In recent years, Indian films have become more and more well-known to Chinese audiences, "Wrestling! "Dad", "Mysterious Superstar", "Little Lolita and Uncle Monkey God", "Starting Line", etc., have all achieved good box office results.

However, for Chinese audiences, most of the films that can be seen in theaters are Indian education-themed films, or involve religious and social issues.

"Baahubali 2: The End" is a rare Indian epic. Definitely an Indian movie.

No. 1 in Indian film history, No. 1 Indian film in North American film history, 8.4 on IMDB and 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. It can be said that it is a legendary work.

And the previous work of this series, "Baahubali: Beginning", also won the first place in the box office of local Indian films with a box office of more than 5 billion rupees.

In particular, it should be emphasized that "Baahubali 2: The End" will log on to Chinese theaters on May 4. This is also the first domestic IMAX version of an Indian film.

Based on the Indian epic Mahabharata, this epic Indian blockbuster tells the story of the brave and kind King Baahubali and his son Shiva, who fight against the evil brother Baladiva and fight for the kingdom of Moses Shimadhi. A story of control.

The whole film is full of Indian landscapes and Indian characteristics, with grand scenes and profound connotations.

Many viewers refer to "Baahubali 2" as the Indian version of a superhero movie. "Gorgeous" and "burning" almost restore the "Mahabharata" to the truth.

The pictures are beautiful, the music is moving, and the elements of revenge are even more dramatic under the exotic packaging. And there is an overwhelming force.

The film was directed by well-known Indian director S.S. Rajamuri. It took five years and cost 2.5 billion rupees.

During the filming of the film, the crew used 1,000 manpower every day for 200 days on a 200-acre vacant land to build a majestic palace in real scenes, making it the most expensive film in Indian film history so far.

"Baahubali 2" also has special effects shots that are not often seen in Indian movies. The production cost of 2.5 billion rupees is fully reflected in the picture. Not only full of imagination, but also magnificent, and even put the elements of singing and dancing that he is good at in the blue sky and white clouds.

The cultural heritage in the film is also a highlight. In this divine hero and nation, India's splendid culture and group portraits are represented. For example, King Baahubali stood on the back of an elephant to fight, and the people's devotion to religion.

It is also a good choice to start from this film to understand the religion and history of India.

In the film, the love story of King Baahubali and his wife Devashina also occupies a lot of space. This is not the love between a prince and a weak princess, who is brave, strong, neither humble nor arrogant, fighting side by side with the Baahubali. Even boldly said: women have the right to choose their own men.

It is worth mentioning that Baahubali 2 is not the Bollywood movie we are familiar with. As a representative of South Indian Tollywood cinema, it focuses more on exotic legends, as well as audiovisual effects.

Every song and dance is beautiful, so that the audience who has seen the visual wonders can also be full of surprises.

I believe this work that represents the highest level of Indian film industry will not disappoint you.
