Lord Shiva!
If only death can give me redemption,
then take my life.
But...
this boy must live.
He must live for his mother who awaits his return.
He must live to ascend the throne of Mahishmati.
Mahendra Baahubali must live!
Sacrifices!
And martyrs!
Is what this story
Has been weaved from
For ages
It's been raging
The flames of
Retribution!
Is death the bearer of that great soul
One that the universe describes?
Did our benefactor descend from the skies
One whose feet the earth kisses?
Is destiny
Capable of
Creating that
Compassionate one?
The blood that boils
And gushes through the veins
Is Shivam
The war with the Kalakeyas was over.
In that war, Baahubali and Bhallaladeva
proved to be warriors of equal caliber and bravery.
But Baahubali's quick-thinking saved many lives
and tipped the scales in his favor.
Queen Mother soon declared him as the king.
The entire kingdom started celebrating.
They eagerly awaited his coronation.
Soon, the devil immolation festival was upon them.
It was commemorated only once in 26 years.
To ensure prosperity, it was customary
for the daughter-in-law of the royal family to walk barefoot
to Lord Shiva's temple, situated deep in the jungle
thirty miles from the royal fort.
She must carry an urn of burning coal upon her head
and destroy the demon's effigy
and she must not break her stride or stop even once.
Long live Queen Mother Sivagami Devi!
Attack!
Mother...
-Kattappa. -Mother.
Escort everyone to a safe place.
But I can't abandon you.
It's an order, Kattappa.
Your wish is my command.
Soldiers, rush the people to somewhere safe.
As you wish, sire!
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
Protector of the seas and land
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
Protector of the seas and land
Baahubali!
She didn't stop, she didn't falter.
Your glory spreads far and wide
Long live Baahubali!
Your glory spreads far and wide
Long live Baahubali!
You're dearer to us than our lives
Everyone will sing and sing again
Your song of praise
He's like
An immovable mountain
He's like
An immovable mountain
He's like
An immovable mountain
He's like
An immovable mountain
Affection so deep and strong
Their love will last long
When one breathes
The other feels alive
Bound by the thread of love
He strides like the storm
Or like the raging fire
The earth quivers, when he takes stride
Such is Baahubali's might
Death is his fond desire
For he always plays with fire
Just a wish from his mother
he'll lay down his life for her
He's like
An immovable mountain
He's like
An immovable mountain
He's like
Like a bright shining star
An immovable mountain
He's like
An immovable mountain
He's like
An immovable mountain
He's like
An immovable mountain
Your glory spreads far and wide
Long live Baahubali!
You're dearer to us than our lives
Your glory spreads far and wide
Long live Baahubali!
You're dearer to us than our lives
Everyone's going to sing and sing again
Your song of praise
Baahubali! Baahubali!
Baahubali!
Queen Mother Sivagami!
Baahubali!
Queen Mother Sivagami!
Queen Mother!
Sivagami!
Bhalla.
Did you ever feel...
you should kill your mother?
I did.
Instead of nursing you...
when you were a newborn, she nursed Baahubali.
That was the first time
I wanted to kill her.
She shared your jewelry, glory,
your rights, everything with him.
That's when I felt like killing her.
Now...
She wants to give him the throne...
and I have this itch to strangle her.
Bhalla?
Shall we kill her?
Father, you are talking in a drunken stupor.
Ah, here comes your mother's lapdog.
Hey! Bloody dog!
-My Lord? -What's your latest bark?
Her Majesty has decided to crown Baahubali on forthcoming Vijaydashmi.
Queen Mother wanted you to hear this news first.
History repeats itself!
The throne meant for me, but it was given to my younger brother!
Now it belongs to my son
but it's being bequeathed to my brother's son!
Should my son, grandson, great-grandson
just be slaves and nothing else?
Answer me, you dog!
Why was I not crowned?
Was it because I am a cripple?
So what if this hand is crippled?
I still have my iron fist to rule our kingdom.
You were denied the throne not because you had a crippled hand.
It was because of your crippled brain.
Command me, My Lord.
You dog! Are you not aware that your arrogant tongue
can be sliced into two for your insolence against a royal?
Forgive me, My Lord.
You were planning to kill your beloved wife.
You can't be anything, but a crippled brain.
-Did you overhear the conversation? -No, My Lord.
Since I am a "dog"...
I sniffed your intentions.
She is the princess of Pataliputra, Varuni.
They say no one's as beautiful as her in the entire country.
But her eyes look lifeless.
She is not the right choice for Baahubali.
-Look for another bride. -Sure, Your Majesty.
Please keep this in mind, astrologer.
She will not only be Baahubali's wife
but also the queen of this kingdom.
There should be no reason to point a finger at her.
Mother, did you send for me?
Baahu, you must go on a tour of our kingdom.
As you wish, mother.
Queen Mother, with the coronation just around the corner,
going on a tour is not a good idea.
Remember, we take out idols from our temples
and then the procession goes throughout the kingdom.
We want gods to know if the subjects are happy or not.
Baahu, once the future king steps outside the palace walls
only then can he understand if his people are happy.
-Yes, mother. -Let Kattappa accompany you.
As you wish.
Mother, why take this old man along?
He will again bore me with the same old stories.
Bear with him for one last time.
By the time you return,
I will find you a princess to narrate enchanting fairy tales!
-He is the thief. -No, sire.
He has committed the theft. Punish him.
For an old man, you're quite flamboyant.
You seem surprised about this.
In those days, I just have to lift a sword or a stick
and women in our palace wouldn't take their eyes off me.
You are such a bragger, uncle.
Bandits.
They don't just stop at plunder.
What they really love to do is water burial.
I brought these wild elephants especially for you to play with.
On the banks of the River Pranahita,
I am building the Spring Palace for you.
Do you like it, Bhalla?
A string bow that can hit a long distance target.
Mother?
After giving the throne to my younger brother
you want me to make do with these gifts?
Your son is not so petty to lament about not being crowned.
Queen Mother Sivagami Devi's decision will be obeyed.
Do not offer these gifts to degrade it.
How are you doing?
-Have some sweet, uncle. -Thank you, dear.
Come on.
You...
Good lord!
He likes to show off, doesn't he?
