My last movie review of Baahubali was about the VFX<\/a> in the movie.\u00a0 It\u2019s time for a review again and this time it\u2019s about the concluding part of this movie.<\/p>\n

No, this review is not going to be about the story; because, the story itself is wafer thin and can be summarised in a few sentences. At times, while watching it, you couldn\u2019t help but wonder if it needed 2, almost 3 hour long movies to tell such a simple story. And this is probably the reason why many reviewers have rated the movie as an average one.<\/p>\n

This is going to be about the various other aspects that I noticed about the movie. Some very good and some not so good.<\/p>\n

Before I begin, I\u2019d recommend you to see the movie in large screen cinema, because it is made to be seen on one and is definitely worth one see at least.<\/p>\n

The broadly good \u2013 VFX<\/span>:<\/p>\n

The movie starts off on a right note, the story of the first part is summarised rather well in the title slates and it made me look forward to the VFX work to follow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But almost from the first shot, you tend to notice the CG and green screen work. In any given frame, you can make out which part was CG just by looking at the contrast \u2013 the high tones of the backgrounds \u2013 the mountains, the palaces \u2013 and many a times the colouring in the foreground \u2013 flowers, foliage, boats et al. \u2013\u00a0 stand out and tell you that there is something unnatural in a frame. Like last time, where ever CG was used to extend backgrounds, they were rather very well done, it\u2019s those long shots that were rather comic-bookish.<\/p>\n
