Lord Shiva.
If death is the only redemption for my sins, take my life!
But spare the child!
He has to live for his mother, yearning to meet him.
He must live to ascend the throne of Mahishmati.
Mahendra Baahubali must live!
Look!
What are you waiting for? Hurry up, go!
Hey! Be careful!
Hey, what is the matter?
I'm not sure, Master.
From her bangles, it looked like she might be a queen.
She pointed up at that mountain.
Master!
What happened?
They might have come to kill the lady.
She must have outwitted them and killed them.
Master!
Oh, my God! A cave.
We never even knew this existed.
I think this leads to the top of the mountain.
The lady pointed upwards.
Maybe she wants us to take him there.
Have you lost your mind?
They sent an army to kill a newborn baby.
Don't you see how dangerous it could be up there?
-But, Sanga… -Yes.
He is my son now.
This is Goddess Ganga's boon to me.
And if anyone has any objection,
I don't mind strangling him to death.
Hey, what are you waiting for? Seal this cave!
How many times have I told you not to climb the mountain?
Why don't you listen to me?
You're a sweetheart, right? Tell me you won't do it again.
Looks like he will actually cross it this time.
No way. Look at that waterfall.
It goes all the way up to the clouds.
He fell many times from 40 yards up.
He's fallen about a 100 times.
Just wait. He'll fall in no time.
Hey, Siva!
Look what your mom is trying to do.
Hail Lord Shiva.
If you do this 101 times more, your vow will be fulfilled.
Priest, if I fulfill my vows, will my son obey me?
Will he stop climbing that water mountain?
Of course! You have no idea how powerful Lord Shiva is.
Anoint Lord Shiva sincerely.
He will show your son the right path.
Mom, do you think you are young?
What would happen to you if you did this so many times?
-Move. -Mom.
Listen to me.
-Mom… -Why? Have you ever listened to me?
I'll do this on your behalf. Please agree.
No way! Lord Shiva won't allow it.
Whoever made the vow must fulfill it.
Priest, go back to what you were doing.
Hail Lord Shiva!
-Mom… -What is it now?
Mom, let me at least carry you. You anoint your God. Is that fine?
No way. Lord Shiva won't accept this.
Whoever made the vow must perform it. And she must walk by herself.
Priest!
Are you and your Lord Shiva planning to kill my mother?
Who knows?
How would I know what Lord Shiva wants?
Hail Lord Shiva.
Hey, Sanga!
Come and see what your son is up to.
What is it this time?
Siva, stop!
What are you doing? You will perish in hell.
Shiva.
Siva--
In fervent contemplation, amid The grandeur of cosmic vibrations
Dances the Supreme
The one beyond all earthly limitations
Threads of fire aglow A radiant halo adorns the forehead
In the fiery vortex, a youthful Moon adorns, love is spread
Who is this? Who is this? From where does he arrive?
Swiftly encompassing all directions His brilliance does thrive.
His arms transform, stories unfold
Bhagirathi flows towards you As Shiva takes hold
Behold this mysterious illusion
Oh, the delight of the earth Friend of the playful peacock
The melodious notes Of your laughter resonate
In the mind
With the compassionate glances From your sword-bearing eyes
You uplift the earth, unyielding
With a firm resolve
At times, adorned in the quarters of space You exude joy
Oh, Digambara, clad in the sky Your grace delights the heart
With serpents as ornaments And the effulgent glow of a gem
Your face shines like the blooming Kadamba flowers, soaked in vermilion
Mom!
Not just a thousand times, you can shower Lord Shiva all the time.
Are you happy now?
What's up there, Mom?
There are ghosts and demons up there.
The empire of Mahishmati!
Shall always remain
Unconquerable
As long as the sun, the moon And the stars shine in the sky
It shall prosper!
And flourish!
Trample it down, Bhalla!
Did you see that, Grandfather?
-Hail Bhallaladeva… -Hail Bhallaladeva!
-Amazing!
Bhallaladeva!
Your loyalty surprises me, Kattappa.
I know how much you hate me.
Yet you put your life on the line to save mine.
How, Kattappa?
How do you manage to do it?
All right! Ask for a reward.
Ask for anything.
Your Majesty!
I have only one wish.
You have been holding Devasena captive for 25 years.
Please release her.
So be it. After all, I have given you my word.
Go, kill Devasena and release her!
Nothing is better than death, Kattappa.
Right?
Go ahead!
No?
Then let her suffer.
Not for just another 25 years. Let her suffer until she dies.
Hey!
Hey, oldie! Get up.
Hey, get up!
Hey, Devasena.
I hope we are doing great in torturing you.
You rejected me and chose him.
Well, where is he now?
I have a question. Be honest, Devasena.
In all these years,
have you ever heard anyone mention his name?
At least in the middle of the night, when there is no one around,
as you lie there alone in your shackles,
have you ever heard his name?
You haven't.
Mahishmati has forgotten him.
He is not even in their memory anymore.
Only two people in this empire remember him.
That's you and me.
You want to see him at least once before you die.
I want to kill him once again with my hands.
Neither of our wishes has been fulfilled yet.
Devasena.
At least agree this time.
If you agree, I can set you free by breaking these shackles.
Would you remain here as a prisoner forever?
No, Kattappa.
My son will come.
He will set me free.
How can a dead son come back for you?
My son is alive.
He will come looking for me.
Why are you tolerating this torture, waiting for your long-dead son?
Accept the truth, Devasena.
I might not get another opportunity to free you.
The guards will be here soon.
Please agree to it.
Please say yes, Devasena!
I beg of you.
Why are you so obsessed with collecting twigs?
Do you think collecting twigs is a crazy act, Kattappa?
I'm building a funeral pyre!
To burn Bhallaladeva's blood, flesh, heart,
and every part of his body to ashes!
I am getting the pyre ready.
My son will arrive.
He will drag that devil onto this pyre.
He will make me ignite the fire for Bhallaladeva's pyre!
When he screams in pain, unwilling to die.
Then his screams will echo in the Mahishmati palace.
My son will arrive.
Hey, Siva.
How long will you stare at that wooden mask?
There must be someone over there.
Why do you care? Your mom is calling you.
-Let's go home. -You go ahead.
I'll come later.
All right, let's go.
Who are you?
And why did you come to me?
My heart is lost
Like a drop in the waves
I am the one whose eyes shine Midst the stars
My voice echoes through streams
Listen to me!