Bandits!
These are soldiers in disguise to nab them.
We do not have to strain ourselves.
Just watch her wave the sword! As quick as lightning.
I wonder who she...
By the way,
our hero seems to be missing in action.
-Oh! -Hey!
-My Lord. -Two of you should go there.
-The other two, go there. -Yes, My Lord.
I want ten people right here.
Baahu!
Baahu, throw me the weapon.
Baahu?
What nonsense! You are distracted, Baahu.
You chopped off a tree?
My dear, I had a very narrow escape.
I might have died, you know!
I feel like I can do anything for her.
Anything? You mean like killing someone?
Does that include me?
Wretched fellow! I took such good care of you when you were a child.
You must do much more to unite us, uncle.
-Madhav. -Your Highness.
Find their hideout.
-We must get the stolen goods back. -Yes, Your Highness.
-Tie them up. All of them! -Move it.
I won't spare anyone.
Tie all of them properly.
Long live, Your Highness!
-You were a godsend. -Thank you.
You saved us at the right time.
-May you always be blessed. -You saved us.
You two seem fit as a fiddle.
Are you not ashamed to hide behind women?
Forgive me, Your Highness.
My nephew is a bit of a numbskull.
He can't do anything right.
-So his family abandoned him. -What?
-Did they really throw him out? -Yes, Your Highness.
You are so kind.
If you can teach him something,
we will be grateful to you until our last breath.
So be it.
He looks tough and sturdy.
If you train him in sword fighting, he can at least become a guard.
I will teach him that.
Grateful, sire.
Truly grateful, Your Highness.
Hey! Look over there.
Kuntala
Full moon is fast approaching.
We must start preparations for worshipping Lord Krishna.
My Queen, that festival is meant for women.
I'll let you decide everything.
Princess.
In our entire kingdom, no one can beat you in archery.
Yet, you are not satisfied.
Not really, Prime minister.
You cannot string two arrows from one bow, Your Highness.
Prime Minister, anything is possible for my sister.
Try again, Devasena.
Move aside.
Instead of getting your young sister married,
you let her do combat training like boys!
Absolutely right, Your Majesty.
Will you choose from the proposals in hand?
Or should I get you married to my brother Kumara Varma?
You fool, come along, I will show you our weapons.
This is a mace.
You won't be able to lift it.
This is a spear.
You won't be able to throw it.
This is a sword.
I will teach you how to wield it.
Tell me, what can you do?
I can play games, My Lord.
Outdoor games like stick and stone, hide-and-seek.
Tip-cat. And...
What about hopscotch?
I've watched from far.
But the girls don't let me play with them.
I will teach you how to wield a sword.
Watch and learn.
-Hold it like this. -Sure.
-Lift it high. -Oh!
-Then one swift blow. -Wow.
Why don't you try?
Look how he's holding the sword.
You won't be able to do it, nephew.
Idiot! Let me show you once more.
Hold it like this.
Lift it above your head.
Like this.
Strike!
What a stunning blow, My Lord!
-Did I do that? -Of course.
Who else, My Lord?
I did it.
Struck like a thunderbolt.
Fantastic!
As mighty as an elephant. You roar like a lion.
As agile as a cheetah. A warrior with an eagle eye.
I can see the entire jungle in you, My Lord.
My Lord?
-I like you. -Thank you.
I will teach you how to wield the sword.
Why this drama for a princess of such a small kingdom?
Reveal your identity and they will get you two married in no time.
What is this drama for?
A 60-year-old man wants to know what love is.
How do I enlighten him?
Don't talk nonsense, Baahu.
Describe love to me and if I still don't understand, then mock me.
Look at those two partridges on that branch in this cold, starry night.
The moon is out in its glory.
Their silken petals are dripping with silver moonlight.
These two are engrossed in caressing and feeding each other with affection.
What do you think when you look at them, uncle?
Gosh!
I spent so many years of my life for nothing.
I never ate a partridge before.
Let's catch these two, marinate them, sprinkle some salt and pepper
then roast them on a slow fire before eating them.
Sheer heaven!
What's wrong with you?
-You did the job this morning. -My Lord?
Princess Devasena is coming to see you.
Welcome, Devasena.
Since you wanted to see me at this hour...
it has to be something special.
Kumara.
I missed out on your brave feat this morning.
Please show me now.
-Really? -Yes!
We won't find a huge log of wood at this hour.
Look over there.
Someone hid it behind the pillar.
-You found it, huh? -Yes.
You found the log, I wonder where I kept my sword...
It's right there.
Move a few steps back.
Go ahead.
Stop! Stop, My Lord.
A brave warrior like you
shouldn't repeat at night
what he's done in the morning. It's inauspicious.
You know this, don't you?
Of course, I do.
I forgot about it completely.
But you reminded me at the right time.
-We're going hunting tomorrow morning. -Why?
Wild boars are ruining our farm...
-Pigs disgust me. -Not pigs.
-Wild boars. -That too.
Farmers complained that wild boars are ravaging their fields.
Bring him along.
-Uncle! -He runs away even at the sight of a rat.
Why do you want to take him along?
How will he learn if he is always in the kitchen?
Till he doesn't come along...
we won't know what he is capable of.
-Bring him along. -Sure, Your Highness.
Look over there!
A boar!
-Get off me. -You killed it.
A blue arrow.
The blue arrow belongs to Kumara Varma.
Kumara Varma killed the wild boar, bravo!
Kumara Varma repeats the feat!
Wild boar.
It is so huge!
-Looks like a horse. -Shut up!
Brilliant! You were too good!
Varma's arrow is like Lord Rama's arrow.
Long live Kumara Varma!
Amazing!
Kumara Varma's bravery, unsurpassed glory!
He single-handedly killed all the wild boars!
Long live Kumara Varma the slayer of boars!
-The slayer of boars.... -Enough with the flattery.
Yes, My Lord.
Devasena, you should put these arrows in the royal museum.
It will motivate our future generations.
The moment I saw you, I had my doubts.
You were too dramatic.
-He was too polite. -Me?
I don't think so.
What did you say your name was?
Shi... Shivu.
Shivu.
He got her.
I can see a calloused hand that wields a sword.
