Plot: What Bāhubali 2: The Conclusion Is About
The throne of Mahishmati sits at the centre of Bāhubali 2: The Conclusion, the second and final chapter of S. S. Rajamouli’s royal saga. Prabhas plays a dual role. In the present he is Mahendra, also called Sivudu, a young man who has discovered that he comes from a royal bloodline. In the past he is Amarendra Bāhubali, a figure whose story still shapes the kingdom.
The film moves back and forth between these two timelines. As Mahendra tries to make sense of where he comes from, the narrative returns to earlier events in Mahishmati. These involve the ambitious Bhallaladeva (Rana Daggubati), the formidable queen mother Sivagami (Ramya Krishnan), the loyal warrior Kattappa (Sathyaraj), Bhallaladeva’s father Bijjaladeva (Nassar) and Devasena (Anushka Shetty). The neighbouring Kunthala Kingdom also plays a part.
The result is an epic built on loyalty, power and inheritance. Each timeline sheds light on the other, and the story is framed by large-scale action and fantasy spectacle.
What Makes It Notable: Cast, Director and Context
- Director and writer: S. S. Rajamouli wrote and directed the film, completing the story he began in the first Bāhubali film.