The persevering one Your bravery will take you forward
You leap higher and higher Firm and stable and determined
The persevering one Your bravery will take you forward
You leap higher and higher Firm and stable and determined
I breathe for you
Come and let us live together
Let me tell you something, my love
I chose you as my soul mate
Whether I stumble and fall With haste I will come
I am but a sudden gust of wind
I stop for no one
I will break free of every mountain In no time
He is strong and without An equal adversary who can fight
His anger will cause new fears in his foes
You come out of blue
With a gift of love
Drop a word and I swear
I will give up my life for you
Scaling the impossible peak His blood flows like a rivulet
His sturdy body, a weapon Hail this hero of the world
Destructive in the air and Sky can win with his roar of war
A ferocious warrior will become Soft-hearted afterwards
Killer of fear Ocean of wealth
Arduous struggle over Healing calm sets over him
Killer of fear Ocean of wealth
Arduous struggle over Healing calm sets over him
Killer of fear Ocean of wealth
Arduous struggle over Healing calm sets over him
The persevering one Your bravery will take you forward
You leap higher and higher Firm and stable and determined
The persevering one Your bravery will take you forward
You leap higher and higher Firm and stable and determined
-The persevering one -Hey, listen
-Your bravery will take you forward -Come closer
-You leap higher and higher -Hey, handsome
-Firm and stable and determined -You are mine
Hey!
Hey, stop.
Hey.
There she is.
Hey…
Kashi!
Finding that the beautiful woman he loved
was a fearless warrior, Siva was stunned.
He secretly followed her.
And discovered that Avanthika was part of the Kuntala Kingdom's secret army.
Sworn to rescue the captive Devasena from the Mahishmati Kingdom,
even if it meant sacrificing their lives.
However strong and unyielding Avanthika looked,
Siva saw a sensitive woman's tender heart beneath her warrior's armor.
He showed Avanthika the inner beauty she had long forgotten.
Avanthika was speechless when she found out
that Siva had crossed the mountain,
a feat that seemed impossible,
just to catch a glimpse of her.
She fell in love with him.
But she prioritized her duty over her love.
Avanthika--
Hey!
Pat her down.
Attack!
Baahubali!
Your Highness!
Forgive me, Your Highness.
Don't kill me.
Please, forgive me, Your Highness.
Good arrangements, I must say.
When establishing our King's statue,
our elephants should trumpet loudly so that it echoes from all directions.
Let me see that.
I'm really sorry, Siva.
I didn't know what to do.
I don't want to lose you, but I can't abandon my duty--
You belong to me, Avanthika.
Everything related to you is mine.
Hey! What is wrong with it?
Your purpose is mine as well.
What's wrong?
All our men died, Your Highness.
We didn't expect him to be there, Your Highness.
Who?
Who is it?
Baahubali!
I don't know who Devasena is.
But if it is her freedom that you want,
then I will free her.
Are you out of your mind?
No, Your Highness. It was Baahubali. I am telling the truth.
How can a dead man come back?
But he is back, Your Highness. I saw him with my own eyes.
He was killing our men single-handedly.
He seemed like Lord Narasimha himself.
He is dead.
We killed him.
His blood dripped and seeped into the earth.
His body was burned to ashes in the fire.
His body was swept away in the River Pranahita.
Pyre is burning
Still there is hope
In my heart
His ashes were scattered into the air.
Will there ever be dawn here
These shackles ask
His soul drifted into the endless void of the universe.
Baahubali is dead! We killed him.
Look who is here
Mahishmati, you are safe now.
My son is here.
Baahubali has returned!
Pull it up! Hurry up!
Everyone must cheer and applaud when the king's statue is placed.
No need to worry!
It's a 150-foot-tall statue after all!
Can't a few hundred people die for it?
Baahubali.
Baahubali?
Baahubali.
-Baahubali. -Baahubali.
Baahubali!
-Baahubali. -Baahubali.
Hey!
Who is that?
-Baahubali. -Baahubali.
Baahubali.
Hearing everyone chanting his name,
it seems like his statue is being established.
Did they chant his name because he still lives in their hearts?
Or did they see someone?
Impossible!
Why don't we just go and question the soldiers who were in charge?
That way, we can find out the truth
and get to the bottom of this, Grandfather!
Mahasena!
Who said that Baahubali, who was the epitome of righteousness, is no more?
I am alive, but I am dead inside.
Though you are dead, you are still alive in people's hearts.
Who was the first one to chant the name Baahubali?
Why am I not getting an answer?
Someone speak up, or I'll cut your tongues out!
-We don't know, Your Highness. -Shut up.
There were so many of you. Didn't a single person see him?
I saw him, Your Highness.
His eyes…
I've seen those eyes before.
Bhadra, I want him alive.
Hey!
Come on!
Alert them!
-Hey! -Hey!
I've come to rescue you, Mother.
Kattappa!
A murderer has entered the fortress and set the palace on fire.
Go towards the north!
Attack!
Hey! Get up!
You old hag!
After all these years of being punished for your infidelity,
still, you have no shame?
You always try to run off with another man.
Kattappa, he'll kill me. He will kill me!
Prince, my duty is to protect you.
Devasena.
Attack!
They're coming to capture Devasena.
Stop them!
Siva!
Siddha.
Mahasena!
Anila!
Baahubali!
You resurrected our lost hope
and sent him back as an amazing warrior.
The empire of Mahishmati will always be grateful to you.
In my mom's eyes, why is there sympathy instead of affection?
These unknown people look at me as if I am their God.
And why did my eyes get teary when I saw the wounds…
on that mother whom I don't even know?
Why?
Who am I?
You are the son of our God, Amarendra Baahubali.
You are the boon of your mother, Devasena, who waited for 25 years.
And you are the result of our Queen Sivagami's ultimate sacrifice.
The story you need to know began a half century ago, dear.
All of a sudden, one day,
your grandfather died and left his pregnant wife
and the Mahishmati throne became empty.
Bijjaladeva, the king's elder brother, didn't become the king
because he lacked righteous character.
But Bijjaladeva thought
they were biased as he was physically disabled.
He always held a grudge because of this
The king's sister-in-law, Bijjaladeva's wife, Sivagami Devi
took to the task of ruling the kingdom.
Sivagami ruled and protected Mahishmati very efficiently.
But she sensed a rebellion was already afoot.
We couldn't save the queen, my lady.
It's a boy.
Baahubali.
Marthanda and the other kings thought she was just a helpless woman
and tried taking over the kingdom.
But they were all led to their deaths by the wrath of Sivagami Devi's sword.
Her husband wanted their son to be the king.
But she said…
Both of my children have an equal right to the throne.
The most capable one to win the hearts of our people
shall be the king of Mahishmati.
This is my word and my word is the law!
She raised the kids with equal love
without showing any discrimination.
She nurtured them with knowledge and valor.
She shaped them both into great warriors.
Bhallaladeva.
Great, Bhalla!
When I ascend the throne, you shall be my commander.
God has put me in a dilemma by making both my children equally capable.
Now he is testing me with the difficult decision I have to make.
Make their trials more challenging, Minister.
Before she could decide on who should ascend the throne,
the queen faced a new crisis.
Your Highness, Saketa killed the guards
and stole all of our army secrets.
-Send a message to both the princes. -As you say.
I'd rather die than be tortured by both of you!
Bhalla!
Kattappa.
Whom did you sell our secrets to?
Tell me!
Kalakeya!
The Kalakeyas don't strategize.
There's no limit to their brutality.
Once they step into a kingdom,
they will kill all the innocent children.
They will seek out and violate every woman.
And then they will loot and burn down every house.
You can frighten tiny kingdoms with these stories.