I know what a warrior's hand looks like.
Uncle. She... is saying something.
What are you saying?
He is a simple man!
Let me be the judge of that.
Bring Bahadur.
What is this, Your Highness?
A man who cannot even lift a twig to brush his teeth
what can he do with a huge spear?
Why are you doing this?
B... bull!
The bull is charging towards this coward.
My nephew will die.
My nephew is dead!
What injustice meted out to a boy
who has not yet seen the flush of youth!
Is it a fracture?
It is over! Chapter closed!
Who will marry him now?
Which girl will be ready to fall in love with him?
-Is there a princess who is so kind? -Stop it!
Bring the chariot.
What will I do now?
Oh Lord! Lord! Lord Shiva!
The angel who promised to help broke his arm.
-Lord! -Can you get up?
Imbecile! Can you not hear him?
Get up!
Adjust the pillow.
-Give him the brew at once. -Sire.
If he sleeps well tonight, he will be right as rain.
He's writhing in agony! How can you expect him to sleep?
Oh Lord! Lord Shiva!
-Uncle... -What? Lullaby?
You want someone to sing you a lullaby?
Where will I find someone to sing you a lullaby now? Who?
Do you know how to sing a lullaby?
-You don't, do you? -No.
-What about you? -I can't do it.
Not even you!
What do I do now?
Princess!
Do you sing?
Ever since my nephew broke his arm,
I just can't stop blabbering.
Oh Lord Shiva!
What will I do now? I will have to sing now!
To shower words tender He has no mother
No father either to comfort him here
He's naïve and unaware
Who will comfort him?
Lord Shiva!
To shower words tender He has no mother
No father either to comfort him here
He's naive and unaware
Who will comfort him?
Your Highness, you are still in your hunting attire.
Come, it is time for our prayer.
You play the flute divine
Doe-eyed God, savior of mankind
You play the flute divine
Doe-eyed God, savior of mankind
You play the flute divine
Doe-eyed God, savior of mankind
Don't tease me, I pray
Don't play cruel games, I say
I will tell on You to Your mother
Oh Lord, sleep peacefully
Don't peek secretly
Oh Lord, sleep peacefully
Don't touch me with your divine sight
Oh Lord, sleep peacefully
When I heard Your flute play
I was pulled towards Your way
Why do I sing Your song?
I'm Yours now
I've fallen for You
Oh Lord Mohana!
What has happened?
I must have been a crazy fool
That I let you face a charging bull!
I accept my folly
Oh Lord, sleep peacefully
Slayer of the demon Madhu, Madhava Descendant of Yadu, of the clan Yadava

Radha's beloved
Oh Lord Krishna!
Radha's beloved
Oh Lord, sleep peacefully
Baahubali and Kattappa are in Kuntala Kingdom right now.
Baahubali is pretending to be a blockhead, My Lord.
Why should he pretend?
That's what he is!
Why is he doing so?
Baahubali may be in love with Devasena
the princess of Kuntala Kingdom.
This is her portrait, My Lord.
He gets the throne and marry such a beauty!
Only I should get Devasena, father.
How is it possible?
It's possible only if my mother gives her word.
How can she promise you will marry the beauty your brother is in love with?
She is unaware of the fact that my brother is interested in her.
I intend on making the first move.
That's why.
-Bhalla? -Mother?
Neither did you come for breakfast nor attend court like you do.
-Why, Bhalla? -It's nothing.
I didn't feel like coming.
I know what is happening, Queen Mother.
What is the issue?
Architectural imbalance?
-Architectural imbalance? -Yes, Your Majesty.
The south east corner gained importance all of a sudden.
-Do you want to see? -What are you saying?
Bhalla?
You must listen to me.
Show me.
She's so beautiful who even puts beauty to shame!
-Who is she? -Princess of Kuntala Kingdom.
Her name is Devasena.
The moment he saw the painting,
the north corner gained favor in his heart.
Are you so besotted with this princess, Bhalla?
Yes, mother.
I want her as my wife.
What is this, Your Highness?
You are asking as if she is a toy.
How is it possible?
Why not?
He gave up the throne without a care in the world.
So large-hearted is my son.
If I cannot fulfill such a small wish of his...
then I should die of shame.
Bhalla.
Devasena will be your wife.
I give you my word.
Prime minister.
Send Devasena enough jewelry so that she can wear
a new piece of jewelry every day for an entire year.
-As you command, Your Majesty. -Dandnayak.
Send clothes spun in gold to the royal family of Kuntala Kingdom.
As you command.
Royal sword of Bhallaladeva.
Minister?
Ask Devasena to tie a knot to this sword
-and confirm the marriage alliance. -Yes, Your Highness.
She's my daughter-in-law, so make sure
you spare no expense to give her a grand welcome.
Blessings to King Jaysena of Kuntala Kingdom.
Sivagami, Queen Mother of Mahishmati writes herewith:
"Like Cupid in form,
like the demigods in nature
only the bravest of the brave for my son
I have chosen your sister Devasena as his life partner.
Send your sister Devasena as our daughter-in-law to our kingdom."
By the time you return,
I will find you a princess to narrate enchanting fairy tales!
You have chosen the same girl Baahubali is in love with.
"Yours sincerely, Queen Mother Sivagami Devi."
To seek alliance with Mahishmati Kingdom
when so many powerful empires are waiting in line so eagerly.
But Queen Mother's compassionate gaze has fallen on your small kingdom.
Princess is indeed fortunate.
Look at the trousseau Queen Mother has sent to fix this alliance.
You would have never set eyes upon such wealth and valuables in your life.
Is it just you and your Queen Mother?
Or is everyone in your kingdom like this?
Perhaps, you enjoy drooling over these riches.
Not me. All this is tantamount to dust under my feet!
-Devasena! -Minister!
If your prince had even an ounce of this arrogance...
I would have been glad he is also a man!
Someone as brainless as him, not just me...
even the dogs in my kingdom will not marry such a wimp!
-Devasena? -Bravo, Your Highness!
Your Majesty, please persuade her.
It is her decision, Prime minister.
You send a befitting reply, Devasena.
Write this down.
