Does anyone think that Bahubali 2 is a bit overrated?
Definitely. I remember watching a movie called Road to El Dorado, now imagine that movie being converted to 3D and marketed around with ‘300 odd core budget’ as the central pitch. How would you feel? Not good, isn’t it.
Had Bahubali been a complete 2D movie with a budget of 50 crores, it would have probably gone unnoticed. But, the movie was made on a budget of 300 crores, and it was released in 2017, and it was a sequel to a movie that was already a hit. The hype and the buzz around Bahubali 2 were enormous, and it was touted as the biggest movie ever made in India. But, does it live up to the hype? Let’s find out.
