Especially in Baahubali 2, you forget to take the breath! The screenplay is so tight and engaging. There is always one or two elevation scene(s) in every 10 or 15 minutes. Keep this point in mind and watch Baahubali 1 and 2. If you think the movie as a two-dimensional graph, his movies are like a sine wave except there are no negative values, only positive values occasionally rise to the peak. This will keep you engaged throughout the movie without any dull movement. IMO this is one of the reasons he takes more time to make movies as to conceive each such scene is not an easy job. Elevation scenes: He ensures there is at least one peak/elevation scene in every ten or 15 minutes of the movie even story won't allow for such scenes. He told in many interviews what is his success mantra. His biggest strength is his screenplay and emotional drama. I've known Rajamouli since his first movie. I bet you will get Goosebumps while watching some of the scenes (guaranteed). It is most engaging, gripping, jaw-dropping movie that I've seen in recent times. Finally, my review of this movie is as follows. If you still not satisfied at least appreciate people's hard work that put their heart and soul in this movie for 5 years. Think hard! You will realize the greatness of this movie. If there is nothing in this movie how it would collect that much. When you are rating this movie keep your negativity aside and watch again, think for a second why Baahubali 2 is able to achieve mind-boggling collections and able to run successfully for 50 days in 1050 centers. However, the majority of the people around the world embraced that movie and made it the biggest blockbuster ever in Hollywood film industry. That is not James Cameron best works compare to his previous movies Titanic, Terminator 2 etc. People questioned what is there in that movie other than spectacle VFX.

When his latest movie Avatar got released there were plenty of people who did not like the movie(IMDb rating 7.8). Also no director in the world can make a movie which satisfies all audiences. Therefore the point is just with hype and publicity no one can make movie run in long run. But everyone knows what the result of that movie at the end. Where Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger came to India to attend the audio function and that created so much buzz. There are plenty of examples like this another example is South Indian director Shankar's film 'I'. That hype helped to get unimaginable records on the first day and the first weekend, however, the content of the movie is not justifiable over the hype so it just collapsed at the box office. The Indian superstar Rajinikanth's movie Kabali hyped so high than any movie in India before and not even Baahubali 1 had that much hype. In fact, many times too much hype damages collections if the movie is not up to the mark.

The hype is good for the first day or weekend collections, but once the movie is out only the content wins at the box office. People who are saying this movie collections are just because of the hype should remember no movie in the world wins the box office just through the hype or publicity. The sheer collections of this movie in India alone prove how much this movie liked by common movie lover. This means when you keep negativity in mind everything looks negative. I'm surprised not even single point they liked in this movie.

I wonder whether people really watched this movie before giving 1-star ratings.