"To Sivagami Devi, Queen Mother of Mahishmati Kingdom
I, princess Devasena of Kuntala Kingdom
write this with utmost humility.
Without appraising me of your son's appearance and character,
you send me these gifts and expect me to be impressed.
I realize he is a spineless warrior who hides behind a woman.
Along with the trousseau, you have given me so graciously...
I am sending you my sword.
Bedeck your son with gold and precious jewelry.
Ensure he ties the knot to my sword.
Send him to Kuntala Kingdom.
I will look after and nurse him.
With utmost humility, Devasena."
-Prime minister! -Queen Mother?
Order our commander to wage a war against Kuntala Kingdom.
Sivagami!
You don't need a divine weapon to kill a bird.
I heard Baahubali is somewhere around Kuntala Kingdom.
If you send word to him, he'll crush that kingdom to pieces single-handedly
and bring Devasena as his prisoner.
I stretched out my hand seeking amity...
but they want enmity.
Ask Baahubali to bring Devasena as captive to Mahishmati.
Send word to him as Queen Mother's command.
As you order, Queen Mother.
She rejected such a worthy alliance in an outburst of rage,
so you must understand how much she loves me.
But, My Lord, the princess seems to be singing love songs for that blockhead
is what I heard through the harem grapevine.
-That blockhead? -Yes, My Lord.
I will have him trampled under elephants.
Baahu, a piece of good news and also some bad news.
-Which do I tell you first? -Tell me both.
I'll decide which is good or bad.
Queen Mother has sent word asking Devasena to marry you.
My mother knows what I want.
But the princess got enraged...
and rejected the proposal.
This is also good news.
How is it good?
She is in love with me
-she isn't in love with Baahubali. -Oh.
Uncle.
Weapon.
You imbecile!
A scaredy cat is prowling like a tiger!
-Where are you going? -To the princess's chamber.
You are so audacious!
Do you want to meet Devasena at this hour?
Why?
Your kingdom is in peril, Kumara Varma.
-Listen to me. -You dare call me by my name!
I don't have time to explain.
Move aside.
How dare you brush me aside!
Don't stand there dazed, Kumara Varma. They are bandits.
Sound the alarm.
Look! Shiva.
-They are attacking. -Kumara Varma.
Time offers every spineless man an opportunity to become a brave warrior.
This is your opportunity.
God creates life.
The physician saves it.
One who protects that life is a true warrior!
But...
Princess.
Not two, but four.
Turn the wrist facing outward.
Shoot.
Wait.
Who are you?
This isn't the right time for explanations, let's go.
We are all mere cowherds, sir.
How can we fight?
If your focus is right, you can use a blade of grass as an arrow!
Your army lacks adequate strength.
Your kingdom needs every helping hand.
-Are you ready? -Yes, we are.
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
Protector of the seas and land
Lord Rudra with trident in hand Protector of the seas and land
Demonstrate your strength. Godspeed.
Now go. Praise be to Goddess Bhavani.
Praise be to Goddess Bhavani.
Climb up.
Fix the hooks below.
Sadhaka!
I couldn't recognize you.
I derided you.
I kicked you into your chest.
Only when you kicked me I realized how strong you are!
This is not blood, my friend.
It is a mark of victory.
Pronouncing you as a warrior and not a coward.
You saved us like God from an unexpected peril.
Who are you?
Where are you from?
Don't bother about who we are, Your Majesty.
We came here because we believe only you can help us.
This brave warrior needs help from me.
He is in love with a girl from your kingdom.
Is that so?
Who is that lucky maiden?
She is...
Your princess.
What more joy can one ask for?
What is the message, brave heart?
Well...
What is it?
Queen Mother Sivagami has ordered me to bring you back to our land as captive.
Treachery.
Princess, you misunderstood...
We hailed you as a godsend and the savior a while ago.
Now you want to take me as your prisoner.
Who are you?
Even sweets taste bitter when you are angry, Princess!
Just answer my question. Who are you?
Once you calm down, I...
Crown Prince of Mahishmati Kingdom.
Queen Mother's Sivagami's beloved son.
Bravest of braves, achieved the impossible
by defeating the invincible Kalakeyas.
Amarendra Baahubali.
With kith and kin, embraces will do, respect is unnecessary, Your Majesty.
Queen Mother asked for Devasena's hand for this brave warrior?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Queen Mother doesn't know that Baahubali loves your sister.
Because you rejected her son, she asked him to make you a prisoner.
My mother can never be wrong, Devasena.
There's a reason behind her inexplicable actions.
This is an error based on confusion, not born out of contempt.
Come with me as my prisoner.
You are the brave warrior who won over my heart.
If you ask me to come as your attendant,
I will gladly follow you into the jaws of death.
I won't give up my dignity by becoming your captive.
It's impossible.
From this instant...
till death separates us...
I am yours, Devasena.
I swear upon on the principles my mother has instilled in me
that I won't let your chastity and respect be tarnished in any way.
Give me your hand.
You're taking away the light of our life.
Don't worry. She's my responsibility now.
Princess, you are not hurt, I hope.
Your thoughts are flitting... from one thing to another.
Oh king of kings
The bravest of all
Oh king of kings
The bravest of all
Don't ever leave my sights
I am all yours
So what are you waiting for?
Take me with you
Hold my hands
We must stride together
Devasena is all yours
I want to live and die In your arms forever
Even I cannot live without you
When our hearts united Conveys the waves
And I heard
The sky sing songs of our love
Your love is like a dream
May this dream never break
Devasena is for yours to take
Oh king of kings
The bravest of all
Oh king of kings
The bravest of all
Don't ever leave my sights
I am all yours
So what are you waiting for?
Take me with you
Hold my hands
We must stride together
Devasena is all yours
Don't worry about anything, Princess.
Queen Mother will take care of you as her own daughter.
Mahishmati.
Royal Court, attention!
I ridiculed your decision and insulted you.
I replied arrogantly and hurt you.
Could you forgive my arrogance, Queen Mother?
Sivagami's daughter-in-law is arrogant...
and it makes her even more attractive.
Come and stand next to your future husband.
Whether my decision is the perfect choice or not...
let the people of Mahishmati decide.
Devasena?
What are you doing?
I am doing exactly as you said.