We have an army of 25,000. Why should we be scared?
How large is the Kalakeya army?
One lakh.
When wild bulls barge into the crops,
and lands that the Kalakeyas plunder, are both left barren.
We have to protect our kingdom and attack the enemy.
What military strategy should we use to attack?
The Trident Strategy.
It is one for the textbooks. No one has ever used it.
You cannot go into war with such a strategy.
If no one's used it before, Kalakeyas wouldn't know it either.
That is why we should implement it.
I agree to the plan.
And I approve it.
I will build an iron fence with armor and spears.
Let's position the army as a barrier.
I will be in charge of the forces on the north side.
And then I will take responsibility for the south.
During the battle, both Princes
and their cavalry will attack the Chief from two sides.
It will take them at least three hours
by the time they launch a counterattack.
That will be enough, Mother. Victory will be ours.
Half that time will be enough to behead him.
Great!
This will also solve the problem of who should be our next king.
The one who kills the Kalakeya Chief
will ascend the throne of Mahishmati.
My Lord has the perfect solution.
-Yes! -Yes!
Now divide the army and distribute it equally between the Princes.
Bhalla and Baahu, this is your chance to pay tribute to your motherland.
Make sure you use it well.
-Hail Mahishmati! -Hail Mahishmati!
Your uncle has treated you unfairly, Baahu.
He has only given you enough tools to barely crack open a wall.
What use will those weapons be in an open battlefield?
Bhallaladeva got all of the chariots and the arrow machines.
You should've objected, Baahu.
This will certainly guarantee the throne for your son, Lord.
-It was a brilliant trick-- -What trick?
If Baahubali cannot stand up and demand
the right army and the right weaponry,
then what will he do on the battlefield tomorrow?
I simply made the strong one even stronger.
It is not cheating, it is statecraft.
Hey, who's there?
Forgive me, my Lord.
The younger Prince asked us to bring him all the tents.
What?
Welcome, Bhallaladeva!
Welcome!
So shall my enemy bleed!
-So shall the enemy bleed! -So shall the enemy bleed!
Welcome, Baahubali!
-Baahubali! -Baahubali!
Baahu, it is a time-honored ritual.
If you don't sacrifice the animal, the soldiers will read it as a bad omen.
Yes, my Prince.
If you don't offer the sacrifice, the Goddess will be angry.
Why does the Goddess need the blood of this innocent animal?
When I can offer her my own blood, raging with the fury of war!
Hail Mahishmati!
-Hail Mahishmati! -Hail Mahishmati!
Mahishmati is willing to forgive.
This is your last chance.
Drop your weapons and leave.
I heard you promised both your sons that
the one who kills me will be made the king.
And if both of them die at my hands?
I will conquer you and your kingdom
and then I will have a son with you.
You can make him the king!
I want him alive.
When the vultures pluck out his eyes and feast on his guts…
he should stay alive.
-Kattappa! -My lady.
Blow the conch of war!
-It's done! -Let's go!
Release!
We are ready, Baahubali.
Bring them down!
Warriors, align!
Shoot now!
-Pull it now! -Pull it now!
-Great, Baahubali! -Well done!
Trident strategy shall now begin!
Bhallaladeva!
My Prince!
-Prince. -Soldiers!
Here they come! Hurry! Hold them off!
Go! Go! Help them!
Go! Go! Hold them!
Our protective shield has collapsed.
For the first time in Mahishmati's history,
the enemy flag flutters on our soil.
Death! This is death.
Death!
-Death! -Death!
Death!
Soldiers!
What is death?
When you think the enemy is stronger than you, that is death.
Cowardice on the battlefield is death.
The cruel man insulted our mother and yet he is still alive.
Instead of presenting his decapitated head at her feet,
we are turning our backs to him, and that is death!
I am going forward to confront that death.
I will ride on to prove that
no wretch would dare touch my mother or my land,
and proclaim it with pride.
Who is ready to go with me?
Me!
Who will die with me?
I will!
And which of you will conquer death and become immortal with me?
Me!
Hail Mahishmati!
Sethupathy!
Vultures should pluck out his eyes and feast on his guts.
His arms and legs shall be severed and his blood shall flow in streams.
-Yes! -That's my son!
-Hail Bhallaladeva! -Hail Bhallaladeva!
My son!
My brave son killed Kalakeya
and won the battle!
Our future king is Bhallaladeva!
-Hail Bhallaladeva! -Hail Bhallaladeva!
Bhallaladeva's bravery in the battle will be a new chapter in our history.
Install stone inscriptions and monuments
to make tales of his valor widely known.
I proclaim Bhallaladeva
as the new commander of the armed forces of Mahishmati.
I declare Baahubali as your future king of Mahishmati.
Hey, Sivagami! What sort of a decision is this?
My son has killed the Kalakeya Chief.
Our son has killed him.
You saw it with your own eyes.
He has to be the King! Only him!
The merits of a king are evaluated
not by the number of enemies he has killed.
But by the number of his own people he has saved.
Bhallaladeva was fixated solely on killing the enemy.
Baahubali also vanquished countless adversaries
while saving thousands of his people.
And that is the difference between a soldier and a king.
When you kill a hundred men, you're called a great warrior.
But when you save even one life, you are hailed as a God.
So, saving a couple of common men is now the qualification to rule?
Baahubali will be crowned the king of Mahishmati at an auspicious hour.
Now, that is my word, and my word is the law!
-Baahubali! Baahubali! -Baahubali! Baahubali!
Amarendra Baahubali!
Victory to you!
Amarendra Baahubali!
Victory to you!
My Siva is the son of such a great king!
We are enthralled to even hear his story.
Is there any possible way you could introduce us to him?
He is no more.
The savior is no more!
You said no enemy could go near him.
You said even weapons were afraid to touch him.
So how could such a great warrior die?
More severe than the wound from a sword or a spear
is a stab in the back, Mahendra.
Who, Grandfather?
Who was it?
That traitor…
It was me!
-Queen Mother Sivagami Devi! -Victory to her!
-Kattappa. -Yes, Queen Mother.
Lead everyone to a safe place.
How can I leave you halfway?
Do as I say, Kattappa.
Your wish is my command.
Soldiers, rush everyone to safety.
As you wish!
Lord Rudra with trident in hand

Baahubali!
Queen Mother Sivagami!
Hail Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother…
Sivagami!"
Bhalla!
Have you ever…
wanted to kill your mother?
I wanted to do that.
The moment she gave him your place
in her life right at his birth
was the first time I wanted to kill her.
The division of jewels…
Now that the throne is being bequeathed to him…
it makes me want to strangle her with these very hands!
Tell me, Bhalla.
Should we eliminate her?
You're speaking in a drunken stupor, Father.
Your mother's guard dog is coming.
Hey! Bloody dog!
My Lord?
What did you come here to bark about?
Queen Sivagami has decided to crown Baahubali
as the king on the tenth day of "Dussehra".
Queen Mother wanted you to know this first.
History repeats itself!
The throne meant for me
was given on a golden platter to my younger brother!
