Baahubali: The Lost Legends,

Baahubali: Crown of Blood The film highlights the events that took place before, in which Baahubali and Bhallaladeva come together to fight an enemy and, in the process, discover dark secrets. The Hindi series unfolds in nine episodes, with the first being approximately 30 minutes long and the rest being 19 to 22 minutes long. The Hindi version benefits from the voices of actors who also lent their voices to the characters in the films – Sharad Kelkar for Bahubali, Samay Thakkar for Kattappa, Mausam for Sivagami and Manoj Pandey for Bhalladev. The series has also been dubbed into Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Tamil; If the makers had chosen Prabhas and Rana Daggubati to lend their voices for Baahubali and Bhallaladeva, the Telugu version (two episodes of which were screened for the media in Hyderabad) would have greatly benefited, so that the audience could have maximum interaction with the characters. Stay connected. ,

The animated characters closely resemble the actors playing the popular characters – Prabhas as Baahubali (although the animated character also resembles Mahendra Singh Dhoni in several frames), Rana Daggubati as Bhallaladeva, Ramya as Sivagami Sathyaraj as Krishna, Kattappa and Nassar as Bijjaladeva. This helps in attracting attention to an extent, however the quality of the animation falls short.

We are introduced to a chapter during which the Mahishmati kingdom is challenged by a powerful character named Raktadev. As a prelude, in the early episodes, we learn of a ploy to create a rift between Mahishmati and Garuda Rajyam and smell something fishy coming from Baahubali.

Throughout the story, we are also taken back in time to Amarendra Baahubali and Bhalla’s childhood to shed light on the events that shaped them into the people they grew up to be – Amarendra Baahubali as a warrior. I who sympathized with the suffering. People and Bhalla are shown as cold-hearted warriors motivated by power and authority. The episodes are full of examples of how Baahubali becomes a savior to people young and old in distress and this aligns with the portion of the second film in which Baahubali and Devasena are seen living among the people, sharing their smiles and sorrows. Shown as sharing. Are becoming leaders of the people.

Most of the appearances and character traits of the main players are consistent with the film. While this helps stay true to the spirit of the film, it also reduces the room for surprises. When a turn of events forces Kattappa into exile and joins hands with an enemy, it is easy to guess what is going to happen in the future. Predictability and lack of innovation in the writing is the biggest ruin of the series, making it boring. However, one revelation related to Bijjaaldev’s past is very impressive.

In addition to character characteristics, the series also remains consistent Baahubali There is a fascination with war machines and weapons in films, but these are not as interesting as what we have seen in the movies.

In some scenes, Amarendra Baahubali is seen lifting heavy weights, literally, forcing us to draw comparisons with his son Mahendra Baahubali, who lifts the Shivalinga in the first. Baahubali film. While his character and Bhalla get some scope to introspect about how he should be as a prince and the future king of Mahishmati and we get to realize his inner turmoil, Bijjaladeva’s character remains completely on a one note Has happened. Sivagami fares slightly better.

The series attempts to capitalize on the popularity of superhero characters, but both the animation and writing need more cleverness to emerge from the shadows of the films.