I chose you as bride for my son Bhallaladeva.
What are you saying, Queen Mother?
The man I fell in love with and you wished me to marry
is Baahubali.
What is happening here?
Please forgive me, Queen Mother.
I made a huge blunder.
The son you had referred to in your royal message
I mistook it to be Baahubali.
I am responsible for all this chaos.
Please don't blame the princess.
Kattappa.
Raking the past is futile.
We need to focus only on our future.
Queen Mother...
Baahu.
I have given my word to your brother that he will marry Devasena.
Stop it!
Who are you to give your word for my marriage without my consent?
Do you not know a princess has the right to choose her husband?
Are you not aware of that courtesy?
How can you be so tactless?
How dare you take that tone with me!
Dandnayak.
Tie this boorish girl and make her kneel.
As you command, Queen Mother.
If you lay a hand on Devasena,
you incur the wrath of Baahubali's sword.
Mother.
I have given my word to Devasena to protect her dignity.
Your Highness, you're going against Queen Mother's orders?
Remember, once you said that even Lord Shiva could make a mistake
but our Queen Mother's words could never go wrong.
For a word given in good faith,
for upholding justice,
to protect the principles, oppose whoever the offender is.
Even if it is God, do not be afraid.
That is your duty.
A warrior's duty.
Promising your son blindly not knowing a woman's heart is wrong.
You made a mistake, mother.
Sivagami made a mistake!
Your birth caused the death of your mother.
She nursed you, raised you. Was it a mistake?
She brought you up like her own child, was that a mistake?
Was it a mistake to declare you as the crown prince?
Or perhaps your coronation?
What's her mistake?
Did you see that, Sivagami?
He terms your sacrifice as mistake.
You must honor your promise.
But is it all right if your mother breaks her promise?
So your mother's promise has no value or respect?
No need.
Our pearls of wisdom are falling on deaf ears.
I realize that now.
Amarendra Baahubali!
You have two choices before you.
Do you want the kingdom of Mahishmati which is a slice of paradise?
Or do you wish to marry this manipulator Devasena?
Aspiring for the throne if I break my promise to her
it will be a disgrace to the way you raised me.
I cannot break my promise.
So be it.
On the forthcoming Vijaydashmi, at same auspicious hour
Bhallaladeva will ascend the throne of Mahishmati.
Commander Baahubali will oversee the ceremony
and the grand coronation.
Queen Mother, kindly reconsider.
This is my word.
And my word is the law!
To the east of Mahishmati is the Udayagiri mountains.
Malava islands to its west.
Many vassal kingdoms like Kuntala are situated in the north.
Vast extensive the Katkari forest and Kalakeya forest in the south
are the boundaries of
this glorious Mahishmati Kingdom of which Bhallaladeva
will be the sole sovereign.
May Mahishmati always be indestructible
Through passage of time indisputable
May all its endeavors be victorious
Until the sun, moon, stars shine glorious
Cavalry of Mahishmati.
Attention.
Salute the king.
Impenetrable, fortified in every form
Formidable even to enemies fearsome
May warfare tactics core be the military forms four.
To receive His Majesty, the elephant troops pay tribute.
Parade a march of victory.
Fencers.
May the battlefield display in history.
Mahishmati's greatness and glory
Let the flag exemplify With this emblem sky high
A golden throne flanked by horses two
Imprinting the glory of Mahishmati true
Under the tutelage of Karikal Kattappa
the special contingent,
salute the king at his feet.
Pay obeisance.
Till the sun, the moon and the stars...
I, Bhallaladeva, son of Bijjaldeva and Sivagami Devi
take the noble responsibility of ruling
this vast empire Mahishmati.
I hereby promise to defend my kingdom with Lord as the witness.
Emperor Bhallaladeva.
Long live! Long live!
Emperor Bhallaladeva.
Long live! Long live!
Emperor Bhallaladeva.
Long live! Long live!
Till the sun, the moon and the stars...
I, Amarendra Baahubali...
We want Baahubali!
I, Amarendra Baahubali...
will protect the people of Mahishmati
I'll protect their health, wealth, life and dignity.
As Supreme Commander of King Bhallaladeva's armed forces.
I will be alert each and every moment while I discharge my duty.
I will not even hesitate to sacrifice my life.
I take this oath of allegiance with Queen Mother Sivagami Devi as the witness.
Bhallaladeva, you don't deserve this throne!
Baahubali, long live!
Mahishmati.
Ever since I know,
I have always longed for you.
Even in my dreams and sleep, I placed you on my head.
After all these years.
After all these ploys.
Though in the palm of my hand, I cannot clasp you!
Why are you evading me?
When I gave you pride of place why did you prefer Baahubali to me?
Bhalla.
You are the king now.
Have him killed.
No one can oppose you.
Finish him off.
I can only issue an order.
The power to execute that order still lies with Queen Mother.
I must change that.
Change Sivagami?
The sun cannot rise in the west, Bhalla.
Might is right!
The sun will never rise in the west.
But I shall bury it in the east.
Sivagami, you've nursed a serpent in your bosom.
Now it has bared its fangs.
It will bite you, sooner or later.
You never valued my words.
I am the cause for your mother and you drifting apart.
I feel distressed by that burden.
My mother's anger will last only till we give her a grandson.
In the mother's womb Rests Baby Nandlala
Place these offerings here.
The rest over there.
...rests Baby Nandlala
Offer a veil to mother Yashoda Come over, Nand and offer her gifts
Are you worried because your mother has not come as yet?
She will definitely attend. I know for sure.
Kattappa?
Your Highness.
Didn't you bring any gift for me?
I am a slave who is not even privileged to wish you wholeheartedly.
What gift can I offer?
If I ask you for something you can do, will you do it?
My pleasure.
According to our custom, after birth
the baby should be held first by his grandfather.
This blesses the child with long life.
My father is not alive, neither is his father.
Will you do us the honor, Kattappa?
For a slave who has no right to even stand near you.
You want to treat me like your father.
I will hold your baby not only in my hand...
but carry him over my head.
Welcome Queen Mother Sivagami Devi!
Mother?
You carry the heir of Mahishmati Kingdom.
Take all the precautions.
You lost that privilege long time ago.