Today, you are bequeathing the throne meant for my son
to my brother's son!
Should my son, grandson, great-grandson
also toil for generations?
Answer me, you dog!
Why was I not crowned as king then?
Yes?
Was it because I am disabled?
So what if one hand is incapacitated?
Is my one iron fist not enough to rule the kingdom?
Kingship was not denied because of your hand's disability, My Lord.
It was because of your dysfunctional mind.
Command me, My Lord.
You filthy dog!
Did you forget that insulting the king could cost you your tongue?
Forgive me, My Lord.
You long to kill your beloved wife.
What else can it be if not devious, My Lord?
-Did you hear me? -No, My Lord.
Since I am a dog, I could smell it!
Mother, did you send for me?
Yes, Baahu. You must take a tour of our entire kingdom.
Only when the future king steps outside the palace walls
he can understand the trials of his people.
Yes, Mother.
-Let Kattappa accompany you. -As you wish.
Why have this old man escort me, Mother?
He will repeat the stories he used to tell me in childhood and torment me.
Bear with it for once.
By the time you return,
I will find you a princess to tell you enchanting tales.
I brought these trained elephants
especially for your entertainment and play.
On the banks of the Pranahita River,
I am building this spring palace for you.
Do you like it, Bhalla?
I had this bow crafted so it can hit a target from 50 meters.
Mother…
is this your way of compensating me after giving the throne to my brother?
I'm not so petty as to lament over not being crowned king.
Queen Mother Sivagami Devi's command shall be obeyed.
Don't degrade that with these gifts.
How are you, sir?
-Eat this, it's tasty. -Thank you, dear.
Come on.
Sir, you are…
Good Lord! He is acting like someone great.
She wields the sword so well.
Who could she be?
By the way, our hero seems to be missing in action.
-Oh! -Hey, hey!
-My Lord! -Two of you, go that way.
-Two of you, this way. -Yes, My Lord.
And ten will stay here with me. Yes!
-Madhava. -Your Highness.
Trace their hideout.
-We must retrieve the stolen goods. -Yes, Your Highness.
Arrest all of them!
No one should escape.
Tighten that knot!
-Greetings, Your Highness! -Greetings, Your Highness!
You are a godsend. You rescued us at the right time.
-May you always be blessed. -You saved us.
You all are as tall as trees.
Don't you feel ashamed hiding behind women?
Forgive me, Your Highness.
My nephew is a dumbhead.
As he wasn't skilled at any job,
-his family was forced to throw him out. -What?
-His own family threw him out? -Yes, Your Highness.
You are compassionate. If you could kindly teach him a skill,
I would be forever grateful.
Alright. He's tall and seems like a man of strength.
If he's trained with a sword, he could at least become a guard.
I will teach him that.
Praise be! All glory to you!
Oh! Look there.
Listen.
Full moon night is approaching.
We must prepare for the prayer meeting for Lord Krishna.
Your Highness, in our entire kingdom, no one can beat you in archery.
-Is that not good enough for you? -Not enough, Prime Minister.
It is not possible to aim at targets with two arrows and a bow, Your Grace.
Prime Minister, anything is possible for my sister.
-Try again, Devasena. -Yes.
Move aside.
Instead of arranging for her marriage,
you opt to shape her into a warrior and live like a man!
Absolutely right, Your Majesty.
Will you accept a match soon, or
do we get you married to your brother-in-law?
Hey, idiot, come, I'll show you our weapons.
This is a mace.
You cannot lift it.
This is a spear.
You cannot throw it.
This is a sword.
Come, I will teach you how to use it. Come on.
What can you do?
Quite a lot, My Lord.
Games like "Gilli-Danda", Hide and seek,
"Tree Monkey", and then…
What about hopscotch?
I have watched from afar, but the girls didn't include me, My Lord.
I will teach you how to hold a sword. Watch and learn.
-This is how. -Oh my! Yes.
-Lift it high this way. -Yes.
Then one swift blow.
Try your hand.
Look how he's holding the sword, Your Highness.
You do not know, my dear boy.
Idiot! Let me show you again.
Hold it like this.
Lift it all the way.
Now like this…
What?
-What a blow, My Lord! -Did I?
Of course, you did. Who else, My Lord?
Yes, it's me.
Struck like a thunderbolt.
Oh, wow! Fantastic!
Elephant's might, tiger's physique,
cheetah's speed, and vulture's vision.
I see the entire jungle within you, My Lord.
My Lord?
-I really like you. -Grateful.
I will teach you how to use a sword as well.
What? Me?
Look there!
Boar.
-Why do you fall on me? -You killed it.
Blue arrow.
It is Kumara Varma's.
Kumara Varma killed the wild boar!
Wow! You killed it.
-Long live Kumara Varma! -Long live Kumara Varma!
Kumara Varma's bravery is unmatched!
Single-handedly, he killed a herd of boars.
Boar Slayer Kumara Varma!
Boar slayer--
-Stop flattering me. -Yes, My Lord.
Devasena, we must preserve these arrows in the royal museum.
It will keep the future generations motivated.
Wow!
I was suspicious of you from the start.
Your acting skills.
And his extra meekness.
-Me? -It didn't seem that way to me.
What did you say your name was?
Caught her.
This hand is adept at wielding a sword.
I know a warrior's hand.
Uncle, she is saying something.
What are you saying, Your Highness?
He is a simpleton.
Let's find out.
Bring the bull.
What is this, Your Grace?
A man who cannot even lift a twig to brush his teeth
how can he use such a huge spear?
What are you trying to prove?
A bull!
On one side is the bull,
and on the other, there's this fool! The child will perish, Your Highness.
Oh! Good heavens! My nephew has been killed.
What injustice has been done to a boy yet to experience youth!
Oh my…
Is your hand broken?
It is over. He's done for.
Who will marry him now?
-Who will hold him in her heart? -But, I--
-Which queen has such a big heart? -Stop it.
Bring the chariot.
What do I do, Lord Shiva?
The angel who promised to help has broken his arm.
-Lord Shiva! -Can you get up and sit?
Imbecile! Can you not hear him?
Get up…
Adjust the pillow.
Baahubali and Kattappa are in the Kuntala kingdom now.
Our prince seems to have fallen in love
with the princess of that country, Devasena.
This is her portrait.
He claims the throne and also wins the hand of a beauty!
Devasena should belong only to me, Father.
How is it possible?
It will be possible if Mother gives her word.
How can she promise you'll marry the woman your brother loves?
Because she is still unaware that my brother loves her.
So I intend to make the first move.
Who is she?
So breathtakingly beautiful that even beauty itself grows envious of her!
She is the Princess of the Kuntala kingdom.
Her name is Devasena.
Ever since the Prince gazed upon the artist's painting of her,
his heart was stirred with a deep longing for her.
Do you like this princess, Bhalla?
Yes, Mother.
I want her in my life.
What is this, Prince?
You ask as if she were a toy. How is it possible?
Why not?
He gave up the throne to this kingdom without a second thought.
Such is the virtue of my son.
How can I call myself his mother
if I can't even fulfill this one wish of his?
