Bahubali 2: The Conclusion >> 30 seconds Review and Trailer

Image
The sequel of Bahubali starts the story of Amrendra Bahubali (Prabhas) where the last movie left it. He is set to become the king - the entire Maahishmati kindgom is in a celebratory mood. He sets out to understand the problems faced by his subjects. That's when he comes across Devasena (Anushka Shetty) and falls for her. While he is living under cover in her palace trying to woo her, his evil cousin Bhallaladeva (Rana Daggubati) comes to know about it and plots against him.

Sivagami Devi (Ramya Krishnan) is influenced to give the throne to Bhallaladeva, while Bahubali is thrown out of the kingdom, and eventually murdered. Now it is upto Mahendra Bahubali to avenge the death of his father.

Rating: Yellow - overhyped movie but a good timepass nevertheless. Just like the first movie this movie is also awesome in parts and extremely boring in other parts.

William and Elizabeth Marston, the inventors of the world's first lie detection machine, have been kicked out of their jobs in Harvard University.

Will Wonder Woman help them get out of their lives of misery? Will they be able to live happily together?

Rating: Green - a gripping movie about the real lives of William, Elizabeth and Olive.