She has come here as Queen Mother.
Am I late?
For the cub born to this tigress.
For the little tiger.
Kumara hunted and killed this tiger by himself you know?
Really, Kumara?
If a hand wields Baahubali's sword,
if Baahubali's words are deep seated in any heart
even a new born baby can kill a tiger!
Welcome King Bhallaladeva.
Attention!
I will give you a special gift which no one else can offer.
What gift is that, Your Majesty?
A pregnant woman about to deliver does not desire riches or possessions.
She only craves for her husband's embrace.
Baahu.
You don't spend enough time with Devasena because you're busy serving the kingdom.
Therefore, I relieve you of your duties
and replace you with Setupaty.
-As you wish, Your Majesty. -But...
Baahu?
You're witnessing an elaborate charade
like a mute spectator, Queen Mother.
Devasena?
You have not understood our customs as yet.
Only the king reserves the right to choose who gets what.
That's only for the king to decide.
Lame excuses.
Queen Mother?
It takes only good men to do nothing for evil to succeed.
Are you not unaware of that?
A brave warrior like Baahubali is removed from power
and who replaces him, this scumbag?
-How can you be quiet? -Devasena!
All our guests came laden with gifts.
You have not given me any gift. Will you give me what I ask for?
You must ascend the throne of Mahishmati.
That is my wish.
It's not just my wish.
Our people have the same wish.
It's said that a warrior's duty is to fulfill people's wishes.
Then do your duty.
Mother?
Salutations, Your Highness.
Time for the king to arrive now. Whoever it may be...
go through the next line.
Please go first.
It is all right. Please go ahead.
Come on.
Come forward.
Too many people in the line.
Everyone should step forward. Quick.
Come on.
You will be next.
Arrest her.
Arrest her!
Devasena, wife of Baahubali is accused of
chopping off Commander Setupaty's fingers.
With Queen Mother Sivagami Devi's permission
under the jurisprudence of Honorable King Bhallaladeva,
the interrogation will commence now.
Go ahead.
Is there anything you wish to speak, Devasena?
You have handcuffed me even before a fair trial.
You have already charged me guilty of the crime.
-Is this what you call justice? -You are guilty until proven innocent.
This is the law of Mahishmati.
Even barbarians will not frame a law like this.
Throw your code of laws into the fire.
Toss your covenants into the sea, bury your treatise deep into the ground.
What an irony! This kingdom is named Mahishmati: the Ultimate Utopia.
Devasena!
If you utter another blasphemous word against our great, renowned kingdom...
Gigantic thrones and golden statues
are not the measure of a kingdom, Queen Mother.
It takes only compassion.
No one here has big hearts or open minds.
Shameful!
You heard her, Your Majesty?
She's deriding you right in front of us.
Just imagine what she would've said behind your back.
Think about it, Your Majesty.
Baahubali!
Baahubali is here.
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
Protector of the seas and land
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
What happened? Tell me, Setupaty.
The temple was teeming with devotees.
Devasena also arrived.
You were about to arrive...
Since you were about to arrive, I told her...
I asked her to enter through another line.
Baahu, what is this?
You are intimidating the victim.
The truth will not be disclosed if asked politely, Your Majesty.
You are crossing your limit, Baahubali.
When this court chained a woman in her final trimester,
it already crossed its limit, mother.
Be it a pregnant woman, tottering old hag, you or me.
Rules of interrogation are the same.
Do you know what happened?
What happened, Devasena?
He asked the women to form a separate line inside the temple.
Then he made a pass at them.
-He was about to grope me too. -She is lying.
-I chopped his fingers. -That's not the right thing to do.
If one lays a hand on any woman, you should not chop his fingers.
You should chop his... head off!
Our Mahishmati Kingdom is indestructible
Through passage of time, indisputable.
With the sun, moon, stars glorious
Aligned triumphant, always victorious
Baahubali!
What audacity! How dare you insult my court?
Since Setupaty was guilty, he was perturbed and panic-stricken.
Because Devasena spoke the truth, she stood absolutely fearless.
His guilt has been proved, he was beheaded!
Baahubali?
As you claimed Setupaty might even be guilty.
Who should interrogate and pass the verdict?
You or the king?
Or are you thinking you are the king?
During the baby shower, your wife wanted you to be crowned king.
Did you choose the wrong way to act as king to make her wish come true?
Mother?
Ignoring my repeated warnings,
your wife maligned Mahishmati's constitution.
She scorned our governing law scriptures.
She uttered in many a word.
You proved with your sword.
Both your deeds tantamount to royal treachery.
-Prime minister. -Queen Mother.
What is the punishment to be meted out to them?
If any member of the royal family violates Mahishmati's laws,
they should be banished from the palace.
Mete out the punishment.
I want both of you this
to walk out of our royal palace with just the clothes you are wearing.
On one hand is the law you trust, on the other are your principles.
Between the two is the sword you gave me.
It's tilting towards principles.
Even if I am banished or removed from my position...
I will serve and sacrifice my life for Mahishmati.
Does the sun
Ever leave the skies?
I take your leave, mother.
Does the lamp
Ever burn without the wick?
Does the sun
Ever leave the skies?
Does the lamp
Ever burn without the wick?
This is unfair
Every eye is filled with tears
You left us
How can we live?
You're our benefactor
You're our support
You're our entire world
You are our sun
And the stars
Glory to you, glory to you
Lord, always help us when in need
Glory to you, glory to you
Stop crying.
God has left the temple and he will live with us now.
Let's celebrate.
You're that stream You're that stream
Wherever you shall set foot
Turns into paradise for us
No one can understand your divine play
You're the strength of the weak
As long as he is alive
he will always be considered as king.
Those under your refuge Need not fear anyone
Every inch of our body Is brimming with joy
Swaying like the branches
How are you able to sleep?
He is instigating our subjects
and he claims he can solve their problems.
He says they don't need a king.
He is up to something. I am scared.
You're the one
Who quenches our thirst Like the clouds
You're that stream of nectar
Glory to you, glory to you
Lord, always help us in need
Glory to you, glory to you
Lord, always help us in need
Bhalla, what are you doing here at this hour?
Why is he here?
Forgive us, Your Majesty. He escaped today.