Bhalla!
Devasena will be your wife.
I give you my word.
"With blessings for King Jayasena of the Kuntala kingdom,
Queen of Mahishmati, Sivagami Devi writes herewith.
For my son, godly in looks, divine in nature,
the bravest of the brave,
I have chosen your younger sister, Devasena, as his life partner.
Send your sister, Devasena, as my daughter-in-law to our kingdom."
By the time you return,
I will find you a princess
to tell you enchanting tales.
You have chosen the same girl Baahubali is in love with.
Wow!
"Yours truly, Queen Mother Sivagami Devi."
Many powerful empires
are eager to form an alliance with the Mahishmati kingdom, Your Majesty.
But Queen Mother's compassionate gaze is caught upon your territory.
Princess is indeed fortunate.
Is it just you and your Queen Mother?
Or is everyone in your kingdom like this?
For gifts of this nature, you may wag your tail.
But this is like dust under my feet.
-Devasena! -Minister!
If your prince had even an ounce of this arrogance,
I would have been glad that he is at least a man!
With such good-for-nothing people,
even the dogs of our kingdom will refuse to marry!
-Devasena! -Bravo, Your Highness!
Your Majesty, please explain it to her.
It is her decision, Prime Minister.
You send a befitting reply, Devasena.
Write this down.
"To Sivagami Devi, Queen of the Mahishmati kingdom.
I, Princess Devasena of the Kuntala kingdom…"
"Write this with utmost humility.
Without informing me of your son's appearance and character,
you sent me these gifts and expected me to think highly of him.
I realize he is a spineless warrior who hides behind a woman.
Along with the ornaments sent by you,
I am sending you my sword.
Make your son wear that gold
and ensure he weds my sword.
Send him to me as my son-in-law.
I will take good care of him.
Yours sincerely, Devasena."
-Prime minister! -Queen Mother!
Ask our army commander to prepare for war against the Kuntala kingdom.
Sivagami!
Why use an army against such a small kingdom?
I heard Baahubali is somewhere close to that kingdom.
If you send him a word, he will destroy that kingdom
and bring Devasena to us.
I offered her a wedding.
But she provoked me into a battle.
Ask Baahubali to bring Devasena as a captive to Mahishmati.
Send word to him as my command.
As you order, My Queen.
Baahu, a piece of good news and a piece of bad news as well.
-Which do I tell you first? -Tell me both.
I will decide what is good or bad.
Queen Mother has sent word asking Devasena to marry you.
She knows what I want.
However, the princess
has rejected the proposal angrily and sent her a rude reply.
This is also good news.
How is it good?
Since she loves me, she must have rejected the other me.
Oh!
Uncle!
Weapon!
You imbecile!
You always sneak around like a cat. What makes you so bold today?
-Where are you going? -To the Princess's chamber.
What guts!
You want to meet Devasena at this time of the night?
Why?
Your kingdom is in peril, Kumara Varma.
-Listen to me. -How dare you call me by name!
I can't explain now. Move aside.
You think you can push me aside?
What are you looking at, Kumara Varma? They are Pindaris.
Sound the alarm.
Look! Siva.
Move aside.
-We're under attack. -Kumara Varma.
Time gives every coward a chance to become a brave warrior.
This is that moment.
God is he who creates life.
A doctor saves lives.
A warrior who protects life… is a true Kshatriya!
I…
Your Highness, not two but four.
Turn the wrist facing outward.
Release.
Stop! Who are you?
Now is not the time to explain, Your Highness.
Please come.
But we are all mere cowherds, sir. How can we fight?
If you fight intelligently, even a blade of grass can be an arrow!
Your army lacks adequate strength.
Your kingdom needs every helping hand.
-Are you ready? -Yes, we are ready, sir.
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
Protector of the seas and land
Go up there!
I didn't recognize you.
I said things I shouldn't have.
I kicked you on your chest.
Only when you struck me did I realize the power you possess.
This is not blood, my friend.
It is the mark of victory, proof that you are a true warrior, not a coward.
You saved us like a god from this unexpected terror.
Who are you?
-Where are you from? -What does it matter who he is?
We came here hoping you could help us.
How can we be of help to this brave warrior?
Actually, he is in love with a girl from your kingdom.
What?
Who is that lucky maiden?
Actually…
it's your princess.
What more joy can one ask for?
What is the message, warrior?
The message is from…
What is it?
Queen Sivagami has ordered me to bring you to our land as a captive.
Treachery!
You have misunderstood me.
Just a while ago, we hailed you as a godsend and our savior.
And now, you want to take me as your prisoner.
Who are you?
Even a sweet can taste bitter when you are angry, Your Highness!
Just answer my question. Who are you?
After your anger subsides, I will…
He is the destined heir to the throne of Mahishmati!
Queen Sivagami Devi's beloved son!
The fearless warrior who defeated the invincible Kalakeyas!
Amarendra Baahubali!
A simple embrace among family is enough,
no need for formalities, Your Majesty.
Is he the suitor the Queen had in mind for Devasena?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Queen is unaware that Baahubali loves your sister.
She has summoned you in fury because you rejected her son.
My mother never makes a mistake, Devasena.
There is always a deeper meaning behind everything she does.
This is simply an error caused by confusion, not contempt.
Come as my prisoner.
You are the brave warrior who won my heart.
If you call me as your attendant,
I will gladly serve you till the jaws of death.
Robbing me of my dignity and summoning me…
as a captive is impossible.
From this instant till death do us part,
I am truly yours, Devasena.
I swear by the principles my mother has instilled in me.
I will not let your chastity and respect be compromised in any way.
Give me your hand.
Are you alright, Your Highness?
Your focus seems to be…
somewhere else.
O king, the mightiest Among the mighty
Don't go away from my eyes
I am yours
Then why delay?
Take me to the place that is yours
Join your hand with mine
Let both of us be together, dear
Devasena is all yours
These arms of yours
Let me live and die within them
For all my life
I too cannot live
I cannot live after forgetting you
One heart met another
Each wave whispered this Listen for a moment
I have heard it
The sky itself is singing a song
Your love is like a dream
May this dream never break, my dear
Your captive is Devasena
O king, the mightiest Among the mighty
Don't go away from my eyes
I am yours
Then why delay?
Take me to the place that is yours
Join your hand with mine
Let both of us be together, dear
Devasena is all yours
Don't worry, Your Highness.
Queen Mother will take care of you as her own daughter.
Mahishmati.
Attention!
I ridiculed your decision and insulted you.
I replied arrogantly and hurt you.
Can you forgive my arrogance, Queen Mother?
For my daughter-in-law, a touch of boldness is quite attractive.
Come and stand next to your future husband, Devasena.
Let the people of Mahishmati decide whether my choice is good or not.
Devasena!
What are you doing?
Isn't this what you asked for?
I chose you as a bride for Bhallaladeva.
What are you saying, Queen Mother?
The man I fell in love with and
who you wanted me to marry is Baahubali.
What's going on?
Please forgive me, Queen Mother. It's my mistake.
