This film does not talk about our lack of understanding of Indian culture and the exaggerated plots in the film. As a serious national myth and legend, "Baahubali" has a modern female consciousness that keeps pace with the times. Baahubali's female characters shine, with independent personalities, tenacity, wisdom for the big picture, and even supreme power. Princess Devashina is a wonderful female character. She is a woman who does not allow men, and is a skilled archer who can kill the gangsters to pieces. She firmly opposes arranged marriages and pursues true love. After being imprisoned, he endured humiliation and had a strong belief that his son would definitely come back for revenge. This role fully demonstrates the confident and noble character of women. The final battle of the movie, on the one hand, is the life-and-death battle between the second generation Baahubali and Bahara Radwa, and on the other hand, the princess Devashina is detouring around the brazier. The kind who has been imprisoned for 25 years, has been insulted but still resolutely proud. The look is touching. In the film, Empress Dowager Shivagami is even more of a strong woman. It can be said that she is the heroine of two "Baahubali" films. When the two princes were still in their infancy and the minister was ready to rebel, she took over the ruling power and killed the rebels by force. When choosing the heir to the throne, she did not favor her own son Bahara Radwa, but chose Baahubali, the upright, brave and righteous son of the old king, as the heir. And after stepping into the trap of her husband and his biological son step by step, Shiva Gami finally came to his senses, so there was a classic scene where he sacrificed his life to lift the baby of the second Baahubali king out of the water with one hand. This shocking scene immediately aroused the audience's visual aesthetics.