Tomorrow, if you do not place his head in my hand...
Whose head?
I will chop your head and place it in your hand.
-Go. -Bhalla.
-My Lord. -Bhalla, whose head?
Who else?
Baahubali, of course!
Are you out of your mind?
You trying to have him killed. How could you stoop so low?
His wife
-and her unborn baby must die too. -Bhalla.
If you oppose me, I'll forget the fact you are my father!
I overheard everything.
I know my son.
If he makes up his mind...
he has to achieve it.
-We must inform Baahubali at once. -Will he believe us?
Baahubali doesn't understand craftiness.
He will never believe that his brother can stoop so low.
I can see only one way out now.
What is that?
-Only you can do this. -Me?
Bhallaladeva...
needs to die!
Do not refuse, Kumara Varma.
For Baahubali's sake.
For Devasena.
For the unborn baby in her womb.
Kill my son Bhallaladeva.
Fine.
Kumara Varma.
Time offers every spineless man an opportunity to become a brave warrior.
This is your opportunity.
You still don't understand, do you, Kumara Varma?
Sacrificial offering is being performed!
To get Baahubali's death warrant signed and sealed by Sivagami's own hands.
A great sacrificial offering.
In that great ritual, you are a small piece of wood.
Look, Sivagami.
Baahubali gave his dagger to his trusted aide, Kumara Varma.
Told him about the secret passage to the royal palace.
He has sent him to kill the king at midnight.
Kumara Varma and his men
killed all our bodyguards.
They also scarred King Bhallaladeva's face.
After this terrible event, we shouldn't wait even for a moment.
Baahubali needs to die.
Why are you still introspecting, Sivagami?
Discharge your duty as the Queen Mother.
Do not fall prey to your maternal sentiments.
Bhallaladeva is not only your son, he is also the ruler of this kingdom.
Whoever tries to kill the king...
he has to be sentenced to death.
If Baahubali is sentenced to death...
our people will revolt.
Our court will split into factions.
Civil war is not good for the kingdom.
So you intend to forgive him even after all this high treason?
Baahubali's death is certain.
But his blood stains should not smear the hands of the king.
History should not defame the king for murdering his brother.
Then...
what is your plan?
Kattappa.
Your ancestors have pledged their allegiance to Mahishmati.
They also pledged their unquestioned obedience to the king.
Do you adhere to that oath?
No doubt indeed.
Your wish is my command.
Kill Baahubali.
What are you saying?
Why?
Just follow the orders.
Queen Mother?
Mother?
Is this happening with your consent?
I beg of you.
Ask the king to take back his order.
The world might turn upside down,
but Baahubali can never commit a crime.
You raised him.
You nursed him and brought him up.
-Your teachings run in his blood, Mother. -Baahubali has to die.
I won't be able to do it.
I cannot do it.
As punishment for my refusal.
Please sever my head.
Will you kill him?
Or shall I finish this task?
No, Queen Mother.
Your hands should not be stained by that sin.
I will kill him.
Can we trust this dog, Bhalla?
Our prince is so perturbed.
Everything will be fine.
Kattappa is being punished for royal treason.
Did you see him?
Yes.
Do you know what you are saying?
Careful.
Uncle is in danger, Devasena.
I have to leave now.
He has promised to hold our baby in his hands.
Please bring him back safely.
Baahubali.
Baahubali! Run!
Who was it, uncle?
Baahu?
Baahu.
Massacre them.
Baahu, leave me here.
Listen to me, Baahu.
Life of this slave is not more precious than yours.
Leave me. Go.
Leave me here, Baahu
Listen to me.
Leave me here.
Don't risk your life...
Try to understand.
Leave me here to die.
Even I want to abandon you, old man.
You have promised to hold my baby in your hands first.
My wife made me promise that
I'd bring you back... safely.
So, uncle...
Keep quiet for a while...
and let me do my job.
Oh God! How do I convince you?
I beg of you.
Go away.
Go away, Baahu.
Go away.
Are you scared for Baahubali?
Uncle, as long as you are by my side, no one can lay a finger on me.
Uncle?
Uncle...
Royal command.
The king ordered me to kill you.
Baahu. Baahu.
Baahu, forgive me.
Take care of my mother.
Long live... Mahishmati!
I suspected you for no reason, Kattappa.
You are my dog, indeed.
Baahubali.
Amarendra Baahubali.
"I, Amarendra Baahubali
will protect the people of Mahishmati.
Their health, wealth and dignity...
I will protect them all.
With Queen Mother Sivagami Devi as my witness
I take this oath of allegiance."
Queen Mother.
Foolish mother.
I convinced her that you had planned to kill me.
I made her sign and seal your death warrant.
You pledged your allegiance to her!
We are worried to death.
Please ask Queen Mother...
What happened to Baahubali?
Baahubali's blood.
Can we wash away this sin in this life, mother?
Kattappa!
You were wrong, Sivagami!
A grave mistake.
You were blinded by the rage you had against Baahubali
and thus you failed to see through your son's conspiracy.
Queen Mother.
Foolish mother.
I convinced her that you had planned to kill me.
I made her sign and seal your death warrant.
When he breathed his last,
he did not think of his wife or unborn child.
Do you know the last words he uttered?
Take care of my mother.
Oh, the light of my life
I am your mother
Let me hide you in my arms
Oh Baahubali
Uncle Kattappa
Is your protector
With your brother Bhalla
On your side
When you're in your mother's arms
Forget about the world
And weave beautiful dreams
Oh Baahubali
You gave me the honor of being your father
and asked me to use my hands to bless your child.
But I used the same hands...
to kill your husband.
Strangle that tiny throat, Sivagami.
Or else that baby's cry will soon rebel
as a voice of inquiry against you. Cross-examine you.
Roar in uproar.
Only if we stifle the cry of this newborn,
all enemies of Mahishmati will be annihilated.
Crush him.
You realized the virtues of Baahubali
and thus risen above us all.
I killed the son I nursed...
and thus I have fallen from grace, right at your feet.
Other than joining him in his abode to wash his feet with my tears of remorse...
how else can I repent for my sins?
What else can I do?
Mother.