The son you had referred to in your royal message…
I ended up thinking it was for Baahubali by mistake.
-I am responsible for this. -Kattappa!
No point in dissecting the past.
-We need to focus only on our future. -Queen Mother!
Baahu…
I have given my word to Bhallaladeva that he will marry Devasena.
Stop it.
Who are you to give your word for my marriage without my consent?
Do you not know that a princess has the right to choose her husband?
Don't you have that much sense?
How did you have the nerve to speak to me in that tone?
Dandanayaka!
Tie up this arrogant girl and make her kneel.
As you command, Queen Mother.
To lay a hand on Devasena is to challenge Baahubali's sword.
Mother.
I promised Devasena that I would protect her dignity.
My Lord, are you going against our Queen?
Lord Shiva might make a mistake,
but not your mother… is something you always say.
For a word given in good faith. For upholding the justice.
To protect the code of Dharma, oppose whoever the offender is.
Never be afraid, even if it is God himself.
That is the Law of Dharma.
That's the virtue of the Kshatriya clan.
Promising your son blindly
without knowing a woman's heart is wrong.
You made a mistake, Mother.
How dare you speak against Sivagami's judgment?
Did you see that, Sivagami?
Your sacrifice has been called a misdeed by him.
Are you saying that you cannot break your promise?
So you mean to say it's acceptable if your mother breaks her promise?
Don't your mother and her promise hold any weight or honor?
Let it be.
I see that our words are falling on deaf ears.
I understand now.
Amarendra Baahubali! You have two choices laid before you.
Do you want to rule as the king of Mahishmati,
which is a heaven on Earth?
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, Mother.
I won't break my promise.
All right.
On the tenth day of "Dussehra," which is highly auspicious…
Bhallaladeva will ascend the throne of Mahishmati.
Under the supervision of Commander Baahubali,
the coronation ceremony will be performed.
Queen Mother, kindly reconsider.
My word is final.
And it is the law.
To the East are the Udayagiri mountains.
To the West are Malava water shores.
In the North, with Kuntala and other vassal kingdoms.
Vast, extensive Katkari, Surani, and Kalakeya forests in the South.
Heir to defend these boundaries of the glorious Mahishmati kingdom.
The grand coronation of the Shri Shri Bhallaladeva commences.
May Mahishmati always be indestructible
Through passage of time indisputable May all its endeavors be victorious
Until the sun, moon, stars
Shine gloriously
May the everlasting Mahishmati remain eternal.
Salutations to the king.
Impenetrable, fortified in every form Formidable even to enemies fearsome…
To receive His Majesty, the elephant pays tribute.
Fencers.
Lancers.
Consecration by the infantry with weapons.
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
Printing the glory of Mahishmati true
Under the guidance of Karikala Kattappa
the elite troop salutes the king.
Pay obeisance.
I, Bhallaladeva, son of Bijjaladeva and Sivagami Devi,
take the noble responsibility of ruling this vast empire, Mahishmati.
I hereby promise to fend and defend my kingdom with Lord Shiva as witness.
All Hail King Bhallaladeva.
Long live the king!
Hail Emperor Bhallaladeva.
Long live the king!
All Hail the King Bhallaladeva.
Long live the king!
I, Amarendra Baahubali…
We want Baahubali.
I, Amarendra Baahubali.
I will protect the people of Mahishmati and their health,
-wealth, mortality, and dignity. -This isn't fair.
As the Chief Commander of King Bhallaladeva's armed forces,
I promise to be cautious every passing minute.
While fulfilling my duty, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life.
I swear this oath of allegiance in the presence
of Queen Mother Sivagami Devi.
All Hail Baahubali.
Mahishmati.
Since my childhood, I have consistently yearned to have you.
I've dreamt of carrying you on my head all my life.
After all these years.
After all these conspiracies.
Although within my grasp, I am unable to own you. Why do you evade me?
When I held you in the highest regard, with honor and pride,
why did you choose Baahubali?
Bhalla.
Aren't you the king now?
Call for Baahubali's execution.
No one can oppose you.
Close his chapter.
I only have the authority to command.
But the Queen Mother still has the power to execute him.
I must change that.
Change Sivagami?
The Sun cannot rise in the West, Bhalla.
The Sun may never rise in the West, but I shall make it set in the East.
I am the cause of 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.
She is to welcome her baby
She will have an adorable baby
She is to welcome her baby
Kattappa.
Your Highness.
Didn't you bring me a present?
I am not even privileged enough to give you my blessings.
I am a servant. What can I offer you?
If I ask you for something you can do, will you comply?
My pleasure.
According to our custom, after the baby's umbilical cord is cut,
the baby should first be held by his grandfather before his mother.
For a long life of the baby.
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 have elevated me to your father's place.
I will not just hold your baby,
I'll always take care of him.
Queen Mother Sivagami Devi is arriving.
Mother.
You are bearing the heir of the Mahishmati kingdom.
Take all precautions.
You lost the privilege to address her as mother long ago.
Her graceful presence here is only to perform her duty as Queen Mother.
Hail, King Bhallaladeva, King of Mahishmati, arrives.
Attention.
I will give you a special gift that you can't even imagine, Devasena.
What is that, Your Majesty?
A pregnant woman only longs for her husband's company
rather than precious ornaments.
Baahu.
While taking care of the kingdom, you neglect Devasena.
Therefore, I am relieving you of your duty
and transferring it to Sethupathy.
-As you wish, Your Majesty. -Baa--
Baahu.
With such madness happening right before you,
will you sit there unmoved like a statue, Queen Mother?
Devasena.
You don't seem to understand our customs yet.
The authority to decide who is conferred which designation
solely lies with the king alone.
Lame excuses.
Queen Mother.
A good person's silence can shatter
a kingdom more than a villain's violence.
Are you unaware of that?
When a title of such honor is taken from a valiant warrior
and given to such an undeserving man.
-How can you remain silent? -Devasena.
All our guests came with gifts for me.
Except for you. Will you give me what I ask for?
You must ascend Mahishmati's throne.
That is my only wish.
Not just mine. People of our kingdom wish the same.
It is said that a Kshatriya's duty is to fulfill people's wishes.
Then do so.
Mother.
-Greetings, Devasena. -Greetings, Devasena.
It is time for the king's arrival.
Regardless of who it is, they must enter through the side doors.
After you, Your Highness.
It is alright. Go ahead.
Move.
Move fast.
So many behind you to follow.
Everyone must come forward.
Come.
You are next.
Soldiers, capture her.
There has been an accusation against Devasena, the wife of Baahubali
that she cut the fingers of the Commander, Sethupathy.
As per the order of the Queen Mother Sivagami Devi
the verdict is about to be given
in the presence of King Bhallaladeva.
Let the inquiry begin.
Is there anything you wish to confess, Devasena?
You have already handcuffed me without a fair trial…
and declared me guilty of the crime.
Is this even fair?
You are guilty until proven innocent.
This is the law of Mahishmati.
Even barbarians would not craft legislation of this nature.
Such a law should be cancelled.
