threat to the audience gathered, including the royales. At the right time, a marked person intervened and with his might, he was able to control the threat which even Baahubali and Bhallaladeva together couldn’t!

So, who is this stranger? Why he came to Mahishmati?

Views and Reviews:

Baahubali, the word became a synonym for grand and splendid fictional tale. So, whenever a viewer is looking at anything related to it, he/she is looking for a visual splendor. We’ve found both the previous season lack the same visual splendor at the majority of places and we’ve shared this feeling in our reviews as well. Of course, we need to understand the canvas and the budget of the animation series, and the content it has to provide is very different from that of the movies in the series. The makers needed to put more efforts in the way the characters behave and walk, to make it look more convincing.

The content of the series seems to be interesting. Of course, I’ve watched the entire series, but let us not discuss anything out of the context (i.e. not belong to this episode). Bringing a person looking very similar (but aged) to Bhallaladeva in his physical appearance, and much more powerful than Baahubali and Bhallaladeva put together, is very interesting. I’ve enjoyed this approach and I think most of the viewers will welcome it too.

For any media, the script has to be the most interesting attribute. And, we can give distinction marks to the makers here. Not only, the concept and the way the script is written is interesting, but also the dialogs are good too. Rather than building a vocabulary which is heavy, the writers have decided to go with the day-to-day words and phrases. And, it works positively for the episode.

Some of the sets are nicely designed and some of the characters’ appearances are updated a little, making them look more mature. You will love exploring the combat-competition and the facial expression of Bijjaladeva during the same. “The uncontrolled bull” scene is worth watching as well. The episode makes you watch the next episode eagerly to know more about the stranger, and that is the success for the makers :).

The background music plays a crucial part in any visual media. And, it is even more important when there are animated characters explored on the screen. The background music of this episode is worth a special mention. It sets the mood for the respective scene(s) quite well.

The real heroes of this episode are the voice-over artists who made the animated characters alive on the screen. Their job is more challenging than the regular actors, who need to voice their own acting. Here, the voice over artists needed to act through their voices. And, they did a remarkable job. Just naming one or two from them will be unjust for the rest of them.

Summary:

Overall, a nice episode. If you loved watching Baahubali movies and/or previous seasons of “Baahubali: The Lost Legends”, you will surely enjoy it.