They are not sure if Baahubali is dead
so are clamoring for an official declaration.
They will believe it only if you announce.
Go and announce.
I will handle this child.
Amarendra Baahubali is no more!
Now your new king is...
Mahendra Baahubali!
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
Mahendra Baahubali.
Long live!
Mahendra Baahubali.
Long live!
Kattappa, summon the council of ministers for an urgent meeting.
The guilty should be hanged till death publicly.
So be it, Mother.
You loved Baahubali more than anyone
and yet you branded him as a rebel and had him killed.
As it turns out, I'm a two-faced-beast.
Why will you forgive me?
Would I not have taken ample precautions?
Guards!
Kill Sivagami and the baby.
Come with me, Queen Mother.
Devasena. Devasena.
Get up. Listen to me.
Mother...
If you save my son...
then it will take away the pain of losing my husband.
Mahendra, you must come back here.
I will be waiting for you.
Mahishmati Kingdom will be waiting for you.
Will you come back?
Your Majesty, she has escaped.
After usurping the throne of Mahishmati,
Bhallaladeva's atrocities knew no bounds.
Due to his murderous rage against Devasena,
he reduced Kuntala Kingdom to cinders.
If there is anyone left for you in this world to love or hate
then it's only me, Devasena.
Everyone thought you were dead.
But your grandmother sacrificed her life to save you.
Your mother...
Your motherland...
have been waiting for you for 25 long years.
Only for you, Mahendra.
Send word to our kingdom, grandfather!
Ask the young, old and everyone to assemble before me.
Sword, saber, stick, spear, scythe, sickle.
Tell them to bring any weapon they can find.
Tell them, it's time to free this kingdom from the curse
and Queen Mother Sivagami's grandson and Amarendra Baahubali's heir
Mahendra Baahubali is finally back!
They have 30,000 warriors, Your Majesty.
We do not even have proper weapons.
Our hands are our weapons.
This life is our wild tempest.
Each one of us is a powerful army.
Praise be to Mahishmati!
The golden statue.
The throne of Mahishmati, the crown on my head
and my complete control over this kingdom.
I always assumed all this will make me happy.
But I was wrong.
This iron chain...
which made Devasena feel hell on earth...
These shackles.
Now that I see Devasena is no longer enslaved...
the veins in my forehead are about to explode, father.
I want Devasena.
Your Majesty, Kattappa has garnered support
from people to revolt against us.
Kattappa?
Why should this slave dog Kattappa revolt now?
Lord Rudra
Bhalla, what's wrong?
With trident in hand
Every single head which witnessed your death will roll.
Bhadra, I will pile
all those heads and place yours on top and cremate you.
With the anguished cries of 10,000 families
echoing as an auspicious tune.
I will bid you farewell.
Death to the enemy!
Charge!
Attack!
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
Protector of the seas and land
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
Attack!
You carried him in your womb only for nine months.
On the other hand,
you have been with me for 25 years.
How could you leave me as soon as he came back, Devasena?
Move!
Earth for sustenance
Divine mother of benevolence
Avani, the basis of existence
Raise the drawbridge!
Release the arrows.
Wait, Mahendra.
The very thought of my mother being his captive makes me seethe in anger.
I do not care if I die, do not stop me.
Was your mother's penance all these decades to see you die?
It was to watch him die!
You are Amarendra Baahubali's son whose radiant thoughts lit the darkness.
Think like your father.
Think like Baahubali.
Pull harder!
Pull harder with all your might.
Release!
Attack!
Glory!
Glory to Baahubali
Glory!
Glory to Baahubali
Glory!
Who operates the drawbridge? Find them.
What are you doing, Kattappa?
Your forefathers for generations were servile to the king.
They earned so much good will.
You want to tarnish their good reputation...
and go back on your word?
Do not succumb to this, Kattappa.
Correct your mistakes.
Once you killed Baahubali...
kill his son too.
Go, Kattappa.
Kill him.
Twenty five years ago,
Queen Mother proclaimed Mahendra Baahubali as our king.
I assumed he was no more
and all these years I have served a lie.
Our truth is back with a bang.
Kattappa never breaks his promise, My Lord.
Half the army of Bhallaladeva is inside the fort, Mahendra.
We must find a way for our troops to enter.
I want a hammer, grandfather.
Shiva!
Light the fire, Avanthika.
Hand me the staff, grandfather.
Lord Rudra
Go ahead, mother.
With trident in hand
Even before you complete the third circle,
I will have him laid out on the pyre ready to burn!
Go ahead, Devasena.
Before you come back here, I'll place your son's head in your hands.
Trial by fire.
Whoever completes it will never face defeat, My lord.
Create hurdles.
Devasena must stop walking.
Before she circumambulates the temple,
set the bridge on fire.
Cover her. Protect her.
How dare you break my head! How dare you!
I thought you were dead, but you are back.
You have no idea how happy that makes me!
I couldn't kill him with my bare hands and this thought gave me sleepless nights.
You are the spitting image of your father!
You're back only to grant me my unfulfilled wish.
Now you have given me the chance to pluck your heart out.
How can I express my gratitude...
Mahendra Baahubali?
The consort of the sportive Daughter of the mountain
Whose mind rejoices
At Her side long glances
With the stream of merciful look Which removes hardships
Makes my mind take pleasure in Him Who wears the directions as apparel
Lord

Mahendra!
No. Devasena.
Listen. Come with me.
We can both die together.
The funeral pyre is lit
Smoke fills the lungs
Yet there is a yearning In my heart
Bhallaladeva's anguished cries petrified of death
Will echo around and far beyond the walls of Mahishmati
See who comes your way
Glory, Glory
Here's my first order with Queen Mother Sivagami Devi as the witness.
In our kingdom, those who believe in hard work and justice
will walk with their heads held high.
If anyone thinks of harming these good people
whoever it may be, their severed head will burn in the fires of Hell.
This is my word.
And my word is the law!
River of Life
When God stands behind The vow taken by humans
Even the stars, The earth and skies bow before him
When humans use their faith as weapon
Even destiny accepts defeat
But, grandfather
will Mahendra Baahubali's son be the heir to Mahishmati's throne?
God only knows!
How could I guess Lord Shiva's mind?