Your ethics and law are just meaningless.
It's ironic that this disorderly kingdom
bears the title of Mahishmati.
What a shame!
Devasena.
If you utter one more word against our great, renowned kingdom…
Fame is never measured by gigantic forts
and golden statues, Queen Mother.
It is only earned through compassion.
It's a disgrace that not a single person here has it.
Can you see for yourself how she dares to speak, Your Majesty?
Imagine how low she would have stooped in your absence.
Think about it, King.
-Baahubali. -Baahubali is here.
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
Protector of the seas and land
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
Tell me what exactly happened, Sethupathy.
The temple was filled with devotees, Your Majesty.
Devasena also arrived at the same time.
Your Majesty was about to--
You were about to come, so I asked her
to enter through the side entrance.
Baahu, what is this behavior?
You're intimidating the victim.
The truth will not be disclosed if asked politely, Your Majesty.
You are crossing your limit, Baahubali.
The limit was already crossed
when you all put a pregnant woman in the witness box, Mother.
Be it a pregnant woman or an old woman,
you or me, the rules are the same.
Do you know what happened?
What happened, Devasena?
He asked the women to form a separate line to enter the temple.
Then he groped them with the excuse of sending them inside.
-He was going to grope me as well. -She is lying.
So I chopped his fingers.
You made a mistake, Devasena.
The man who touches a woman inappropriately
shouldn't have his fingers cut.
He should be beheaded.
Our Mahishmati kingdom is indestructible
Through passage of time indisputable May all its endeavors be victorious
Until the sun, moon, stars
Shine gloriously
Baahubali! How dare you show such audacity in my court?
Sethupathy was guilty, hence he panicked.
Because Devasena spoke the truth, she stood absolutely fearless.
Sethupathy was declared guilty and was beheaded as punishment.
Baahubali!
As you claimed, Sethupathy might be guilty.
Who do you think should interrogate and pass the verdict?
You or the king?
Or do you consider yourself the king?
During the baby shower, your wife wanted you to be crowned the king.
Did you commit such a spiteful act just to fulfill her deepest wish?
Mother?
Ignoring my repeated warnings, your wife maligned Mahishmati's reign.
She disdained our scriptures, which serve as our governing law.
What she uttered, you have proven with your sword.
Both your actions are equivalent to royal treachery!
-Prime Minister. -Queen Mother.
What punishment should be imposed upon them?
If any member of the royal family violates Mahishmati's laws,
they should be banished from the palace, Queen Mother.
The same shall happen.
I hereby order both of you, at this instant,
to leave our royal palace immediately, wearing only the clothes you have on.
I have sworn to uphold the law,
but I also remember the dharma you once taught me.
Caught between these principles is the sword you entrusted to me.
It guided me on the path of righteousness.
No matter if I'm banished,
I will always be ready to serve and protect Mahishmati when you summon me.
Does the sun ever part from the sky?
I'll take your leave, Mother.
Does a lamp ever burn without a wick?
Does the sun ever part from the sky?
Does a lamp ever burn without a wick?
How unbelievable it is Every eye has become teary
You have left, how will I live
You are the shore and the support
You are the entire world, our sun and star
Victory to you
Lord, be with us
Hey. Stop crying.
God is leaving the temple and stepping out to live with us.
Now is the time to celebrate.
Wherever your feet touch That earth becomes heaven
Your love is truly magical and mysterious
You are the strength of the weak…
As long as he is alive, he will always be considered the king.
Those who are under your shelter Have nothing to fear
There is prosperity in every grain
And every branch is laden with fruits
How are you able to sleep?
He is provoking the public by saying
they don't need a king because they have him.
He is scheming something.
I am scared.
The raindrops that fall On the grass from the sky
You are like that rain to us
Victory to you
Lord, be with us
Victory to you
Lord, be with us
Bhalla, what are you doing at this hour of the night here?
Why is he here?
Forgive us, Your Majesty. He escaped today.
-Get me his head by tomorrow, or else… -Whose head?
I will behead you.
-Go. -Bhalla.
-Lord. -Bhalla, whose head?
Who else? Baahubali, of course.
Are you out of your mind? How can you stoop to the level of killing him?
Hey!
-I'll kill his wife and the baby as well. -Bhalla.
If you try to stop me, I will forget that you're my father.
I overheard.
I know my son very well.
Once he makes up his mind, he will definitely achieve it.
-We must inform Baahubali at once. -Will he believe us?
Baahubali is very innocent.
His heart won't let him believe his brother could stoop so low.
I can see only one way out.
Please tell me.
Bhallaladeva…
should be assassinated.
Prince Varma.
Time gives every coward a chance to become a brave warrior.
This is that moment.
Don't you understand, Prince Varma?
This is a yagna.
A great yagna to make Sivagami take the life of Baahubali.
Look, Sivagami.
Prince Varma and his men killed all our bodyguards.
They slit King Bhallaladeva's face.
Given all that, we can't afford to lose any time.
Baahubali must be killed.
Why are you still thinking, Sivagami?
Perform your duty as the Queen Mother.
Do not fall prey to your sentiments.
Bhallaladeva is not only your son but also the ruler of this kingdom.
Whoever tries to kill the king must be sentenced to death.
If Baahubali is sentenced to death,
our people will revolt.
Our court will split.
An internal feud is not good for the kingdom.
So, you intend to forgive him even after all this?
Baahubali's death is certain.
But his blood stains should not smear the hands of our king.
History should not defame him for murdering his brother.
Then…
what is your plan?
Kattappa.
Your ancestors have pledged their allegiance to the royal throne.
They have promised to obey every command by the king.
Do you adhere to that oath?
No doubt indeed. Your wish is my command.
Kill Baahubali.
What do you mean?
Why, Your Majesty?
It does not concern you.
Queen Mother?
Queen Mother.
Is this happening with your consent?
I beg of you, Queen Mother.
Ask the king to take back his command.
Integrity may be compromised at times, but Baahubali is not one to falter.
He is the very son you nurtured with your own milk.
The ideology you taught him
-runs in his blood, Queen Mother. -Baahubali has to die.
I cannot do it. Not possible.
As a punishment for my disobedience, please sever my head.
Will you kill him?
Or shall I finish this task?
No, Queen Mother.
Your hands should not be stained by this sin.
I will execute him.
I will kill him.
Can we trust this dog, Bhalla?
Our prince is very anxious. Everything will be fine.
Kattappa is being punished for royal treason.
Did you see him?
Yes.
Hey. What are you saying?
Careful.
Devasena, Uncle seems to be in danger.
I must go.
He promised to carry our baby.
Keep him safe.
-Baahubali. -Baahubali.
-Run.
Who was it, Uncle?
Baahu?
Baahu.
Attack.
Leave me, Baahu.
Listen to me.
The life of this slave is no more precious than yours.
Leave me and go.
Go, Baahu.
Leave me here, Baahu.
For my sake…
Please listen to me.
Let me die, Baahu.
Even I want to abandon you, my dear old man.
But you promised my wife to hold my baby first.
I promised my wife that I would bring you back safe…
and sound.
Uncle…
keep quiet for a while,
and let me continue with my work.
Oh, God. How do I make you understand?
I beg of you.
Leave.
Leave me and go.
Please leave.
Are you scared that something will happen to me?
As long as you are by my side, no man's been born to kill me, Uncle.
Uncle.
Uncle…
It was the royal command to kill you.
The King ordered this.
Baahu…
Baahu, forgive me.
Take care of my mother.
Long live Mahishmati.
What happened to Baahubali?
Blood of Baahubali.
Can we cleanse ourselves of this sin in our lifetime, Queen Mother?
Kattappa!
You did wrong, Sivagami!
A grave mistake.
You lost your temper with Baahubali too quickly,
failing to recognize the conspiracy your own son had set in motion.
"Amarendra Baahubali!
I, Amarendra Baahubali.
I will protect the people of Mahishmati
and their health, wealth,
mortality, and dignity.
I swear this oath of allegiance in the presence
of Queen Mother Sivagami Devi."
Queen Mother?
Foolish mother!
I deceived her into thinking you planned to kill me
and made her order your death sentence.
When he breathed his last, he did not think of his wife or unborn child.
Do you know what he said?
"Take care of my mother."
My child, my very own
I am your mother, my beloved son
I will protect you eternally
Baahubali
Uncle Kattappa will be
With you wherever you go
Your Brother Bhalla
Will always be with you
Enjoying the warmth of mother's lap here
Sleep soundly, my little prince dear
Now you dream peacefully
Baahubali
You entrusted me to be the first to hold your baby with these hands.
But those same hands have now taken
your husband's life, leaving you a widow.
Strangle that infant's little throat, Sivagami.
Or else that baby's cry will soon
rebel as a voice of inquiry against you.
Ask you for an explanation.
Roar in uproar.
Only with the death of this newborn,
all enemies of Mahishmati will be annihilated.
Kill him.
Realizing the virtues of Baahubali, you have risen above the infinite sky.
Killing the son whom I raised…
I have fallen at your feet in disgrace.
Besides joining him to wash his feet with my tears of remorse,
what other way can I atone?
What else can I do?
Queen Mother Sivagami, where is our Baahubali?
Mother.
Not knowing for certain if Baahubali is dead or not,
the people are clamoring for an official declaration.
They'll believe only if you announce.
Go and announce.
Let me deal with this baby.
Queen Mother Sivagami, where is our Baahubali?
Amarendra Baahubali is no more.
Now your new king is…
Mahendra Baahubali!
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
-Mahendra Baahubali! -Long live!
-Long live!
Kattappa, call for an urgent meeting with the Council of Ministers.
The guilty should be hanged publicly until death.
So be it, Queen Mother.
Believing he had sinned,
you executed Baahubali, who was your dearest.
Me being a cruel beast,
how can I think that you will forgive me, Mother?
Won't I take precautions?
Guards!
Kill Sivagami and the baby in her hands.
Come with me, Queen Mother.
Devasena.
-Get up, dear! Listen to me. -Mother-in-law…
Saving my son…
is equal to giving my husband back to me.
Mahendra, you must come back here.
I will be waiting for you.
Mahishmati will be waiting for you.
You will come back, right?
Your Majesty, she has escaped.
Gaining full authority as the sole ruler of Mahishmati…
Bhallaladeva's atrocities knew no bounds.
Due to his murderous rage over Devasena,
he reduced the Kuntala Kingdom to ashes.
In this world, for you to love or hate,
only I remain, Devasena.
Everyone thought you were gone with the wind.
But your grandmother sacrificed her life to keep you alive.
Your mother.
Your kingdom.
Waited for 25 long years.
Only for you, Mahendra.
Send word to our kingdom, Grandfather!
Ask the young, old, brave, and everyone to assemble before me!
Tell them to bring any weapon they can find.
Sword, saber, stick, spear, scythe, or sickle.
To eradicate the disease defiling this kingdom
Queen Mother Sivagami's grandson and Amarendra Baahubali's heir
Mahendra Baahubali has returned.
This golden statue, the throne of Mahishmati.
Crown over my head and to rule as sole sovereign.
All along, I assumed only this gave me happiness.
But I was wrong.
These iron shackles are the source of all my joy.
These very shackles that give Devasena…
the pain of hell on earth.
When I see that she is not enslaved any longer,
the veins in my skull are erupting to explode, Father.
I want Devasena.
Kattappa is orchestrating a coup, rallying villagers, Your Majesty.
Kattappa?
Why would this slave dog Kattappa revolt now?
Bhalla, what happened?
Every single head that stood with him should be beheaded.
Bhadra, I will perform your last rites by placing your head
on the countless chopped heads of others.
With the anguished cries of 10,000 families
echoing as an auspicious tune.
I will bid you farewell to the good heavens.
Death to my enemy!
Charge!
Attack!
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
Protector of the seas and land
Lord Rudra with trident in hand
Attack!
He was in your womb, after all, for only nine months.
On the other hand, you have been with me for 25 years.
When he came back today, how could you leave me and go to him, Devasena?
Dharani, earth for sustenance
Janani, divine mother of benevolence
Avani, basis of existence
Lift the drawbridge.
Release your arrows.
Wait, Mahendra.
The thought of my mother being his captive makes me burn with anger.
I do not care if I die. Do not stop me.
Was your mother's penance for 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. Pull it harder.
Release!
Attack!
Half the army of Bhallaladeva must be inside the fort, Mahendra.
We must find a way for our troops to enter.
I want a hammer, Grandfather.
Light the fire, Avanthika.
Bring the stick, grandfather.
Get started, Mother.
Before you circumambulate Lord Shiva thrice,
I will cast him onto this very pyre to burn him alive.
Go ahead, Devasena.
Before you come back here, I will place your son's head in your hands.
Before she circumambulates the temple, set the bridge on fire.
Attack!
How dare you break my statue?! My--
I believed you were dead all along, but you are alive.
Mere words cannot express how joyous I feel.
I always regretted that I couldn't kill your father myself.
You are a spitting image of him.
You have come to grant my unfulfilled dream.
And you have given me the chance to pluck your heart out.
How do I express my gratitude?
Mahendra Baahubali.
Oh, the delight of the earth Friend of the playful peacock
The melodious notes Of your laughter resonate
In the mind
With the compassionate glances
From your sword-bearing eyes
You uplift the earth, unyielding
With a firm resolve
Lord Rudra
Lord Rudra with trident in hand Protector of the seas and land
Hey…
Hey, Kattappa.
Mahendra!
No!
Devasena, listen.
Come with me.
We can both die.
The pyre is burning Still there is hope
In my heart
When he screams in agony, refusing to die,
his cries will echo through the Mahishmati palace!
Look who is here
The bravest of all
I give my first command in honor of Queen Mother Sivagami Devi's memory…
In our kingdom, those who believe in hard work and justice
will walk with their heads held high.
And if anyone dares to harm the good-natured,
no matter who they are, their head will burn in the flames of hell.
My word is final, and it shall be the law.
